I'm excited for this session to start, because it will be my last. I have completed 9 classes and this will be my tenth and final. It will have taken me about one year to complete it

Overall, I am please with the program. It is exactly what I expected when I signed up for the program. For the price, it was great!

I just wanted to give a big thank you for everyone that has contributed to this thread. The information in it was instrumental for me deciding to enroll at LSUS and also in deciding which classes/professors to take.

Hey guys

I'm half way through the MBA program for General Business. I just have ACCT 701 and FIN 701 left for the core and then its time to start registering for the 3 elective courses.

Any recommendations for best professors for acct and fin 701?

Also any recommendations for the easiest electives to take?

I had Vines for Fin 701. There is no text book, just about 7-8 pages of single spaced notes/text that Prof Vines prepared. The only work due is 4 test - one for each of the four modules. It took a minute to get used to reading his notes, but he was very helpful and reachable. He'd respond to questions posted in the discussion forum AND before every test opened, he hosted a zoom call that would last as long as people had questions. I highly recommend his class, with the warning that his notes/texts are a bit tricky to get used to at first.

It's amazing that this thread is still rocking...I have had my MBA for over 5 years now and I started this thread, just looking for any experiences with the school.

Great program, BTW.

Thank you for starting this thread. It played a large role in my decision to enroll in the program. I'm half way to completing the program and I continue to be very happy and satisfied with the program.

What's going on with Moodle this session? For this whole week, it has been very slow for me. I've logged on from 3 different (high speed) internet connection, and always found Moodle to be super slow.

starting my very last class of this program... ISDS 730 Lean Transformation with Darrat. He's highly rated on ratemyprofessors but just realized no reviews for ISDS730. Anyone take him for this course?

I am in the same class and came here with the same question. Based on the syllabus, it seems like this is going to be a challenging and interesting class.

I have 5 classes completed and taking two now, so I am hoping to complete the program in August.

Go back a few pages to find a post with a link to a google doc filled with info about the profs and the classes they teach

I'm currently in Dr. Phillips MADM 701 class. Overall, it is pretty straightforward. The tests and writing assignments align well with the readings and professor review videos, and there aren't any surprised in regard to what is being asked.

However, I have having one big challenge with the writing assignments. For what are relatively easy writing assignments (i.e. subjects align with weekly reading and they aren't required to be overly long), the number and quality of sources (i.e. peer reviewed articles, etc.) seem excessive.
Everything could easily be explained by what is in the reading but several outside (and original source) sources are required.

I am spending more time looking for sources than I am actually spending on writing up the answers.

Does anyone have an tips for easily and quickly being able to find. sources that meet her standards?

Hello.. Someone please advise on course pairing. I am enrolled in MADM 760 with Wyatt and trying to pick another course.

Available options are:

ECON 705 - Shaughnessy
MKT 705 - Karen James & Imran Khan
ISDS 705 - Darban & Sadhya Vikram

Working full time so I need something that i can balance the workload with full time job.

Thanks in Advance!!

I paired Wyatt MADM 760 with Khan's MKT 701 last session and it was a good match.

I too work full time and didn't have a problem fitting it into my schedule. Although... Khan's writing assignments lead me to forfeit a couple of Saturdays. There are 3. The first two each took about a full Saturday. The 3rd took a few hours. The grading was pretty easy, so in hindsight I could have spent less time and still got A's on the writing assignments.

I was enrolled in Darban's ISDS 705 this session, and then I saw the details of the massive group project he requires. There is no way I could fit that into my schedule, so I replaced it with another class

I just finished my first session. I paired MKT 701 by Khan with MADM 760 by Wyatt.

The two paired very well together as there was some topics that were covered in both of the two classes. Plus, both classes had weekly modules with similar schedules each week.

MKT 701 had 3 writing assignments that each took most of a Saturday to complete. I got an A on all three, so I suspect I they could have been completed in less time that I used. The quizzes were based on lectures, but the lectures were sometimes difficult to decipher - lots of questions posed by the prof. but they weren't always answered.

MADM 760 was very straightforward. Each week the assignments were the same - answer 2 questions; post 2 replies to other people's responses to each of the 2 question; and take a quiz. There also was a great deal of extra credit available in the form of unproctored quizzes.
