So how are everyone's classes going thus far?
It's too early to tell for HCAD 750. It looks like the professor was told to essentially copy the format of MADM 701 for this course. So, it feels like that class but with these differences:

1. The textbook seems better but the chapters have significantly more information to digest and commit to memory.
2. The powerpoints are of low quality and feel like something that was thrown together last minute. I don't think simply studying those are going to work for the exams in this class.
3. We have a 500-word minimum assignment each week but for Module 1 it's simply answering 6 questions he grabbed from the book, word for word. The weird thing is that we need to include an external source for each question but they can be easily answered from the book and aren't questions originally intended to generate discussion.
4. 3 of the 7 weeks include an addititional discussion forum assignment, which I assume will involve answering a discussion question and then responding to a classmate's answer.

I know of one person who has taken the exam (which also uses Proctorio and has 35 multiple choice and true/false questions) and they said it was difficult. I dont' plan on taking it until this weekend.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that DieDaily. Hopefully it will get better. That was my fear with the course.

Hey Daily,

Ha. "powerpoints are of low quality" may be the understatement of the year.

How are your impressions now that we're a couple weeks into it. I've been averaging about 1300-1500 words on my assignments. Don't know if I'm overkilling or if that's what it takes to get full credit. Seems odd to just have a list of questions. I feel like I could just copy/paste the paragraph out of the text for each question. Like you said, some of the questions don't lend themselves to discussion as much as a simple answer.

This is my first class at LSUS. How does HCAD 750 stack up to the other classes as far as amount of work / difficulty. The instructor seems pretty disengaged other than reminding people that they won't get credit for any late work.
