Hey guys

I'm half way through the MBA program for General Business. I just have ACCT 701 and FIN 701 left for the core and then its time to start registering for the 3 elective courses.

Any recommendations for best professors for acct and fin 701?

Also any recommendations for the easiest electives to take?

I had Vines for Fin 701. There is no text book, just about 7-8 pages of single spaced notes/text that Prof Vines prepared. The only work due is 4 test - one for each of the four modules. It took a minute to get used to reading his notes, but he was very helpful and reachable. He'd respond to questions posted in the discussion forum AND before every test opened, he hosted a zoom call that would last as long as people had questions. I highly recommend his class, with the warning that his notes/texts are a bit tricky to get used to at first.

Thank you so much for your response. Does he give example problems of what will be on the exam? Or perhaps, anything like a study guide or practice assessment?

I have read that his exams are open-ended and does give partial credit, which makes me feel a little better. I have no finance background whatsoever, so I'm nervous!

Thanks again for your response and for the insight into his class– it is a huge help!

Does anyone know if you can get a C in a non-Concentration course (ie: the general courses they make you take) and still graduate? I had some serious difficulties here this AP. This is my final course and I have done well in all my others (Mostly A’s with scattered B’s) My wife & I had a baby to start the AP, so the first two-three weeks of MADM class my grade suffered because of it. I have been able to recover but am worried that I will be denied the ability to graduate if I finish with a C. I am teetering right at 78.5% so this is going to be a photo finish. Just wondering if I should stress unnecessarily or not.

Great, thank you!

Hello Everyone!

Very excited to start the MBA program this fall.

For AP1 I am planning on paring MBA 775 - Hosp.& Casino MKT with MBA 701 - ECON Anlys-Mgt. The professors are Kim and Fawaz respectively. What are your opinions of these two courses with these professors? Is it doable to achieve an A in both while having a full time job.

For Fall AP2, I'm thinking Casino & Resort Management with O'Donnel pared with Management Information Systems with Lin.

Really looking forward to your advice!

Thank you! Any thoughts on Kim and O'Donnel?

Im referring to the Hosp.& Casino MKT :)

and with today I completed my last class for this program with all As. So glad to be done.

thanks, I always assumed it was some loser who somehow flunked out the program despite it being pretty easy and now has nothing better to do than downvote every response

final verdict to ISDS 730 with either Aadel or Loughrin is super easy + low workload A.
There are some annoyances such as having to work in teams and many assignments being very vague with no rubric but its all graded very leniently. You can get through each week's workload in about 3 hours if you and your team are quick.
There is a cumulative final but you probably need like 0-50% on it to secure your A. I scored a 98/105 with literally 10 minutes of review.
