Does anyone know when they send Beta Gamma Sigma invites out? How much of the program needs to be completed before they do, and what's the estimated GPA requirement?
Most of, if not all of this information was listed in Moodle when I was in the program.

Thank you!

not getting all the ProctorU complaints. It worked fine for me... all the proctors I had were pretty chill , only once did they someone ask to look under my desk. Most annoying thing a ProctorU asked was just to unplug my printer which was not even in arms reach. And the closest thing to the hiccup I had was when my Proctor started talking to me giving the intro canned speech in the middle of the test thinking I was a new test taker but that was quickly settled in 30 seconds.

ProctorU got better for me as the semester went on. LSUS did a piss poor job of preparing students what to expect (clean desk, remote takeover, etc.) and once we all adjusted it seemed to get a lot better. Like Kiki mentioned, I try to avoid Sundays nights because it feels like PU is overwhelmed and relying on temporary assistance to get through the crush of students. Aside from my 1st interaction, the strangest thing I had happen was a Proctor forget to mute his microphone and listened to him breathe through an entire test.

Does anyone other than Wren ever teach MADM715?

Also who is best for FIN 701 - Vines, Kendall, Choi.
I see Kim but can not find anything on him/her.

I signed up for Vines but wasn’t a fan of his seemingly subjective grading and self-written textbook so I dropped and switched to Choi. I was very happy with Choi’s course.

I think it depends on your learning style. If you’re a Zoom-session fan or need video content, Choi is not your guy (Vines provides these). If you’re a terrible test taker, Choi is your guy. You can do very poorly on his exams but still do very well in his class thanks to some written (500 word) assignments.

Following up with my FIN 701 Kendall review -- class was entirely PowerPoint presentations, review questions and answers, a weekly 15 item proctored quiz of concepts and equations (you can use 1/2 sheet paper for formulas) and a 15% of your grade 30 question (VERY easy) final. 5 total discussion posts or 250 word papers, graded VERY liberally -- didn't miss a point on these and ultimately got me the A.

I didn't care for the "teach-yourself" method in this class, although the practice questions lined up perfectly with tests making the class at least palatable, yet still painful. I'd look for better options, but know that Kendall is an OK option.

Does anyone have any input on how many hours per week ISDS 705 is with Gibbs?

How many hours a week would you say you put in for this class? I start on Monday and have it doubled up - and I work FT - I’m a bit nervous

SImilar situation here. I work fulltime and take two classes at a time. Estimate that the review of the course material was about 4 hours, the sample problems are another 2-4, and at least for the 1st few modules, spend another 30m-1h getting to know the calculator. If you cannot work all the problems in the sample without leaning on the answer guide, you're gonna have a bad time on the weekly quiz.

TL:DR 8 - 10 hours per week for an A.

In addition to my prior request, does anyone have the syllabus for BADM 790 (DV)? I know it’s the first time offered in 2019 Fall AP2 but worth a shot asking.

Thanks.
