LSUS Online MBA Reviews
Quote..."The LSUS MBA program recently moved over to ProctorU, which is one of the worst proctoring I have ever experienced. It's a privacy nightmare and gave me severe anxiety for any test. If I wasn't in the middle of the program, I would not get an MBA from LSUS based solely on this fact.

ProctorU: Made me show them all my medical paperwork next to my desk despite being open book, took control of my mouse and opened up pinned tabs that weren't open, went thru my folder, asked me to show where my phone was and then asked me to prove where it was, reviewed everything on my desk, reviewed everything on my computer. Every time I have to take a test it's the worst day of the week. Don't choose this school." END QUOTE

This is HIGHLY inaccurate and in no way a representation of my experience with ProctorU.

This is likely a bot post or some shite. ProctorU is fine.

I've been a lurker for awhile but felt the need to create an account and post. I've just done my Proctorio Pretest and it was frustrating and was a complete waste of my time. I was with them (i say them because my proctor kept asking for the manager) for over 30 minutes and didn't even get the chance to take my test... I think this system is horrible and I really wish they would go back or change it. I have to reschedule my test again and start all over again. I had to cover any writing even if it was from a packaged box. I had to show what was in front of me, next to me, behind me, all four walls and my desk over and over and over again. Every time I needed to say something to the proctor via chat, the chat box kept closing on its own. I had to type one letter at a time and open it again and again because as I typed, the window would close. I think it was a glitch but it made the whole process even more annoying. They ended up uninstalling the program but was taking a while. Once I was nearing the 45 minute mark of waiting, I gave up and just told the proctor that I'd rather just reschedule. She was apologetic and was overall nice but the entire experience was BS.

I also found this on the LSUS website:

LSU Shreveport has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges since 1975. The University was last reviewed in 2015, and its next reaffirmation is scheduled for 2025.

And sounds like the new proctor service will be an absolute headache....

Are the foundation classes necessary? Anyone who had a degree other than business not take them and still able to do well? At Baylor, they're mandatory. How many hours/week does it really take you for each class? The advisor is saying 15-20, but would like some feedback from actual students.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for contributing.

I just finished my last class and this thread helped me navigate the program.

Solid advice @tank. Very similar to my approach except for the depressed part, lol. I don’t get depressed, I get pissed..... Spend all that time and know the info inside and out, and still struggle because of his games.

The problem with Khan isn’t so much the material – it’s that his interpretation of the material on tests differs from the objective facts he actually teaches in his lectures and the textbook. I truly believe that Khan offers a great class where you can learn a TON about marketing if you spend the time necessary. He does a great job of relating current events and different companies to the material. Now turning that knowledge into a good grade? That’s the tough one. The issue isn’t the material though, it’s his questions on the test. From my experience, he has roughly 60-70% of the questions that are clear. What I mean by this, is that the question is clear, and there is a clear answer if you know the material. The problem occurs with the other 30-40% of the questions. It’s not so much that there are “multiple answers”, it’s that the question can be interpreted multiple ways. Being that he generally has five answer selections, three answers can easily be thrown out. Now, it’s up to you to determine how HE feels the question should be interpreted and select the correct answer. Of course, he will never admit to this and continuously defend how it’s his students fault for misinterpreting the question during his exam reviews (especially the ones where only 20-30% of the class got the question right). However, when a C is the average grade, it’s time for the instructor to look at himself.
