I'm also interested in any information related to Huang for Acct 701. Seems like Ambrosio is well liked but Huang may be new...nothing on RateMyProfessors, either. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I don't know anything about Huang.
What I liked most about Ambrosio is that he applied Acct. Lessons to real-life business scenarios. Look at these statements and tell me if the company is well-positioned, what areas can they improve, and what can they do to improve those areas.

If you do get cold feet about Huang's unknown factor, keep in mind that core classes are now offered every term. You will be able to take ACCT 701 any time in the future. I'm using this to alter my own schedules. If I see a concentration class with a "desirable" instructor... I snag the concentration and drop the core. Also, if I do not see a "desirable" instructor in the core class I want... I take something else and wait it out. Essentially, I look to strike where the iron is hot each term.

I took the LSUS program for the same reasons as most of you. I would have preferred a local option allowing me to interact/network/study with professionals in my area, but that wasn't practical and also a very acceptable loss for all the benefits of LSUS online.

I see incessant grumblings about a few classes being overly tedious with minimal benefit; sometimes it is just a specific instructor while sometimes it seems to be the class... regardless of instructor. I really don't want to invest 40 hrs per week in a course without getting a ton of bang for that buck (other than our piece of paper at the end).

I'm thinking of mitigating both the above issues by taking a couple of classes locally. General LSUS guidelines are that we MAY be approved to transfer in six Masters-level credits (two classes). With that said, I will have the following classes remaining:

ISDS 710
MADM 760
MKTG 701
FIN 701

I'm looking at trying to take MKTG 701 and MADM 760 locally. I hear FIN 701 is hard but educational and beneficial. ISDS 710 seems in total disarray but may be decent if they iron out the "R" bugs... or I can replace it with FIN 740 which could be very difficult but teach me a ton.

Am I exaggerating the bad work/benefit ratio of MKT 701 or MADM 760 or does this seem like a rational course of action? Has anyone else transferred in credits after starting the LSUS program?
