Looking for info on FIN 701 with Choi as well. Also ECON 705 With Shaughnessy? Any info is appreciated

I'm really hoping they add more sections/teachers for these core classes. Im altering my schedule just to get Heller over Williams due to the feedback.

I am also going with Choi in FIN so lets say a prayer.

I can tell you about the alternatives:

Vines for FIN 701 is one of my favorite instructors in the program. Highly recommended. I haven't heard much about Choi.

White for ECON 705 does not allow the use of Excel on exams and requires every formula to be completely memorized, so it is recommended to steer clear her of in favor of Shaughnessy.

Currently taking Shaughnessy--his lectures are worthwhile and the class is not too difficult. Quizzes, self-assignment, and assignment each week are all open book and appear to make up the whole course. I would definitely recommend his course.

Lots of comments on this forum suggesting to take Darrat over James for marketing. MKT 701 is offered by both Aadel Darrat and Mohamad Darrat in spring 2019. Does anyone have insight on which professor has previously taught the course and/or how they compare? Thanks in advance

There are some TERRIBLE things about Darrats mktg class on here.
James may be the lesser of 2 evils from what i can gather.

I think they are talking about the Mohammed version.

Aadel Darrat currently teaches it on a regular basis. Mohammad Darrat teaches ISDS 710 so I wouldn't advise him, as it's a complete unknown. A Darrat doesn't have a particularly difficult class, but I can't say I highly recommend it. There's a lot of writing, but it doesn't feel directly tied to the material and it is mostly concentrated in the middle weeks. The class itself is very poorly paced, so expect weeks 3, 4, and 5 to be at least 2-3 times the work of the other weeks. When I took it, there were 2 discussion forums and one reply also every week, 1 discussion forum and reply on weeks 3, 4, and 5 where you will also have case analyses due. Tests on weeks 3, 5, and 7 on a relatively large amount of material.

I did well in the class. I believe I made a good choice only because the alternatives actually appear to be worse(ie James). From what I've read in these forums, there does not appear to be a "good" choice for MKT 701. Don't hope to get the cream of the crop, the best you can hope for is the cream of the crap.


A few small adjustments would greatly improve the class. No discussion forums on weeks with case analyses. No tests on weeks with case analyses. Discussion forums tied to the actual material of the week. Maybe you'll be lucky and he's changed it up.

Meeks finished grading for the first group assignment. That didn't take long! My team pulled out full points. It sounds like quite a few groups are having trouble using Zoom?

We did a test run prior and our leader for the week sent us all a copy prior to posting it. This seems to have helped us make sure we followed his guidelines.

Like what was said before, hes great professor and lenient grader. We just have to put in the work and think critically.

New rotation

see if that link works. If not, log into moodle, go to MBA resource center, scroll down and you will find it.

Good morning,
Trying to plan out Spring. I am in my first class of the program: HCAD750 with Gherfal.

I don't see anything with Gibbs or Lin in AP2.
Currently, I am looking for guidance with the following,
AP1
ECON 705 with Shaughnessy
FIN 701 with Vines
ISDS 702 with Koksal
ISDS 705 with Lin

AP2
FIN 701 with Choi

I work full-time and have a family; so, I think one class might be my pace.

Many thank yous in advance for direction on order of classes and teacher.
