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.

Thanks for the advice - I very much appreciate it.
Now, here is one of the things that concerns me about the 7 weeks sessions...

There is a 4 day period (Thursday - Sunday) about 2/3 of the way through where we do a company retreat, and it would be very close to impossible to do any coursework.
In fact, many times we purposely go off places where we have a chance to brainstorm and roundtable ideas without outside distractions.
I am very concerned about reaching a point during the term where I have difficulty preparing or submitting a required assignment on a Saturday.

Do the professors have any leeway to work with you in circumstances like this?

Thoughts?
