I was thinking the same thing! I really hope not as well.

I think Meeks is one of the best Professors in the program. He's always available. Google this book: "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries, its what MADM 751 is mostly based upon. The subject matter is very interesting and you can use it immediately in the real world. Meeks does put you in a group where you have to do weekly video conferences, but IF you have a great group, it's enjoyable. You also have to weekly writing assignments which are not hard at all. Finally, you have a final paper based on the all of the topics you wrote about in those weekly assignments. He just wants to know that you learned the subject matter and can write about it intelligently. I don't think its too much work, i'm currently taking MADM 751 and MADM 701(with Knotts) while working a full time job. I took Meeks for MADM 760 too, the class setup is almost identical. An "A" is achievable in both of Meeks' classes( MADM 751 & 760). Sorry about any grammatical errors, i'm using my cell phone.

Ambrosio def has a little "Nutty Professor" in him but the guy is EXTREMELY fair. He also makes himself available and he returns emails and replies to comments. Bring any frustration to his attention via the comments component of the class, if hes at fault, he'll own up to it. Like I said he is extremely fair, If he messes up or sees that the class is not doing well, he will offer INSANE chances for extra credit. He does review scores on the mid term and final and if he determines that the vast majority of the class didn't do well, guess what he'll do?… Offer insane extra credit! Good luck with the class!

Thanks for the clarification Jeaux. I was starting to think the MBA gods were spiting me :bow:

I heard mixed reviews for ISDS705 (someone said it was the hardest course they took!)

Whoever this "someone" is obviously didn't know about the ebook "search" function!

Good to know. During the break, I may spend some time researching what kind of management job opportunities, within the casino industry, exists in the DC area.

@Jasons_MBA, I def confirmed this with my graduate coordinator, Danielle Voumard. I specifically asked her about ISDS 715, ISDS 710 & MADM 730. She said they all are acceptable as MBA electives. She said they are in the process of updating their info to reflect this. I specifically needed to know because before you graduate, you have to submit a "request for degree checkout" (done thru Moodle) and you have to state when you intend to graduate. They evaluate and reconcile your classes to see if you are in compliance. Normally moodle will do a preliminary evaluation but the reason I contacted her was because Moodle wasn't recognizing any of these classes. She went on to say that for now, I can use her email response to me stating that those classes are acceptable and before classes start I should be done with the degree checkout which will serve as iron clad assurance. By that time, these new classes should be updated as well. For your own benefit/assurance, I'd suggest contacting your coordinator to confirm as well, just to be on the safe side :usa:

Hey Jeaux Cool, I taking MADM 730, Spring AP2. I really wanted to take ISDS 710 but its only offered Summer AP1 and I want to graduate this Spring.

Just noticed MADM 760 synthesis paper and team canvas grades just posted!

Congrats to all the graduates, thank-you for making his forum a wealth of knowledge, wish you all great success in all that you do. Look forward to also starting next term witheveryone else still working on finishing the degree.

Wish you all a wonderful and safe Holidays! :cheers: :nana:

@BusinessKnight,

I took Acct 701 and Fin 701 at the same time and got A's in both. I don't think its fair to use ISDS 705 as a typical benchmark as that is prob the easiest class in this entire program(especially if you know how to use the search function in a pdf doc). I can assure you that Acct 701 and Fin 701 are NOT easy A's and you will have to put forth a fair amount of work, weekly, if you want to achieve A's in them. I've never taken FIN 710 so I have no idea how much the workload is in that class. Unless FIN 710's workload is at or below the level of ISDS 705, i'd say just take ACCT 701 & Fin 701.
