For the session that starts tomorrow, one of my classes is ISDS 705 with Darban. I just looked through the syllabus and noticed it requires a group project, which seems to require an excessive amount of work including 3 in-person interviews, research, and is expected to result in an 18-25 page paper.

Add to this the fact that since groups were assigned by alphabetically order, it is very likely members are in different time zones and probably have conflicting schedules. This wouldn't be an issue for a small project, but this one seems HUGE.

If anyone here has gone through this class, I would love to hear about your experience - especially in regards to the group project. I am afraid I may end up dropping the class, and, since it doesn't look like there are any opening in other classes, dropping it put me behind my expected completion date of the MBA program.

I've been through ISDS705 with Lind, which sounds like it's similar. Basically, if anyone in your group owns their own company, no matter how small, USE THAT COMPANY!!! If no one owns a company, then find a VERY CLOSE and UNDERSTANDING friend of someone in your group. It's painful, but you have to get through it. DO NOT just go knocking on doors to ask random people if you can interview them; that is guaranteed to fail.
