re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Satnights,

I've heard Heller is good so you probably won't regret it. The details have generally been vague but positive. No group work, which is important to me.

I should re-iterate that McLaughlin's tests can be a bit tricky. If you're lucky, you can pick up a bunch of easy questions, but I've also been unlucky before and gotten hit with questions that were more granular. It's tough for me to remember every single little detail, so I'm sure I miss some of these and it's been tough for some other students as well. For me, it's a calculated risk as I place a lot of value in the predictable and balanced workload.

Perhaps I was traumatized, but I would HATE to have another class like MKT 701 (A. Darrat) where literally 44% of the class was concentrated into two weeks (3 and 5) and you're hit with an exam covering multiple weeks, a discussion post and reply, AND a full case analysis on those weeks, while weeks 1, 2, and 6 are just two discussion posts and replies (worth 12% total).

McLaughlin's MADM 760 was, weekly discussion with two replies, a short weekly current event paper (I would say 500-1000 words), and a weekly exam on the two chapters for the week. 701 was a similar format (although only 4 weeks of forum posts). No weeks are light but neither are any weeks unusually heavy.
