There is a petition to get them to offer pass or no credit to the online mba students for ap2. Saw it on the Facebook group.

Lol people have no shame

Good lord. They need not remain in the program if they want pass / no credit implemented for an online course.

Well I did it. I finished my last exam and am done with the program. I know many people have left this group and migrated to the FB page, but I just wanted to thank those that came before me and helped steer me away from group work and towards the best professor. Also want to give a quick rundown of my experience and hope it helps someone else.

Semester 1
MKT 701 Kahn. I personally enjoyed it, but I’m in the minority.
Difficulty: 4 out of 5
Time Required: 10-12 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: A

Semester 2
FIN 701-Vines. Difficult to navigate but a good guy and passable class.
Difficulty: 3.5 out of 5
Time Required: 6-8 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: B

Semester 5
ISDS 705- Lin (not Lind). Easiest course in the program. Does Lin really exist?
Difficulty: 2 out of 5
Time Required: 3-4 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: A

FIN 730-Choi- Easy course. Little math. Mostly concepts
Difficulty: 2.5 out of 5
Time Required: 5 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: A

Semester 6

ECON 705-Fawaz- Probably my favorite instructor in the program. Content is fairly difficult bur passable.
Difficulty: 3.5 out of 5
Time Required: 5 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: A

MADM 701- Heller- Time consuming but fairly easy if you’re good at memorizing notes. Tests are open book.
Difficulty: 3.5 out of 5
Time Required: 7 Hrs Per Week
Grade Received: A

Congratulations on completing the program, but please don’t forget the accreditation assignments in module 8.

Yea, that's right. Actually did forget!! Guess I'll set an alarm for Monday. Thanks.

Typically on the Monday after each session ends there is a brief, 5 question survey on Moodle for each class. It covers general topics that you should have learned from the course. Its not for a grade, but for school accreditation purposes.

heads up, I'm about to drop Summer AP2 FIN710 in case anyone wants to snatch up this full class

I’ve never seen anyone else teach it.
I never had Meeks, but he has good reviews.

For Spring 2020 AP2, I just completed:

FIN 720 - Hsieh
MKT 701 - Si Chen

FIN 720 was a challenge but I took him for FIN 710, so I knew what to expect. His textbook is easy to follow and you do have to teach yourself, but the ability to use the text for the exams is clutch. I earned an A in both of his classes.

MKT 701 was a breeze. The 3 case studies and 6 discussion questions padded my grade significantly. I aced the 3 exams by watching her presentations of the power points and studying those. Reading the text is optional, however it is good to do if you have the time.
