re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Just took the MKT 701 exam. I missed 3. It was all from the ppt slides. No clue which ones I missed. I read every ppt deck at least 5 times and created outlines of each. The red highlighted portions of the slides do not apparently mean much since my questions were from all over.

So I just log in through Moodle to take the exam. The site does a quick system check, show your i.d. and the exam starts. I did not have to move my camera around to show my work area or anything. They apparently watch bodily movements and record sound. At one point I needed a calculator, but the proctorio is full screen with no calculator. I had a blank sheet of paper on my desk with a pencil and showed it to the camera front and back before writing on it. I then went into chat to ask about a calculator. She said the instructor did not indicate to make it available. Unless you enter chat, there is no contact with anyone, its just records your session. I did find myself thinking of every single bodily movement, eye twitch, etc.. which was kind of a source of stress at least for me. Other than that it was a painless process.

I used a laptop with 3gb RAM. The system said I should probably not use that computer because it needs 4gb. That annoyed me because I passed the system check last week with that laptop. I used it anyway and it was fine.

Note that Proctorio requests a camera sweep of your room partway through exams. It's annoying, because you have to stop whatever you were doing and do that immediately. The only times I haven't had to do that on a Proctorio exam is when the test was very short (like five to ten minutes). My understanding from a previous class is that the sessions are available for a teacher (or class coach) to review, but that it's also being automatically processed for obvious issues (like your face disappearing or something).

I don't ever think about proctors or whatever while taking a test, so it doesn't bother me at all whether it's record/review like Proctorio or a live proctor.

Same here. Missed 3 on it just now.

@Multis10, prof did some Q's today, were you in the zoom session..

This ACCT class is bizarre. The first 3 questions & answers were identical word for word from the text. Now he's changed the answers so they are not.

Starting to think people don't realize they can do that. He didn't penalize anyone who already took and I hope he doesn't any yet to take it... can't penalize someone for giving the answer straight from the required textbook.

Doesnt atter where you get your MBA unless it's a top25 progra. Do it cheaply

According to the graduation paperwork, honors designations are awarded for undergraduate degrees only.

There is, apparently, a Beta Gamma Sigma (business degree honor society) chapter that you may be eligible to join with a higher GPA.

Other than that...GPA is probably not hugely relevant to anything other than bragging rights and/or future academic program admittance.
