I've included all the tips in the "A" strategy section of my reviews. However, to clarify further... to get through her tests you need to read between the lines. Do not look for or expect the exact words/vocabulary from your reading. She literally changes words that I feel shouldn't be changed (because they are the official terminology) in order to trip you up. She thinks it "makes you think" but they're really just tricks that test your ability to connect something like:
What is the name of a Beatle's song
"The long and winding road" would not be an answer but one of the answers might be
"The random street that goes on and on in different directions". In McLaughlin's mind, this is the correct answer because it "made you think".
The other quirk of her tests is extremely difficult to prepare for and you will need either luck or a photographic memory. She typically has one question that tests your memory of a subset of a single topic (you won't know which one she will do it on) and makes you try to figure out her reasoning for something. Like... What is the best device for enhancing vision. The answers will be:

Eyeball
Lens
Glasses
Telescope

There will not actually be anything remotely related to this in the reading or materials you were given. You may have had one relatively unimportant seeming topic related to vision that didn't discuss any of these. However, the right answer would be "lens" because the others three actually all rely on a lens to function (and "eyeball" doesn't enhance vision).

Wish I could give you better tips but other than that, use the "A" strategy tips I provided. Her MADM 760 actually wasn't bad compared to her MADM 701, which was definitely worse. MADM 760 had the exams at 48% of the grade, with the discussions and case analyses being easy 100s giving you wiggle room on the tests. Her class gives you a relatively lighter workload compared to some of the other MADM 760 sections, but it doesn't come without some sort of cost... in this case it is the lack of instruction and trick questions.

baroqen-

Would you have any feedback on the professors teaching MADM760 Munsum Kim or Samuel Wyatt? I think about signing up for these classes but would like some info if anyone has information on the professors?

Thanks,

Amazing example and direction. It was useful for my last week exam - 90% scored the first time.!? :-) I lost some scores in the discussion forum and case analysis, however, picked up well for the past 3 weeks. Now just crossing 800 and starting in the final week. I appreciate your quick note and help.! Thank you.!

Your A strategy tips for the class and description of the exams are spot on. I'm in my last week and experienced exactly as you described on the exams. Studied 10 hrs per for the last 4 and got a 95, 70, 90, 80. Have no idea which questions I missed, especially on the last two where I missed two per (last exam was only 10 questions).
Other than that, the grading has been fair on the assignments, just need to follow the rubric as you said.
Would take her again due to the workload being manageable, but am still dissappointed in my exam performances. Having said that, I draw the line at 10hrs for study time.
