re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Yep thats it. It was time consuming work but i didnt think it was too difficult of a class.

I used the book as my only external source for all assignments/discussions/round ups. Only once did I get dinged for not using multiple external sources. The grading is super inconsistent. I literally copied and pasted the example she gave for proper APA format of the textbook, and got dinged on my last assignment for incorrect APA format. I enjoyed the material learned in the class, but really disliked the instructors as a whole. All instructions were as clear as mud.

APA citations are the bane of my existence.

They're called academic coaches and yeah they can be rather inconsistent with grades. Tread with caution.

I'm in the MKT class with Dr. James. I've only taken one Chapter quiz but I actually thought it was difficult. Scored an 87 but the conceptual questions were very difficult for me to address. I'm hoping it is just the rust on a 13 year break from school. I studied way too hard on relatively easy material for an 87.

Dr. James was not easy

I did mkt 701 and MADM 760 in the same module when I first started. Made a B in both. Had zero life outside of work and school for 7 weeks. Stick with it.

Sorry, didn't keep anything for ECON, it was fairly straight forward, open video in one tab and quiz in another and do them at the same time those should all be easy 100's same thing with the mid module checkpoint because you get two attempts and questions are the same both times. Make sure you can answer the practice questions and explain why and how you got your answer and you should be fine on weekly quizzes.

Overall 701 with Williams isn't as bad as I thought originally. Guys who have taken her before, she hasn't stated anything about an exam nor does it count it in the possible points. Is this going to come from left field in a few weeks or do you think she switches her routine from session to session?

So I came across an ad for the LSUS MBA program and decided to look into it. Not a day later, yesterday, I stubbled upon this thread and have read through every page now and jotted some notes regarding your opinions. I appreciate the input that all of you have provided.

This whole MBA idea is only a couple days old in my mind, but my biggest worry with this program is all of the busy work that you mention many of the courses have. I have a math/statistics oriented brain. The courses like ISDS and FIN don't worry me as much as say the MADM classes that require extensive reading and writing. I'm not afraid of the work; rather it's just not my favorite part of education, nor my specialty. Also, I have a BBA and 9 years experience so I shouldn't have to take the BADM 700/701 classes, although that hasn't been confirmed by LSUS.


I'm deciding between starting Spring AP2 and taking 1 class to get my feet wet or just waiting until Summer AP2 to go full swing. I'm also going to have to take off Summer AP1 because I'll be out of town the first week and a half of that session.

Any general advice toward my situation? Are others of you math oriented? If so, which courses would you recommend first, paired, solo, etc.? Again, thanks for everyone's input so far.
