Currently in Felice Williams's MADM710 course and it isn't that bad. Discussion + Assignment + Quiz each week for it. The Wednesday deadline for the discussions is the most difficult thing. To do a good job on the discussion, you need to read the chapters Monday & Tuesday IMO. Likely MADM701 isn't much different.
MADM715 was far and away the worst put together course I took in this program. Very time consuming to read the same thing MANY times over and over throughout articles she threw together. I can't imagine it being worse as she's had time to (hopefully) better prepare and review her course material and exams. Her communication to the class as a whole was condescending (probably because she was getting overwhelmed with emails). The communication to the class as a whole is what really turned me off on her in general. January 2018 the program moved to textbook-free program and Spring AP2 was her first time doing it w/o one and it wasn't pretty.
You're going to have your hands full with MADM701 and MADM715. Anything is doable if have the time and put forth the effort but it's going to be a second full time job even if Wren cuts down on the readings. She had multiple weeks of 200-250+ page readings at the same time as having to complete course project around Week 4-5. I (luckily) took it alone. Based on last sessions MADM715 offering, would I recommend pairing MADM715 with anything? No. She completely lulled the class the first couple of weeks of normal sized readings and exams that appeared to be reviewed. All hell broke loose Weeks 3-7. We started getting hundreds of pages of readings, condescending email communication, and exams that simply weren't reviewed at all. I really can't imagine it being worse this session. She's had a few months to update and review her materials. Her course reviews before no textbook Spring AP2 course were decent so I'd hope our session was just an anomaly.
AP2 looks fine. Can pair anything with MADM720. Dr. Kimberley Williams is one of the better professors in the program. Had her as my mentor in MADM701 as well. Straight forward course that isn't time intensive.
I probably spent 2-3x more time on MADM715 alone than ISDS705 + MADM710 + MADM720 combined. (Assuming the structure of MADM701 isn't much differrent than MADM710 with Felice Williams). If the material for MADM715 had been reviewed, the time commitment would have drastically cut. I don't mind putting in the time. I do mind reading the same things 12 different times in a bunch of unreviewed internet articles while the professor -- that isn't reviewing her own material or exams -- is giving others career advice.
Good luck
