My suggestion is to designate one person as the zoom leader that sets the meetings and one person that gets the template slides started. Google slides is a good way for each team member to drop their info into the slides and everyone is working off the most current version. Get the slides in good shape before your zoom session so the meeting will be productive

This is awesome info. Google Slides is great since everyone can work on the slides and see edits in real time.

@BTX722 Is TURNITIN needed for every assignment ? I'm new to online learning so, I'm kind of curious how does it work ?
Posted on 10/21/18 at 12:18 pm to BTX722
Do you mean we do our introduction using our info on slides and share with the team members to start with and the rest conversation is on the assigned topic as we do in the formal meeting ?

Turnitin is used for individual assignments but not for the team presentations. When you submit your assignment each week, it will automatically feed into Turnitin. Give the system about 5-20mins (yes it varies) then you’ll get a percent score.
No. Say we are on the same team and we divvy up the slides (you get slide 3 and I get slide 4, etc) drop your information into the slide and I will do the same ahead of our zoom meeting.

For those of you who have taken MADM760 with McLaughlin, would you say you can get by with studying her power points only or would you read the Sage text in depth as well? I was thinking of reading the text through once (no highlighting) and then studying her powerpoints. Thoughts?

Read through and highlight text for McLaughlin. Don’t rely on slides only.
Don’t cheat yourself on course content. IMO the most valuable course in the program.

Lin's tests are pure regurgitation with a ton of word for word definitions. I wrote a detailed tip post a few pages back for his class, but I highly recommend taking Gibbs for ISDS, as the feedback for his class has been overwhelmingly positive.

GeauxUF, different Darrat for ISDS 710 from MKT 701. In his bio (ISDS 710), he mentions that he has two older brothers who also teach marketing, so it's possible they're related. They're definitely not the same person though, their pictures are pretty different.
Wish I'd known about taking ISDS 702 in advance, but I'll just have to deal with it. Fortunately, we have a team of about 100 analysts in my office, so I guess I can grab one to explain things if I really need. Haha. I have a small amount of experience with coding in C, but that was literally over a decade ago. I hope this won't be a disaster paired with McLaughlin's MADM 760... that also looks like a pretty heavy workload but after taking MKT 701 and 705 at the same time last term, perhaps it won't really feel as heavy in comparison.

That makes sense, similar to how there are two different Williams.

The course material seems to skew towards an audience who doesn't have programming and statistics experience. If you fall in that category, you'll have a higher workload in the sense that this will all be new for you to learn and process. With that said, if you haven't taken ECON 705 yet, what you learn in ISDS 710 (particularly regression analysis) will be extremely helpful there.

Meeks MADM 760 classmates: make sure you read the rubric for the final synthesis paper carefully. Meeks' definition of "minimum" is a little different than other courses. When he says "minimum of 5 references," he means "minimum of 5 resources to get the lowest grade possible without getting a zero." The actual minimum to get full "A-level" credit for references in the rubric is 11 references.

I forgot about this quote! I'm in Meeks' MADM 760 and Darrat's ISDS 710, so I'm in your boat. Meeks' MADM 760 looks like it is a heavier workload than Williams' MADM 701, but less than James' MKT 701. It was seven weeks of hell taking MKT 701 and ACCT 701 at the same time, but I survived, so maybe this won't be as rough as that was.
I'm interested to see how much Meeks and McLaughlin differ.

Unfortunately Econ 705 was one of my first classes, and it was tough learning regressions along with everything else but hopefully knowing something about regressions now will help me with this course.
From what I understood, MKT 701 is hands down the heaviest load course, but MADM 760 is supposed to also be an extremely heavy load course. I chose McLaughlin based on Lutzhill's posts raving about the course, and the fact that based on LH's descriptions, the workload seems to be very balanced across the 7 weeks, much like MKT 705. Although I'd love to do Meeks after the many, many positive reviews, a group project just wouldn't be fair to me or my group mates, as my time zone is dramatically different from probably 99% of the rest of the students. I haven't seen a single negative post about Meeks here and nearly everyone has him as their favorite professor in the program.

Good advice, thank you

We are in the same boat, same classes. I sketched out my schedule for the week and it seems doable so I’m going to stay positive that I won’t feel too overwhelmed :)

What is a suggested word count or length for the writing assignments (both the mini case discussions and the longer application assignment)? Working on them now and would love to know what is expected or should be aimed for...
Posted on 10/22/18 at 10:39 am to DarthPasta
I'm having trouble with that too, as the rubric and syllabus give absolutely no expectations on word count or length.
Posted on 10/22/18 at 12:01 pm to craigp53
I am reading the Group Project Manual for ISDS 705 with Darban. This doesn't sound like the description of the class I've read about on Tigerdroppings. WOW
Unsure about pairing it up with another class.

Does anyone have any advise for Econ 705 with Shaughnessy in terms of what the video quizzes are like, assessments and so forth and which materials to focus on for each? Also will he announce when he is having a live zoom session? His current syllabus does not appear to have anything regarding that. Thanks!
