re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

I also just finished my first semester, MADM 760 with Heller (got an A, also) and am also going into ACCT 701 with Ambrosio. I am only taking one class at a time so as not to kill myself and manage home life with a wife and a 2 year old. I also plan to take ISDS 705 with Gibbs.

Those in MKT701 with Darratt this session, the syllabus is now available.

You don't really need a book with Vines. I took him back before the no book policy and we barely used it. Be able to do everything he teaches in his condensed notes, have your spreadsheets/templates ready for the quizzes, and attend the Zoom sessions if you have any questions.

@tigerlsus One page back on 308 someone mentions a text. I am also from a non-biz background and found that I needed to supplement Vines' notes with other sources in order to grasp the concepts. His notes contain acronyms that aren't defined, examples that skip some of the steps and things like that which take for granted a background knowledge that I didn't have.

I used supplemental videos, the best of which were "mbabulls#*t.com" (spell it out -- I just don't want TD to flag it for profanity here). They are on a website by the same name and also on You Tube. Some of the videos require subscription but there are enough of them available for free to get you through the course. The guy is a gifted teacher who breaks down the BS and explains the concepts in jargon-free language. This is now my go-to resource for quantitative classes.

This MKT701 - Darrat syllabus is a little daunting. But doable since I’m not doubling this term.

Anybody have a syllabus from the new marketing professor?

To those that have completed the program. Is there a graduation fee? If so, how much is it?

Thanks.

Dude look forward to ISDS 705 with Gibbs. He is awesome!

agree, has anyone on here taken this with Darrat that can weigh in? Any tips?

I justed finished his MKT 710 class and have him now for MKT701.
The work is the same except 701 has 3 ecams and 710 had no exams but a 10-15 page final paper.

He is quick to respond and pretty straightforward.
If you do the work you will be fine.
All in all I enjoyed him and the class.

I'm taking ECON 705 with Shanassey during the second half of the fall semester. Those who have taken it, would you recommend stacking it and, if so, with what course/professor?

I'm trying to avoid doing the summer semester next year.
