Hello All,

looking at a late signup for Spring AP2 and the only thing I can take is ECON 705 with Dr. Mary White, or MADM 760 with Dr. Nathan Heller.

Any comments on either of these? My first term and sure wanted a good start...

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Very new to this...I am currently looking at an option of two different courses for Spring AP2 (my first term):

ECON 705
ISDS 705

Where can I see a list of the courses being offered and instructors?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies, and I want to be clear.
Yes, it is only one time in the entire 7 week period when I would not be available for the 4 days and this occurs April 12-15th.

I ask the question because it is a concern to me, but hate to miss the entire term just because of this one block.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks for the advice - I very much appreciate it.
Now, here is one of the things that concerns me about the 7 weeks sessions...

There is a 4 day period (Thursday - Sunday) about 2/3 of the way through where we do a company retreat, and it would be very close to impossible to do any coursework.
In fact, many times we purposely go off places where we have a chance to brainstorm and roundtable ideas without outside distractions.
I am very concerned about reaching a point during the term where I have difficulty preparing or submitting a required assignment on a Saturday.

Do the professors have any leeway to work with you in circumstances like this?

Thoughts?

Hello Everyone,

I have read a lot of this great forum and feeling very good about my decision to start this program. Now, I need a bit of advice based on what will be offered Spring AP2.
I have been out of school for 20 years, and have the time to devote to this daily, but will do only 1 class per term initially.

The available courses for me are:
ECON 705
ISDS 705
MADM 760

I am an Electrical Engineer, but have served as CIO and manager of accounting for 20 years of a private New York company. I understand finance and accounting, as well as computing, social networks etc.

Where should I start with the program to get back into it, and why? Any one of these 3 would probably work out, but maybe something that gets me used to the online program and test taking?

Thanks so much -
