DieDaily, great post showing the tone of posts 2 years ago. Many of the same challenges as today. However, I think it's this new textbook policy that's a major shift -- and not for the better.

As others have commented, I also want to see LSUS's reputation stay strong. While I believe the school had the best intentions -- saving students money on textbooks -- I think it's backfiring. Sharing our concerns with professors and administration will hopefully drive them to reconsider this policy.

I think that having been quoted in that previous post, some of the same things then remain today. My issue is with these teacher assistants graduated from Phoenix, Capella, and other for-profit schools that are obviously not AACSB grading our papers as if they have a clue. The text books issue needs to get corrected moving forward. These books are filled with misspelling errors and bad content. The professors are top notch but they could use help is writing test questions. MADM 701 questions are "Which of these choices is not..." which has been proven to be the wrong way to frame a question when testing for knowledge. The learning objectives from these books do not match the module LOs and so on. Very frustrating. A lot of work to keep a 4.0 gpa in my opinion. I am so ready to be done...
