re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

When are those enrolled in FIN 701 plan on taking Exam 1? Looks like it's going to be Saturday AM for me. Nothing else sooner works me.

Has anyone attempted the Acct quiz for this week? The slides and book have taken two different paths and I'm wondering which to follow.

Some of these open-source textbooks are very poorly written. I appreciate the thought, but this is a step in the wrong direction for this program.

Hello, I hope someone can help me out with a few questions. I was recently accepted to LSUS and ULL in the online MBA program. In your opinion, which school is better recognized in the world? With my job, I travel alot and live in Germany at the moment. I read a post on page 90 where the responses were something like, "ULL is better in Louisiana but LSUS is better worldwide because of the LSU name." I would like a direct comparison between the schools without considering the LSU part of LSUS. I am only asking because I have never lived in Lousiana and don't know much about each school except that they are both state schools and have AACSB. Besides, most countries and companies know that LSUS is not LSU in BR. For example, the German Government has a list of each school from the United States and they even know that LSUS is not LSU in BR. From my research, I found that LSUS is a respected school and i am not suggesting that it is not; however, what would your advice be for me? ULL's online MBA or LSUS's online MBA? I noticed that the admission process was a bit more difficult with University of Lousiana Lafayette because I had to submit letters of recommendation and a Resume (even though my undergraduate CUM GPA was 3.1 and I was a business major) Second, does LSUS require a thesis? Last, is it hard to order the books on LSUS's online bookstore? Would it be a challenge to have them shipped to Germany? Do you think I could just order the book on Amazon from the ISBN number? Thank you guys/girls so much for helping! =) I hope the tone of this message did not come off as snobby. I am not bashing or suggesting that LSUS is not a good school because I know that it is. I am simply asking which of the two "good" schools would you recommend doing an online MBA with and I am not a fan of piggy back riding on other better known schools because of the name. Many UMUC students do this to University of Maryland, College Park and University of Maryland University College (UMUC) is also a state school and is good in its own right but it's not UMD.

Do you know if the LSUS online MBA requires a thesis? Thanks and your response was not that long =)

What a tough transition after you take ISDS 705 to go to James MKT 701. Ive already put in twice as much effort in the first week and a half of MKT as I did the entire course for ISDS. MKT is really the first class in the course I am disappointed with and it is my seventh course. I feel it is too much information scattered and pulled from too many directions to come away with a feeling that I actually got something from the course.

Thank you

I'm currently taking FIN 701. I went through the reading guide (Vines is not using a book this session) and plan on watching the zoom sessions tonight. I'll work the practice test tomorrow and take the exam on Saturday AM.

Reading through old posts, it seems as though reading the reading guide/watching the vidoes will be enough to prepare you for the exams. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for the help.

This is generally true with 2 caveats.

1. For the qualitative (non-math) questions, make sure you can explain the concepts from the reading guide in your own words and can do it quickly. You'll get points off or miss a question entirely if you just copy / paste stuff that he gave you.

2. For the quantitative (math) questions, make sure you can identify what kind of question you're dealing with and know what formulas are applicable. Then put those formulas in with your answer so he'll know at least what you were attempting to do in case you make a math error. Work his HW questions and "extra" questions multiple times to help with this.

Being prepared enough to be able to answer both types of questions quickly was the key for me. I earned an A on every exam but the time limit was an issue for me on the first one before I knew how his exams were.
