MSBAPM Course Reviews: Spring to Summer 2017
I decided to start my blog to write course reviews because I have studied in the MS in Business Analytics and Project Management (MSBAPM) for 8 months since January, 2017. When I was invited to be one of panelists for a panel discussion in orientations this year, many new students asked about recommended professors and elective courses. This motivates me to write something as references for prospective or current students. I can also review what I have gained so far and thus better plan my future.
However, I have to admit that I am actually an outlier in this program. One reason is that I took all 7 required courses (total 19 credits) in my first semester (spring 2017); plus 5 subjects (15 credits) in summer. Another reason is that I will exceed the minimum of 37 credits for graduation. In other words, I will graduate with more than 37 credits. The other reason is that I don't come from any IT or computer science background. In fact, I already earned a master's degree in nutrition at University of Kentucky before I got admitted to MSBAPM at University of Connecticut (UConn). Like my LinkedIn summary says, this is a dramatic U-turn in my life.
Although I was not satisfied with every subject I took, overall MSBAPM program is good for me because I am not equipped with strong coding and technical experience. I will start to post each course's review that I took based on my experience. These courses are listed alphabetically below:
Spring 2017
MGMT 5620 Project Leadership and Communications
OPIM 5270 Introduction to Project Management
OPIM 5272 Business Process Modeling and Data Management
OPIM 5601 Technical Communication
OPIM 5603 Statistics in Business Analytics
OPIM 5604 Predictive Modeling
OPIM 5641 Business Decision Modeling
Summer 2017
OPIM 5165 Management Information Systems
OPIM 5501 Visual Analytcs
OPIM 5668 Project Risk and Cost Management
OPIM 5894 SAS Survival Rate
OPIM 5894 Social Media Analytics
Reviews will not come out in the above alphabetical order. Instead, I'm going to write reviews based on my personal feeling and readers' comments. If you are interested in certain subjects and really want to see their review as early as possible, feel free to leave your comment to let me know.
