re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Same here. I've gotten lots of help and advice on this thread already! It has helped me plan out my entire MBA class plan.

Have you not seen my contributions and being helpful in this thread?

Look, it’s just a personal observation, but please, when you get some spare time, take a look at the posts on here from about a year or so ago. You have nowhere near the criticism as you do recently.


ETA:

I actually am the one who bumped this thread on page one when after a few days it was lost in the shuffle and since:

It has been front and center of this money board. I’m not looking for gratification, just don’t understand and appreciate the negative vibe of this thread the past few months, that’s all.

Since this is a public forum, people are going to use this as a platform to share their displeasure and negative experiences with the program more often than the good. As long as this continues to be a good source of information for those of us enrolled and prospective students, I couldn’t care less about the downvotes personally. Let’s just continue using this for its intended purpose and not a textbook exchange

The votes do not matter to me.Look at my last post 4 messages up. I simply asked for advice and got a down vote. Do not take it personal Paul. On the flip side i know Paul Socal77 and jeauxcool have been on this forum with great information for a long time and ive learned from their comments yet the only statement responded to was Paul complaint and not my post simply asking for help. I question why that is

signa7,
MADM 715 is the only class on that list that I've had. I liked it and have often had to use what I learned at work. You have to read and study but no real busy work other than a virtual presentation. 2 chapters to read / week with a quiz administered through McGraw Hill Connect and graded for completion only. A weekly exam that is proctored via proctorio. The exams are tough but should be able to get an A if read the material, take notes, and study.

FIN 720 is the only other class listed that isn't new.

I've tried to read some posts here to see if Econ 705 or ISDS 705 takes more of my time, and it seems Econ would? I'd like to take a few days off after the first week of Spring AP2 and am trying to figure which of the two classes would accommodate that. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks.

I would definitely contribute to the discussion, but I am very new to the program. I'm still getting my feet wet.

Hey Luke,
I'm in my 4th class, almost half-way there. I know others are much more knowledgeable, but I appreciate your response and hope to help more as I get more experience in the program myself.

I am in both Econ and ISDS. The latter is on autopilot, and except for the three test days you can fully decide when you work on the class. ECON is a great class and is taught well. You need to stay on it consistently, though. You can do almost everything on your own schedule within the week, but you can't skip a week and unless you already know economics, you really can't backload it in a day or two late in the week either. Also, unless you have a good statistics or calculus background, you will spend time figuring out formulas and trying to make sense of the logical applications of the formulas. It isn't hard really, but it can be time consuming. Some people are struggling and have posted their frustration. But it is clear to me that they are not taking advantage of the resources they have with the zoom sessions and a good professor. Also, they don't seem to be putting in the work with the problems in the book or the class practice problems. I never see them in the live zoom sessions. I spend a lot of hours in the class and have almost a 98% so far.
