For the summer, 2 modules are dropped but the first 2 modules are the most difficult and worth the most. The course would be a lot better if the latter modules were worth more to even out the demands of the class. There is also slight overlap with MGT 6203. The class is effectively a mini-MBA, which can be helpful, especially if you are currently working full-time to help connect ideas to your own business.

Coming from a non-business background, this class was definitely a grind and it required a lot of time going through the lectures, taking notes, and doing the practice assessments. I thought the material was interesting and well laid out in the lectures (for the most part), there's just a lot to memorize in a short period, especially with this being a summer semester. For the accounting and finance modules I was probably averaging 15 hrs./week of course work, then that dropped down to around 10 hrs./week for the supply chain and marketing modules, with the course work mainly being studying notes and practicing self-assessments. All the exam questions are very similar to the practice self-assessments questions, so as long as you're comfortable with all the practice self-assessments questions, you should be OK. It also helped a lot to get through the lectures early so that for exam week I could just study and practice assessments.

I can see why people don't like this class since it's very much a business crash course with not much analytics involved, but I found it useful to have a better understanding of business and could apply what I was learning to stocks, business decisions, what I read in WSJ, etc.
