re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Finished my last final on Friday to wrap up the program! I doubled up 3 times—ISDS 705/ECON, ISDS 710/MADM 760, and FIN 701/MADM 710. Good luck to you all! Not sure what to do with all this free time!...

From some other feedback from those in my MADM 710 class, she used a very similar syllabus to Williams. I would expect a writing-centric class. MADM 710 has required an assignment weekly, discussion board post/response, and a quiz. Directions for assignments were vague and required a decent amount...

If Phillips’ course load for 701 is anything like 710, it’ll be somewhat heavy. I’ve posted about it so you can look at my post history to see what I mean. ...

Also for clarification I didn’t call the course load super heavy or even the writing load—just that within the class, it is super writing heavy. For example McLaughlin’s MADM 760 I felt was more balanced as the writing assignments were straightforward every week and didn’t require multiple directio...

No, I agree with you. There is also a discussion board post + 25 question quiz each week. My discussion board posts have fallen in the 1000-1500+ range or thereabouts. Just as an example this week there were 4 questions to answer in that post including one that required 2 pro/cons and fully fles...

Now that we are a few weeks in, I just want to tell everyone that MADM 710 with Phillips has a large course load. It is super writing heavy and feels like a lot of busy work. The assignments each week say they have a minimum of 500 words, but all 3 of mine have been over 2000 and I am not a verbos...

In case anyone wants to know how MADM 710 is going—discussion board post and response once a week. Very simple case study responses but lots of questions to answer. Either a “mini project” or case study response each week to write, minimum of 500 words, and a quiz over the readings. Manageable co...

MADM 710 syllabus and outline uploaded to Moodle. Looks pretty straightforward. ...

To be fair, those reviews are 2-4 years old. No telling if it’s the same professor and even if it is, she may have changed. Fingers crossed anyway. ...

Finally got my grade last night at roughly 10:30. Got zero feedback, just a score. Glad I seemed to do it right as I had already turned in my second. ...

Yes—this is nuts to me. So now I’ve turned in 2 case analyses and have to cross my fingers that I did it right the first time since I have no feedback. Ugh....

I paired Gibbs 705 and Econ and didn’t have a problem. I found Gibbs’ workload to be manageable—I put in 1-2 hrs a week, all on Monday, and spent the rest of the time on Econ. I enjoyed the class because he really worked it from an angle of project management and not just straight IT systems. The...

To be fair, I think many who are taking an online path to an MBA are doing so for career advancement and not to start out. If you were looking for an MBA to help jump start your career in an unfamiliar, everyone should hopefully be aware that an in-person degree with LOTS of opportunity for network...

I’m so annoyed. I really feel like people could have thrived under the new setup IF : there were weekly zoom sessions to begin with, the emphasis was on the book and not DC, and the DC assignments had been laid out well to begin with. I cannot believe we are throwing the format out the window half...

Baroqen, that is one reason I like McL’s section too. I’m not sure if they have a minimum word count, but my coach said “longer isn’t better” and I think she means it. My current event papers have been roughly a page and I have gotten full points on them. ...

That is funny. What a mess this is so far...I think the concept of the class could work but he’s going to have to do some tweaking for sure. ...

The weirdest part to me is having us complete the DC assignments on weeks where they aren’t part of the test. Like last week we spent so much time on the apply family but weren’t tested on it at all. I know the concept is that everything builds but I feel horrible for the people who have absolutel...

Thanks Geaux...I treat it as basically a giant Excel problem I need to make work and it seems to be ok in my head so far :). Gotta relate it to what you’re familiar with right? Luckily my statistical background is pretty strong or I think I’d be really floundering. Will definitely message you...
