Has anyone looked at the reading for next week in MADM 715?? I counted somewhere near 180 pages of reading. Hopefully, some guidance comes out on what to focus on for the weekly test. Kind of intimidating!

I thought you all were joking about the 180 pages. Then i started scrolling through the reading and the pages kept going and going...........is this a one time thing...or were the first two weeks a bamboozlement on expectations?!

Any info on what to expect on the fin720 exam 1. Taking later today?

Thanks for the heads up on the MADM 715 abstract. I'm feeling really overwhelmed. This class is really confusing (and frustrating) regarding due dates. Most classes have Saturday or Sunday due dates which make a lot of sense for distance students. These mid-week due dates are not only hard to track, but I'm running into scheduling issues thanks to work and life commitments.

The course is quite interesting, and I think the material is good, but I've spent over 16 hours research time already on this project in the two weeks of class, and I'm nowhere near ready to create a presentation or even write an abstract (something I would typically write last). I don't think I'm going to get much sleep this week, as trying to balance this week's reading along with moving the research project along is a ton of work.

Hi everyone! I'm finally diving into this site although I've been referencing it for months. I'm on my 4th class in the program and I'm loving it. I'm currently in ISDS 705 with you, WDE251. Looking forward to the first test Wednesday. I'm a little weirded out by the easy content and open book invitation. Not sure what to expect. Each class I've taken so far has had an entirely new format for me to adapt to. Keeps things exciting, you could say.

Anyone in Fin 701 this quarter? Is it a pair-able class?

Rosendo, I am in the same spot. There is no real instruction and not enough hours in the day to read hundreds of forum posts looking for the answers to the problems. Unlike other professors, like Dr. Vines, she offers a single zoom session. I'm pretty disheartened. This is my fifth class, and I have three A's and a B in the other classes. I don't see me making it past this class. I will likely stick around until April 11th, and drop at that time. If the next two weeks are more manageable, then its possible I can bring my grade up. If not, I am considering calling it a day with the program. As others have noted, it has taken a considerable turn for the worse since LSUS has attempted to do away with purchasing text books. On a side note, almost 33% of the class has dropped and week two isn't even finished yet.

@Danal did you pair ISDS 705 with anything? While i'm finding it was perfect to pair with MADM 715, the overlapping due dates and my upcoming bday and trips make it not so easy. Test #2 and the MADM virtual project are due on the same day
