ISDS 725 walked through some exercises in R but it was definitely more of "here is what R can do" kind of lessons than one having to learn/know it well.
I know alot of people who are complaining about the construct and instruction of that course, but did you find it valuable as learning something you may not otherwise have learned or furthered your knowledge base? I am currently registered for it but with the bad press on it, having second thoughts.

Well put. I know there are alot of touts out there that tell you to memorize all the areas, each input and output and all of those fine details. It may be useful in helping to discern some of the scenarios, but what I find is that is more beneficial to those without "real" PM experience. Lots of people massage their qualifications to make things count for experience, but if you truly been doing project management work, especially if it was modeled or followed some of the same format that PMBOK puts out, it won't be too hard. I recommend read through the book once or so to see what they got in there, watch some free videos on you tube, take in a study guide or two and take lots of practice tests. The practice will most likely be completely different, but will help the confidence the higher you score.
I was able to pass my first time with all above targets as well. Good luck.

Agree on Gibbs. He likes to get you thinking and focused on your career with his little projects which is fine. Just a note for those that have not taken him, if you have a CAPM or PMP cert from PMI you basically skip half the class. You can also get out of the Excel assignments if you have the Microsoft Excel cert. Not sure if other professors are the same way. Having had the PMP cert saved me alot of time and made for an easy double.

Just a reminder as new people join tiger droppings and want to know about professors, files, etc. There is a pretty good facebook group to join if you have not already. Just search LSUS MBA Program. Has a bunch of syllabi in the files and professor reviews and other support about doubling certain courses.

Very well put Kiki. I agree and honking about your examples on material it makes alot of sense. I think I just built it up bigger in my mind and thought I would have some profound moment each course versus a continued grind on the topics to ensure understanding.

I think that is what is vexing. This does not feel like Masters level material. Which adds to my first post. I thought there would be more rigor and kind of expect that it would be at other schools, but I have not taken masters classes anywhere else though, so hopefully someone else with experience can inform us.

The whole post was well said John and I agree as well. I think this last sentence is what got me questioning this endeavor. While I know this won't open doors like a well named b school, I was thinking maybe at least a window? In this case I am hoping for more than internal movement and maybe some opps. outside to weigh options. But maybe not and maybe it is unfair to expect that as well....

True and I guess I should have understood that most MBA programs assume limited business background. Don't get me wrong, being refreshed on the topics and having another opportunity to master them is great, coupled with the cost there is some value. I think my expectations going in were just a little higher, so that could be on me. Just wondering how others felt...or if any past graduates are on here how they feel post graduation.

Is it bad that I haven't found this MBA as challenging as I expected? How valuable is this degree going to be going forward? Any chance of getting into company MBA development programs?
So far I have taken Fin 701, Econ 705 ISDS 705 and MADM 725...yes I can't expect much out of this latest one...was just interested in casino industry. It's just most of this content is repeat from under grad....very little development.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?
