JWMI MBA Program - My experience so far

[Vle045]

Well, I am starting week three of this class at the "other" school. Many things are impressive. They have a lot of really nice student perks. I am enjoying checking it all out. They have great alum benefits too. I wouldn't mind being an alumnus if it were cheaper.

The course itself has some downsides. The initial discussion question post must be a video or audio recording. I am not a fan of this at all. First, since I had COVID in March, I still cough sometimes... especially if I talk a lot. Second, I'd have to watch/listen to a lot of people to find something to respond to. This takes a lot more time than reading posts... I can scan written posts and determine what I can respond well to. There are 40 students in the class. The overall course load is more significant. For example, this week, we have a discussion question worth 30 points (three total posts) and two activities about 35 points each. Plus, part one of our project (100 points). Hopefully, I can keep up. Luckily, I have vacation time I need to use in June!

It makes me like the JWMI program a bit more, and after this, I will probably return to my plan of two courses a year. Let's hope I can finish this one with an A or B so it will transfer, and I won't have to retake it at JWMI later.
