Let's put our big brains to use to solve this puzzle.
Case Study: An MBA student at LSUS has 7 classes left. Said student would like to "double-up" one term with 2 "easy" classes. Out of the following remaining courses, which would be best to pair and with what professors?
The only "easy" course here is ISDS 705. Since you have 7 left, you can take MKT 701 solo. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience or info on MADM 715 and MADM 751, so I'm not much help there.
MKT 701 (James) - single course
MADM 701 (Anyone but Williams) + ISDS 705 (Lin) - probably the "easiest" pairing based on what you have left and my experience
FIN 701 (Vines) + MADM 715/751
ECON 705 (Shaughnessy) + MADM 715/751

MADM751 w. Meeks is practically identical to how he runs MADM760. I think Meeks is one of the better teachers, an easy grader, and I wouldn't hesitate to pair this class. However, it is a somewhat writing centric class and a fair number of people last session seemed to think his class was a slog. I would pair this class with no issues.
MADM715 w. Wren isn't that bad of a course, but if you have a hard time with reading a large amount of information, learning the important parts, and getting tested on it, you won't like this class. There's a 10 minute audio/visual presentation (recorded voice embedded in powerpoint slides) as the primary project in the class. There were a large number of complaints in the session I took this class. A lot of this was around the fact that she references material across the internet and there is duplication of data to wade through. I wouldn't pair it.
I think Wren is a lot like Dr. James in that she has extremely high expectations of what MBA caliber work is all about and doesn't cut a lot of slack to those unwilling to step up. I personally didn't mind the information overload, but it's not in a polished and tidy book, so if you're not used to this sort of learning I can see the shock and dismay over this class.
She is a lawyer and her responses and attitude fit the mold. This really rubbed a large number of my fellow students the wrong way. I get it, but if you've worked with legal people before, she's completely cut from the same cloth.
TL:DR - No, you probably don't want to pair MADM715, but if you do make sure it's an easier class without a lot of deliverables.
