NSA,

That sounds like a good plan. I didn't know earlier, but it seems ISDS 702 is a good preliminary course for more than just ECON 705.

No one said Shaughnessy was EASY. I said he is the gold standard for professors, but it's Econ. The only person I know that loves Econ is Shaughnessy, and it's clear that he REALLY LOVES IT.

That passion for the subject shines through and drives his passion to help others love it, or at least learn it. The class is NOT easy, I struggled pretty hard and put in countless hours every night in order to barely earn my A. My strategy was going over the three assignments and assessments over and over again until I was absolutely sure my answers were 100% correct. By getting mostly 100's on the "easier" stuff, I was able to squeak past the end of week assessments.

It was my first course, and fortunately, I paired with ISDS 705, so I actually devoted full time to Econ. No joke, I spent as much time on Econ as I did with MKT 701 (Darrat), just in a different format, obviously.

He's the gold standard. Highly responsive, cares about student success, LOVES the actual subject matter, lecture videos, supplemental videos, weekly zooms, reasonable (albeit difficult for most people) workload, and will do just about everything he can to help you learn, short of giving you the answer. That doesn't mean easy, but you probably won't be left feeling cheated by a worthless or unreasonably/unnecessarily heavy class.

Almost five weeks down in the class and all your insights to ECON705 are bearing true. I instinctively started taking the same route as you did... control what I can by making sure I got 100s on all the preliminaries each week so that I have a little wiggle room on the final assessments.

Dr. S constant engagement in the class is showing and everything is just clicking now because of his explanations. He puts in huge effort. I totally see his "Gold Status" now.

I see the announcement for FIN740 actually recommended ISDS 702 as a good class to take first. I really think the school push this as a preliminary class to be taken as early in the program as possible.
