Thanks Longhorn. Yeah, def seems like slim pickings right now! I’ll keep that pairing in mind for future semesters.

I'm currently registered for ACCT 705 with Huang and MADM 760 with Meeks in AP2. Based on your experience in ACCT 705, do you think this is a good pairing?

Absolutely, if you're comfortable with Excel. I had MADM760 with Meeks last session, and the class is pretty awesome IMO. It does take 10-15+ hours per week (lots of reading, writing and thinking), but ACCT 705 with Huang only takes 3-5 hours max.

That's good to know you also took Meeks and can speak to the workload. I've been nervous about it because of the group work but everyone says he's amazing, so I think I'll stick with him.

His groupwork in MADM760 isn't bad at all. It's mainly just discussion. Meeks gives you a PowerPoint template that each team needs to fill out. If you share that file on OneDrive or Google Drive and have everyone update it with their thoughts before the weekly call, then the call goes quickly and the PowerPoint can easily be edited and turned in.

I just finished my first session. I paired MKT 701 by Khan with MADM 760 by Wyatt.

The two paired very well together as there was some topics that were covered in both of the two classes. Plus, both classes had weekly modules with similar schedules each week.

MKT 701 had 3 writing assignments that each took most of a Saturday to complete. I got an A on all three, so I suspect I they could have been completed in less time that I used. The quizzes were based on lectures, but the lectures were sometimes difficult to decipher - lots of questions posed by the prof. but they weren't always answered.

MADM 760 was very straightforward. Each week the assignments were the same - answer 2 questions; post 2 replies to other people's responses to each of the 2 question; and take a quiz. There also was a great deal of extra credit available in the form of unproctored quizzes.

For the session that starts tomorrow, one of my classes is ISDS 705 with Darban. I just looked through the syllabus and noticed it requires a group project, which seems to require an excessive amount of work including 3 in-person interviews, research, and is expected to result in an 18-25 page paper.

Add to this the fact that since groups were assigned by alphabetically order, it is very likely members are in different time zones and probably have conflicting schedules. This wouldn't be an issue for a small project, but this one seems HUGE.

If anyone here has gone through this class, I would love to hear about your experience - especially in regards to the group project. I am afraid I may end up dropping the class, and, since it doesn't look like there are any opening in other classes, dropping it put me behind my expected completion date of the MBA program.

How much of his weekly tests come from the chapters? Can a combination of the videos lectures with vocabulary guides substitute? Too many management classes are centered around stale textbooks.

I've been through ISDS705 with Lind, which sounds like it's similar. Basically, if anyone in your group owns their own company, no matter how small, USE THAT COMPANY!!! If no one owns a company, then find a VERY CLOSE and UNDERSTANDING friend of someone in your group. It's painful, but you have to get through it. DO NOT just go knocking on doors to ask random people if you can interview them; that is guaranteed to fail.

ACCT 701 just opened up with Ambrosio.

MADM 760 Wyatt and ACCT 701 Ambrosio - Do these pair well? I 've read great reviews on both professors.

Hello, I have not taken ACCT 701, but I think Wyatt's class is pairable if you can remember concepts fast for Wyatt's weekly exams. He has discussions and exams every week. The exams are pretty doable if you read and study you should do well (know the terms and concepts), and the discussions just put some effort into it and you should be fine. Maybe someone else can give more insight into the other course or whether they have actually paired it or not. He also gives PowerPoints that serves as a great overview and also extra credit!

Hi there, has anyone taken MADM 725 (Casino Management) with Jim O'Donnell. He has a lot of things to read and study, so I am not sure what to focus on for the exam: the chapter, extra article, and the lengthy video.

Does he ask detailed questions on his exams?

Thank you in advance!

Read and follow his Grading Rubrik, which is basically "write a lot, then write some more, and make sure that what you're writing is directly relevant to the topics covered in class". That's really it. If you don't have any business experience yourself, the class will likely be pretty rough.

I paired Wyatt MADM 760 with Khan's MKT 701 last session and it was a good match.

I too work full time and didn't have a problem fitting it into my schedule. Although... Khan's writing assignments lead me to forfeit a couple of Saturdays. There are 3. The first two each took about a full Saturday. The 3rd took a few hours. The grading was pretty easy, so in hindsight I could have spent less time and still got A's on the writing assignments.

I was enrolled in Darban's ISDS 705 this session, and then I saw the details of the massive group project he requires. There is no way I could fit that into my schedule, so I replaced it with another class

I am currently enrolled in ACCT701 Ambrosio and MADM720 Williams. I got a little behind this week as my work schedule has been very demanding. Are these classes pairable?
