So how are everyone's classes going thus far?

It's too early to tell for HCAD 750. It looks like the professor was told to essentially copy the format of MADM 701 for this course. So, it feels like that class but with these differences:

1. The textbook seems better but the chapters have significantly more information to digest and commit to memory.
2. The powerpoints are of low quality and feel like something that was thrown together last minute. I don't think simply studying those are going to work for the exams in this class.
3. We have a 500-word minimum assignment each week but for Module 1 it's simply answering 6 questions he grabbed from the book, word for word. The weird thing is that we need to include an external source for each question but they can be easily answered from the book and aren't questions originally intended to generate discussion.
4. 3 of the 7 weeks include an addititional discussion forum assignment, which I assume will involve answering a discussion question and then responding to a classmate's answer.

I know of one person who has taken the exam (which also uses Proctorio and has 35 multiple choice and true/false questions) and they said it was difficult. I dont' plan on taking it until this weekend.

Anyone in MADM 715 a little worried about the weekly quizzes? Since they count for half of our grade, I am trying to figure out what to focus on, what the quiz will consist of etc. Anyone that has taken this course previously, can you provide some insight? It has probably changed since this is a new "textbook" so I may have to wait to take the first one to find out.

(no message)

Have you taken the exam? Shen mentioned 2 things in her lecture videos(state of the states and the history of gaming). Just wondering if this is all we need to study and how many questions? Any info would be helpful.

MADM715 seems OK so far. We'll see how the first test goes this weekend. The assignments are certainly OK and the "book" is straight forward.

People do seem to be reading way too much into things on the Student Forum. I've don't recall seeing this level of panic/insecurity in any of my other classes.

For those who like to plan ahead the class schedules are out on myLSUS through Spring19. Keep in mind they’re still adding classes, as I noticed a couple from the rotation schedule aren’t listed. Just a heads up!

I’m one of those you’re speaking of :(. I’m hoping more sessions are added. James is teaching both summer AND fall session, but I have to take it since I plan to graduate in December. Crossing my fingers for added classes!

Oh. My. God..
