Hey everyone, new poster, I am starting the MBA program and my first class. I am taking ISDS 705 with Dr. Lin. Ive been reading your comments and have had a lot of the same questions. Being in Tennessee it makes it hard to communicate with my classmates so I guess Ill resort to this message board. Sorry if this has already been answered, I just feel lost, this being my first graduate course. How many hours did you all put in for this class, and since the tests are proctored but open note/book did you find that helpful on Lin's tests. Also how do I post without commenting on someone else? Just an original post. Thanks for the help.

MADM752:

It seems this is back to something closer to the original course and not the boondoggle everyone described the last time this class ran.

We're just one week in, but the general format is:
* ongoing assignment to interview and develop a profile for a family business
* read a couple of textbook chapters (provided/no cost)
* watch a handful of short videos from various sources (30 min or so)
* listen to some short lectures from the professor (10-15min)
* 500 word APA format assignment pulling together the week's topics
* proctored quiz (proctorio) on everything (chapters, videos, lectures, etc.) Fairly easy and straight forward, but you need to know all the material.
