I have been away for a while since I got my degree, but I have been keeping tabs on this thread. It's good to see that even though I may have started this particular thread, others have built on it and are helping each other succeed. Certainly some of the assignments have changed since I took the class... so it's great that the torch has been passed and you all are running with it. Godspeed!!! Brave Soldiers!!!
Anyway, I see that some of you in the class are stressing about Excel and P/OM for windows. If you want to avoid them, you should probably avoid this class altogether. However, they really are set up so that all you have to do is plug-in the numbers and hit "solve" (or whatever). It's really not Rocket Surgery.
Besides, these programs will help you to become more computer savvy. That's a good thing; especially for some of the folks like me who need to keep up with all the young whipper-snappers in the workforce.
There are enough people in this thread that can walk you through whatever you are up against in this class.
If I could give a summary of my experience with MGMT 311, I would try to stress that Prof. B. is not a nit-picker. He grades based on whether you understand the concept. Neatness, spelling, pretty pictures, grammar, and format are not all that relevant to him.
He told me early on, "Don't overdo it. Just answer the question simply and completely."
My AE's were mostly hand drawn, or written, on a copy of the AE page from the syllabus. If it was a chart or spreadsheet, I printed it out then scanned it with a scanner to a PDF format. I usually turned in 2 or 3 AEs together. Everything I turned in was printed, then scanned to PDF, then emailed.
[SIZE="4"]I'd be interested to get a head-count of people reading this thread who have completed this class. If you have, maybe you wouldn't mind just chiming in, telling how long it took you to complete the course and your final grade.[/SIZE]
