Thanks so much for the info. I appreciate it more than you know. Very new to the program, the academic setting and online learning, so the insight sure helps.
Also taking ACCT soon. Do you know anything about Prof. Huang's class? Structure, course setup, anything?

I haven't taken him, if it's fin acct, try to Fabio Ambrosio, hands down, one of the best profs I've had here, NO memorizing, he just wants you to learn. Open book quizzes.
Not much to worry about even if you get a bad instructor, the material is usually sufficient to self learn. The best thing to do is take one week at a time, don't look ahead and don't look back. Some weeks will be easy and some will be harder. There's no such thing as honors levels in graduate work, you just need to maintain a 3.0 GPA.
Moodle is easy to navigate and you'll get used to it. Check your email daily and pay close attention to deadlines. Also if you get in a pinch, the MBA coordinator, which is now Daria Koksal can help out, override registration deadlines etc., if needed.
Don't ever miss a quiz deadline! I missed the final exam for acct 701 which I had been averaging an A in, missing the final dropped my grade to a D. Since it was my first class, the 2.0 GPA earned me a suspension from the program.
Also, don't be worried about taking classes in any order, none of them are prerequisites for another.
The program is what it is, the staff is very friendly if busy and all the other students are in the same boat as you, working, studying part-time, family obligations etc. We're all in it together.
If I can ever help, my email is richardsd27@lsus.edu
Good luck!

Which is better LSUS MBA or WGU MBA?
Both are online, but I'll save about $4,000 taking the WGU route. They'll both take about the same amount of time.

WGU?
ETA
Both are cheap MBAs. Not sure it matters.

Here's a link to the WGU program:

It looks like WGU requires 24 months and is about $16,000. LSUS can be finished in less than a year if you double up every session and the total cost is about $12,000. I am finishing up my LSUS program tomorrow after 15 months (I had to skip a session and I didn't double up every time), and I would highly recommend it because it's faster and less expensive, while still fully accredited.

WGU doesn't have the most respected AACSB accreditation. It also doesn't have the same image and status of the LSU system. I looked into WGU as well before choosing LSUS. They can't compete on image/respect and accreditation.

Completed Fin 730 with Choi... easy A. Weekly discussions and 2 case study papers are automatic 100% grades if you turn it in on time, meet minimum words, and its coherent. Most difficult thing is that the exams cover 2 weeks of material but you can do well by just reading through the power point slides and practice problems (many questions are reused).

In for Neal Johnson for ECON 705 ap1
Any input, tips, advice, suggestions would be appreciated. Not a whole lot of info out there on him or his class.

I recently finished MADM 760 with Wyatt. This class is fairly straight forward. Each week there are assigned chapters of reading. You need to post answers to two discussion questions (min 200 words each) and respond to two classmates on each of the two questions (min 100 words each). In essence, you are responsible for a minimum of 800 words a week in discussion questions and responses. There are quizzes at the end of each module of 50 points each that are formatted True/False and Multiple choice.
The discussion questions and responses appear to be graded at 100% if you meet the word count.
If you read the text and powerpoints for each of the chapters, you should do relatively well on tests.
There were also some extra credit quizzes as well that were pretty easy if you read and understood the material.
I received an A. I could have easily paired this class if necessary.

For Spring, I am registered for 2 classes in AP1 and also 2 classes in AP2. That means my tuition owed is about $5K, all of which is due 1/6.
However, the calendar on the LSUS website seems to indicate that the tuition for AP2 isn't due until March.
LINK
Anyone know how to pay just for the AP1 classes in January - without dropping the classes I scheduled for AP2?
I'm a little worried layoffs are coming at my job, and, if they do, that $2.5K tuition may need to be reallocated to another expense in the family budget.

I really enjoyed Wyatt 760, paired his class. I so wished he was also teaching MADM 701.

Aaaaand I'm done. I finished my MBA in 15 months, and I'm happy I did it. I actually learned more than I thought I would (especially in Meeks' classes) and enjoyed parts of it. I wish everyone the best of luck in the program and all future endeavors.

Dave, thank you so much for taking the time to write this thorough, helpful response. Truly. It helped calm a lot of the fears I have had with an online program and having been out of the educational setting for a while now– those fears were big.
I am on the general MBA track, so I have a little flexibility on the courses. Do you know of any interesting, relatively simple elective courses that can be paired with heavy load classes (i.e. ECON701, MKT701)? I have never taken two courses together in a session, so I do not know of the workload.
Thanks again for your help!

How exciting! Congratulations on finishing the program and earning your MBA! Best of luck in your future endeavors.

I just finished ACCT 701 with Dr. Kahn. The class included a weekly practice exam (you have 3 attempts to earn a score of 80% or better), then a regular weekly exam and a Final exam the last week. You are allowed 1 page of notes for each exam. There were also a couple of extra credit opportunities.
I don't have an accounting background, but I was able to get an 'A' in the class pretty easily. The lectures and practice exams were great preparation for the text. It wasn't an extreme amount of work, but I still learned a lot.

If you HAVE to take two classes -
I MIGHT consider pairing MADM 760 by Sammy Wyatt with another class.
I MIGHT consider ACT 701 with Fabio Ambrosio with another class.
I would only consider this because based upon the workload AND the teacher's ability, a 2-class workload might work.
The other really involved teacher is Tim Shaughnessy in ECON 705, because Dr. Tim is so involved (2 zooms a week) and the homework assignment (in Excel) is able to be used in the weekly quiz, it might be manageable.
For the record, I haven't attempted pairing any classes.

Hi all! I only have two classes left (MADM 701 & MADM 760) in the program. I wanted to get some insights from people who have taken MADM 701 with Kungu. Wanted to get an idea of the class structure, if there are discussion boards, papers (how long they are), exams (weekly or every other week) and your personal opinion on whether you would recommend taking the class with him or to take it with another professor. Thank you all and be safe.

SO helpful! Thank you so much for the insight. I have not paired two courses together myself either. That being said, I'm thinking of actually pairing two elective courses as my advisor said it would be the only way I could finish on the timeline that I have set out. I am on the general MBA track, so there are many choices and it seems to be flexible. Any electives that you would recommend?
I am jotting down those course and professor recommendations for the ones you have mentioned, though. Thank you again for the insight! It has been so incredibly helpful.
