Reviews of professor Erin McLaughlin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course a test every other week (covering 4 chapters from the textbook) that involved questions requiring you to actually know the material covered, weekly discussion boards, and a weekly current event writing assignment (my favorite part of the course). It was a tough class but I learned a lot. Highly recommend Dr. McLaughlin.

I ended up making a B in this class solely because of my performance on the exams. There were a total of 4 exams and each one was harder than it needed to be. I read the required textbook chapters and studied thoroughly, but the true/false portions were very subjective. Besides the exams, expect weekly discussion posts and current event assignments

Tests are tricky and often don't seem to align with topics covered.  She curves because of low test scores but it's frustrating. I found the textbook she uses difficult to read.  There is also a lot of writing required and assignments are due throughout the week. Be prepared to dedicate multiple days a week to this course.

Self-taught course Course material: PPTs and readings. DBs and currentevent paper due each week. Proctored exams were every other week, but once we had it back to back. Its tough when theres 3-4 chapters of info you have to remember. SO much reading and LOTS of studying for exams. Very hard work got me an A. Grading is done by the academic coach.

Self taught class. Lots of reading, a few exams, and discussion boards and current event writing weekly.

Excellent professor. Be sure to use your citations when you're doing current events and class discussions. Chat with your assigned TA, because they will communicate with you.

Honestly one of the best classes I've taken at LSUS. The requirements for all the assignments were clearly laid out, the feedback was really helpful every time, and the grades were always fair. You do need to study, but all the information is on the powerpoints, just study them well, follow directions and turn things in on time. Highly Recommend!

This is an online MBA program - for those seeking constant communication with a professor, maybe go for an in-person program. About 150 pages of reading every 2 weeks with an exam every 2 weeks. A current event paper due each week with a clear grading rubric. Every non-test week, a mini case discussion board due with 2 responses to peers. Very Fair

This by far is the worst class I have taken as LSUS. Up until this class I had an A avg. The TA was terrible and very inconsistent in grading. Tests are very tricky. Discussions, papers, reading, all due weekly and 4 tests total. Class was made to be much harder than should be. Spent at least 20 hrs a week. I learned nothing in this class.
