re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

On another note, there doesn't seem to be a way for us to Private Message each other. I'd love to communicate directly with some of you.

For most classes you have to post a response to a prompt in a discussion forum every week. Usually its 500-1000 words which isn't terrible. Then you have to respond to other people's responses in the same format. I cannot remember what marketing class it was but we had to do three 15 page case studies that was essentially all busy work and answering the same questions in 10 different ways until you get to your page limit.

For the tests there was a lot of reading involved but as I said before the test bank is your friend. If you don't know what those are, text book companies will offer teachers sample test questions when they use their books. A lot of time the professors will either add a few to their own tests, or pull 50 questions from the bank and give it as their own test. Certain websites will buy the book then sell the test bank questions. Some people are very against using them but IMO if a teacher is too lazy to make their own test questions then I don't feel bad about only studying the bank.

I will say that I have a skewed view of the program because it was basically a review of everything I learned in my undergraduate studies (Business Management). When you are in school for 18 years straight, you are just ready for it to be over. I have always seen school as a means to an end and did what I had to do to get an A but nothing more. A lot has changed in the business world in 16 years so I am sure you will get more out of it than I did. Best of luck to you!
