Reviews of professor Mike Loughrin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Stay away from this course if you are a working professional. Modules will require 15+ hours each week to complete and will be presented using childish lectures and novice PowerPoints. Assignments will be graded without access to a grading rubric or expectations before submission. Requested feedback will be snarky and unhelpful.

Mike is a quack. Course consisted of outdated Youtube videos, 'professional' services, (that he asks you to shell out $95 on, to line his own pockets), and zero rubrics. He grades harshly, while failing to provide any rubrics for students to base their work upon. LSUS should dismiss him sooner rather than later. Take this course with anyone else!!!

Don't take it unless you are interested in Six Sigma. I The group project, if you have a good group, is not terrible. Quizes are 30 questions in 30 minutes. PAY ATTENTION TO ASSIGNMENT FEEDBACK!! Every assignment builds off the previous one. Take good notes on all the reading and videos and you will be ok.

This class is not a basic introduction to Tableau, it is an entire semester's worth of software education crammed into 6 weeks, turning the class into a chore instead of a learning opportunity. Its 5+ hours of work every week for an MBA program where the average class takes less than 2 hours. Avoid unless school is your only job.

This elective class was the most busy work in the program. He makes you pay for a program he OWNS, has NO rubrics whatsoever yet grades so harshly if you don't "read his mind". The worst class ever. You don't know what grade you'll receive until after finals, last week leaving no time to study due to so much work. PASS. The good reviews are LIES.

This is a great class and he's a great instructor. I feel he genuinely cares and wants you to understand the material and be successful. Fair grader. Lots of assignments = lots of opportunities to earn points to keep a good grade. Very relatable and approachable. The class is a lot of work but I would still definitely recommend the course and him.
