re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Hey wolf, what you described doesn't sound too bad. How much writing is the journal? I like that the quizzes - and I assume the final - are all open book No proctoring?

jwilliams,

I think AP2 looks fine. Jury is out on AP1 as ACCT appears to be changing format and Darrat is a new instructor for MKT.

He does examples that basically show you how to do the assignment from questions and records them.

Oh, I know. Any time I get stuck I look for a recorded Zoom video to point me in the right direction.

I was just trying to explain why I think this class is catching some people off guard. It seems each week there is 2 - 3 new forum posts on the Moodle site with people claiming this is the hardest class they've ever taken and they don't know how they'll pass it. And every time Shaughnessy responds asking why they didn't reach out to him and if they watched the videos.

You can tell he's at his wit's end on how to help them. I feel bad for him because I can tell he's a good teacher and tries to make this as fun as he can.

Agreed on Shaughnessy. I didn't like the class but between the text, powerpoints, video lectures, zoom sessions, and forum posts, he goes beyond any of the other instructors in the program in regards to presenting the material.
From what I recall in that class and what I'm seeing now in FIN 710, the problems people are having on the discussion forums isn't necessarily ECON or FIN concepts... it's calculus and algebra.

Even in ACCT701 with Ambrosio which is probably the easiest class I've ever taken, there were people having problems converting thousands to millions.

In Econ, it's people complaining about Excel even though you can watch the videos and see exactly what you need to do.

I may not like the class format, but really he is an excellent teacher and seems very responsive to people's questions.

Glad I found this thread.Just enrolled in the program. Planning to take ACCT701 and MADM701 or MADM715 in Fall AP1.

Best of luck with the program! It is so weird looking at post like yours because it was me last August or so!! I remember thinking "man I wish I was half done like those guys are", well now I am!! I only have 4 more classes to go! Enjoy your time in the program, stick with it, reach out and meet people and make new professional contacts! It will fly faster than you think.

I missed another 3 point one. Ugh! It was the true IRR one which involved multiple steps. I forgot about that and used my excel template. Since I didn't get any of the answers, I just guessed and guessed wrong. I knew how to solve this!

I must have missed the same one as you where the answers was -1. I thought those were pretty easy, I don't have my paperwork to check. Were you able to solve it now and get -1?

Does anyone happen to have syllabus for either MADM715 or ACCT701? Would greatly appreciate it if anyone does could email to me at sarahkary28@yahoo.com

Thank you!
