re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Sactown,

Glad you made the trip and enjoyed the experience. I flew in with my wife and kids from SoCal last year and definitely felt it was a worthwhile trip. My teenage daughters enjoyed seeing their dad march.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being worst). How bad is Meeks?

Let's put our big brains to use to solve this puzzle.

Case Study: An MBA student at LSUS has 7 classes left. Said student would like to "double-up" one term with 2 "easy" classes. Out of the following remaining courses, which would be best to pair and with what professors?

MKT 701
MADM 715
MADM 701
MADM 751
ECON 705
ISDS 705
FIN 701

Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience or info on MADM 715 and MADM 751, so I'm not much help there.

MADM751 w. Meeks is practically identical to how he runs MADM760. I think Meeks is one of the better teachers, an easy grader, and I wouldn't hesitate to pair this class. However, it is a somewhat writing centric class and a fair number of people last session seemed to think his class was a slog. I would pair this class with no issues.

MADM715 w. Wren isn't that bad of a course, but if you have a hard time with reading a large amount of information, learning the important parts, and getting tested on it, you won't like this class. There's a 10 minute audio/visual presentation (recorded voice embedded in powerpoint slides) as the primary project in the class. There were a large number of complaints in the session I took this class. A lot of this was around the fact that she references material across the internet and there is duplication of data to wade through. I wouldn't pair it.

I think Wren is a lot like Dr. James in that she has extremely high expectations of what MBA caliber work is all about and doesn't cut a lot of slack to those unwilling to step up. I personally didn't mind the information overload, but it's not in a polished and tidy book, so if you're not used to this sort of learning I can see the shock and dismay over this class.

She is a lawyer and her responses and attitude fit the mold. This really rubbed a large number of my fellow students the wrong way. I get it, but if you've worked with legal people before, she's completely cut from the same cloth.

TL:DR - No, you probably don't want to pair MADM715, but if you do make sure it's an easier class without a lot of deliverables.

How bad was accounting

@NSAtoMBA...wish I had seen this sooner! I hadn't heard of the German Christmas market here in Atlanta. I would have loved to attend. My German sister-in-law has helped form my appreciation of all things German! Hope you had a great visit to our city!

free version of grammarly is perfectly fine. Ive had great luck with it.

Graduates,

I'm one class away from Graduation, being done in March. I currently sit on a 3.77 GPA (got 2 Bs along the way, both missed by .5 points to a 90.. talk about )
I don't see me doing worst with a single class left, which will put me at 3.8GPA by the end.
Those that were invited to BGS and SIE, did any of you get below a 4.0, and were you guys invited automatically or had to send emails to the respective chairs to each/any of the honor societies?
Want to see what I can do to be part of them if I can.

Thank you!

I graduated Dec 2015 with a 3.8 and was automatically invited to BGS in Mar 2016. I received email invite from BGS and (the same day) a separate email from LSU-S faculty advisor with nomination letter and form of intent to attend ceremony. Make sure you save your personal email address in your LSU-S email settings.
