Good move, ECON705 with Shaughnessy was excellent.

Econ 705 White
ISDS 705 Gibbs
Madm 715 Wren
Madm 760 Heller (I heard Meeks was good but no feedback on Heller


Can only comment on MADM 760.

I'd take MADM760 with Meeks if possible. He assigns weekly writing assignments that include 5 question based on the weeks required videos and readings. Each answer should be 100+ words. I found he grades generously. He adds an extra credit question to each writing assignment so I usually ended up with over 100% on the writing assignments (i.e. 42/40, 54/50).

There is a team component to the class. He places you in groups of 4-5 people and you meet weekly on Zoom to answer the questions on the team PowerPoint. Luckily, I had great groups for both MADM 751 & 760 so the meetings were pleasant and scheduling was no problem. 760 also has weekly quizzes which are a breeze.

The assignments felt meaningful. I learned a lot in his classes.

Thanks so much!!! From Kris to anothe!

My wife is looking at on-line RN to BSN programs.

---

My wife completed the University of Louisiana Lafayette online RN to BSN program back in December of 2016.

LINK

She had all the needed pre-req's so she was able to complete it in just 1 year. Pretty much every class contained:

1. Forum post, and response
2. Multiple choice quizzes
3. Research papers

And then sometimes some sort of main project, which could just be the research paper. However, I know for one course I had to take a video of her doing a patient assessment.

In another course she had to look at statistics on health care challenges in a particular area of our city and then had to come up with some kind of plan to improve it. This included her interviewing / documenting feedback from the closest healthcare related business in that area. I think she setup an interview with a pharmacist.

Another project had her identifying a major problem within her place of work (she works in a hospital setting) and then come up with a project plan for how to improve it.

She said the program wasn't too bad and she definitely recommends it to any nurse wanting their BSN. She still has some co-workers in it, and though they continue to modify the program (like LSUS), it sounds like it hasn't changed too much from when she did it.

I hope that helps.

SoCal-has your wife looked into UTA, WGU, or Capella? All of them are online programs. I did an accelerated BSN back in the day, but I have colleagues that have good things to say about those programs.

Good Lord.. Has anyone else looked at part one of the project James assigned for Mkt 701? A 14 to 20 page paper due Feb 16th... In addition to the reading and exams...

I'm seriously debating dropping with a W and waiting for another prof.. Or just taking a "C" for this class and not writing this.. RIP 4.0...

How do you guys feel about it?

Robbie,

I'm concerned about the remaining workload as well. Had I known taking this class would be like a second job, I wouldn't have doubled it up. I'm honestly not certain I have time in my life for these kinds of commitments. Something each of us will have to decide for ourselves I suppose.

Brent,

You're right about her workload being well documented. Thanks for your insight.

Yes, such joy isn't it!
