Academics Survey |
| MBA Electronic Business |
UOP's academic programs was little more challenging than I expected. I
would venture to say that it was a bit more challenging than earning my
MA at the University of Illinois. The first class I took was an
introductory to the MBA program. It was a rigorous three week, one-
credit course. I learned about my learning style, management style,
group dynamics, and company culture. It defenitely prepared me for the
rest of the MBA Electronic Business curriculum. The remainder of the
course was jam packed as well. Typically, Wednesday was the beginning
of the week. On Wednesday, everyone logged onto the classroom
introducting themselves with a short bio. Day 2 people started forming
groups. The professor/facilitator posted group and individual
assignments and three to four questions for the class to make comments.
A student had to respond or make comments five out of the seven days
class week. Comments had to be at least 300 words. Comments would be
on subjects such as technology, information found on the web or how the
readings related to the workplace.
All assignments were due on Tuesday night (12 a.m.) depending on what
time zone you lived. Individual papers were required to be between 750 -
1050 words and group papers had to be between 1050 - 2000 words. Of
all the things I learned at UOP, working as a team has to be the most
valuable skill I learned. Grading was on a five point scale:
95- 100 A
90- 94 A-
85 - 89 B
80 - 84 B-
75 - 79 C
70 - 74 C-
Since I was in the MBA program, classes were considerably small (usually
no more than 12 people), classes were easy to enroll in.
At UOP, all professors were working in the fields or have worked or
owned businesses in the fields they were teaching. That helped
immensely because they had real world advice or comments that helped me
apply to my work and business situation.
Professors, for the most part, were easy to reach, and responded quickly
to any questions. They also provided home and work phone numbers and
email.
