re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

I was always told ISDS and Econ should never be paired up. Take it for what it's worth, but I don't know how the workload is nowadays.

As ISDS 705 was just recently moved from an elective to a core, their isn't a lot of feedback in this forum about it. It seems to be a pretty straight forward class. I'm not taking it until Fall AP2.

I was registered for MADM 710 in the Spring as a double but ended up dropping it before the session started. I still have the syllabus if you want to see what you're in for. Nothing extraordinary, just your typical MADM class with lots of writing, discussion forums posts, and term paper.

I also only doubled up once so far in the program. FIN 730 and MADM 715. Neither required any busy work and I still felt overwhelmed keeping up with the material. I have to do it one more time to finish by my self-imposed deadline and I'm not looking forward to it. Kudos to those who double up every session... I don't know how you manage.

Thanks but the syllabus is already posted. Looks like 4 exams, 1 interview, 5 case studies, and weekly forum discussions. Exams are proctored now too it seems. This is for MADM 710 with Dr. Kungu. ISDS only has 3 exams that make up your final grade. Looks like a lot of recommended but not required busy work to go along with it.

Latest news from the program


 

On Behalf of the MBA Director:

 

The MBA Program at LSUS continues to ensure the quality of our program and enhance your educational experience by incorporating new online learning tools such as ProctorU, Proctorio, and Turnitin.  These tools allow professors to engage in exam proctoring and originality evaluations of written assignments.  At LSUS, a major value associated with our MBA Program is AACSB accreditation, which means that we exhibit the highest standards of academic excellence and integrity.  A new no-review policy ensures adherence to these standards.  This policy states that professors will not return individual quizzes, assessments, or exams for review.  Professors may share general results, but graded tests will not be returned.

 

Starting Fall AP1, the MBA Honor Code will be implemented in all MBA courses.  This code reminds students of the University’s Student Code of Conduct and states our program’s expectations regarding high ethical standards.  Acceptance of the MBA Honor Code is required for each course.  No course materials, including the syllabus, will be visible until the honor code is accepted.   

 

When you graduate from LSU Shreveport, you can be proud of having a Master of Business Administration degree that is academically strong, quality-ensured, and integrity-based.  We believe that an MBA graduate from LSU Shreveport deserves no less than the best!

 

Al_Supertramp, where'd you find the PDF for $28? I'm taking that class also so I'd love a cheaper option. My email is mrsmfelix@hotmail.com if you can send a link

It appears that they're so lazy that they just want to reuse the same tests and quizzes over and over again. It's the only way I can understand a policy of no reviews.

I'm fine with not showing the correct answers during the test period, but not even being informed of what I need to work on has me extremely unhappy.

I don't see how this has anything to do with academic honesty. I've never in my academic career not been handed back a test to see what I got wrong.

Unfortunately I'm on the 1 class at a time schedule and have about a year left of this baloney.

I'm the same way. I'll be the first to say I prefer writing and actually applying the concepts. Multiple choice built to purposefully trick you isn't the best way to learn information and retain it for the long-term. If you miss a question and can't review it later, you'll likely miss it on a comprehensive final.

Wolfpack714 so all classes are required to use proctoring services now? This sucks if the professors choose to use the option where I have to set up a certain time to take the test just because of how much traveling my job does... booooo lol

I haven't had a class that uses ProctorU yet but had a few that used Proctorio. Proctorio you don't have to set up a time to take the exam. It's a google chrome extension. It does some security checks to makes sure you don't have multiple monitors or browsers. It takes a screenshot of you and your ID for verification then it just records you taking the exam. Occasionally it will ask you to scan the room. It's a very easy and low strain application. Hopefully those still using ProctorU will swith over to proctorio.
