Hello Everyone,

I have read a lot of this great forum and feeling very good about my decision to start this program. Now, I need a bit of advice based on what will be offered Spring AP2.
I have been out of school for 20 years, and have the time to devote to this daily, but will do only 1 class per term initially.

The available courses for me are:
ECON 705
ISDS 705
MADM 760

I am an Electrical Engineer, but have served as CIO and manager of accounting for 20 years of a private New York company. I understand finance and accounting, as well as computing, social networks etc.

Where should I start with the program to get back into it, and why? Any one of these 3 would probably work out, but maybe something that gets me used to the online program and test taking?

Thanks so much -

There are multiple teachers in AP2 that we don't have a lot of information on. I recommend for ECON and MADM 760 you take with the known good professors, as it will get you off to a good start with the program.

ECON 705 with Shaughnessy - Mainly gathering data and running regressions in Excel.

ISDS 705 with Lin - supposedly the easiest course/teacher in the program. If you're looking to double up, it would be with this class.

MADM 760 with Meeks - Good teacher, very responsive. Lots of videos to watch every week. Uses some well known popular business books vs textbooks. A fair amount of writing, but not horrible.

I'd start with either MADM 760 or ECON 705. MADM 760 with Meeks is one of the best courses in the program, so I'd probably go with this one since you have a solid business background.
