re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

No, I agree with you. There is also a discussion board post + 25 question quiz each week. My discussion board posts have fallen in the 1000-1500+ range or thereabouts. Just as an example this week there were 4 questions to answer in that post including one that required 2 pro/cons and fully fleshed out arguments to go with it. Before that last question my word count was at 948. As it’s an HR class we are working on things weekly like writing a fully fleshed out job description + analysis, but we weren’t allowed to write it on our own job or one within our department. And both discussion board post and weekly assignment require a fair amount of outside research as they ask questions that can’t be answered with the core text.

All of this is fine—it’s a graduate level course after all—it’s just much more involved than the syllabus made it look in the beginning. I’d say the workload is nearly comparable to James’ MKT701 when you factor in all the research/etc.
