[quote]ISDS 710 (Darrat, Data Analytics concentration, and general elective):
Also about to start this course on Data Analytics. Read/Math focused template with a final project. Apparently, the entire format and content of the course changed this term (Fall AP2), as it focuses on statistical model...

[quote]Econ with Shaughnessy is a great class. That's not to say it's an EASY class, as it highly depends on your math skills, and there is a bit of calculus involved. [/quote]
The calculus involved is extremely minimal. In fact, I'll provide it right here as a quick tutorial to anyone concerned...

Case Studies - 3 x 50 pts

Total - 500 pts, 450+pts = A
The case studies were about 3.5 pages each, plus references. Averaged 49/50 on those with that LoE.

Just finished the FIN701 exam tonight. Completed a couple of final discussion question responses in MKT701.
I'm officially done and unless something went REALLY REALLY wrong on the FIN701 exam, completed with a 4.0 and BGS in 12 months.
It's hard to believe it's over, but damn does it feel go...

My undergrad wasn't in business, so I'm a little concerned about the basics like terminology.
I'm currently a manager dealing with P&L and such with an undergrad in ChE. Does anyone think it's worth it? A waste o...

Second that. The text is quick and easy to read, everything is in weekly videos, and it's a lot more about putting in the work to do the writing and group work than any pre-reading outside "Playing...

Well, I YOLO'd the exam, and I'm 1 point under an A for the class (unless he really does give the 2 pts he said he would after the fact), but I did bomb the exam. So, I'll be doing the discussion question, but I think I can get by with a less than stellar effort to pick up a single point.

Same boat w/ MKT 701. I'm having a really really hard time reading the text before taking the exam. I may just go through the PPTs tonight, then give the exam a shot. If I do well enough, I can skip the last discussion question, because I really don't want to watch that whole video. I've seen it...

The on-campus representative for BGS seems to be Prof M. Darrat. I would reach out to him if you were summer session and did not see an invite. He was the one that issued the LSUS email to notify of the invitation.

I got 12 percentage points higher on the second test also in MKT 701. I have to say I got an awesome grader this term in MKT. In fact, I submitted my Case Study 3 mid-day on Sunday, had a grade back by evening, before the turn-in deadline even hit!
Finished FIN701 Exam 3, was the easiest one so...

Just be glad you are not up to your eyeballs in K. James MKT701 project. I'm hating Darrat's MKT701 class, but it seems like the better of two evils. I still have to write my last case study, but that is what I will be doing for the next 3-4 hours. I found Exam 2 to be a bit better than Exam 1, b...

I did the specialization, not the concentration.
