ENEB Master Thread

[Wowbagger]

Before the exam, you will have access to practice multiple-choice exams following the same structure and logic as you have encountered in your subjects. This will enable you to prepare and feel confident, as some of those questions may even appear in your exam!

I wonder if the practice multiple-choice exams refers to the quizzes that already exist or to some newly created practice exams?

Yes you're correct. The multiple choice quizzes are the practice exams. When the exam option appeared for me, I did not see any new practice tests appear in my account. I emailed them and asked and was informed that the quizzes will be good preparation for the 50-question exam. I haven't been brave enough to do the final exam, but plan to do it by the end of November.

Greetings from Thailand!

I have just purchased a new program (double MBA + Master) yesterday. I still have not received yet an email message from the person responsible for the product with instructions on how to access it. How long, I can receive it?

Sawadee Khun Champ,
You should email academy@eneb.com to ask them to proceed. Please include your purchase order number for their reference.

I sometimes had issues where ENEB took around 1-2 weeks to respond. Usually they're fast, but, when they're busy or around holidays it can take a little bit.

Do you know why ENEB took so long to send grades for final projects?

---

I definitely get the impression HR is incredibly backlogged. Still no acknowledgement.

Got an acknowledgement from marketing very quickly for a project I worked on over the weekend.

I have seen ENEB staff reply on the weekends. I think whomever assigns the grading load works weekdays but the actual graders are all contract markers with regular day jobs in professional workplaces.

Hi there,

I am in the same boat with many actively learning with ENEB; as for turning in papers, yes, they appeared to be very backlogged.  

• My Advertising final was graded and turned around to me in about 7 days;  
  
• I got confirmation this morning from Operations my report was in for grading I turned in over the weekend;
  
• I have assignments in with Marketing, they have always seemed the fastest to me to turn things around;
  
• HR, I have to agree with one of the previous posters, they must be horribly backlogged as I have been waiting on the final project grade to be graded for over a month.  I re-submitted the latter part of December after they requested and I have yet to hear on that project still.  I'm giving it until the end of this week if I don't receive anything.
  Overall, the ENEB team has been responsive, I had some frustrations early on with the Accounting Department, as it took a couple tries to get one of my assignments turned around, but eventually it did make its way back to me.

Did they allow you to transfer credits from your Google and IBM certificates?

I didn't try to have my IBM certificate transferred for any kind of credits with ENEB.  It was a great pre-requisite though for me.  I found it very helpful to understand more and articulate the importance of data in my projects.

I knocked out the four overlapping courses in the MBA & Master Big Data and Business Intelligence.

Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and Executive Coaching.

I was interested to see how the turnaround time is with grading. The average length of the assignments was 15 pages, including title and source pages, with an average of 10 sources per assignment. I only did ten based on some interesting feedback in the thread on there being pushback for lack of sources. It felt like overkill by about 4; however, it was not much to add a few more as I crafted the assignment.

Based on the turnaround and feedback, I will decide how high I put this on my list of activities for Q1.

I got their feedback recently: I've been waiting for my NLP grade for over a week, while the other three have a relatively fast turnover in a few days, even during the holiday seasons. I got a few 9.75 for lack of graphics/citations but wasn't too concerned about fixing it to a 10. My paper was also in the range of 15 pages, while they did give me an 8 for e-commerce that's 8 pages in content with 8 citations that I did fix.

Also, they list both initial and revised grades in the notesphp, I'm not sure if they both show on the transcript.

I had a 9 and a 9.75 in my MBA that I did not submit for correction.  With the Validential evaluation I had recently done, the 9 and 9.75 came out as an A for each course, and a 4.0 in the American grading system along with the rest of the courses that were graded as 10s.


Are we even permitted to turn a paper back in for re-evaluation that isn't below what ENEB considers a passing grade?

Hi, were the final grades received though? any idea what's the cause of their delays?

---

Hi, anyone experience super delay in receiving their final grades? I have submitted 3 final projects since September but still no grade until now. Do you know what's happening to the school?

[Wowbagger]

I completed my Masters a few weeks ago, but I'm still waiting for them to contact me about issuing my Diplomas. I was planning to buy physical diplomas from them, so this delay is just delaying when they get my money! There are obviously some worrying organisational issues at ENEB at the moment. It's quite possible they have far more students than they can deal with in a timely way. I'm starting to suspect ENEB has a mere handful of actual staff and perhaps some HR issues too.

[bjcheung77]

Explosive growth, not enough staff, you'll come across issues and their idea of a quick exam to alleviate the backlog wasn't the best idea... hope they figure things out and keep their favorable evaluations both with NACES, AICE members and international evaluation agencies as well...

[datby98]

I personally hope other companies, such as TECH and Euroinnova, investigate the phenomenon of ENEB as an MBA-level case to formulate their own marketing strategies.

Hi everyone, concerning the new exam thing
If I enroll now, would I be eligible for it?
Also, I am confused, is it one exam for the whole masters degree or one exam per course? are exams proctored or not?
And what's the fastest one could complete ENEB's masters or MBA+Masters program
Thank you so much guys

For me, I just enrolled in another two programs, I got an email that the earliest I can do the 'exam' was in April! So, that's 6 months... For the 3 programs I did, it was about 7.5 months taking my time completing them. Time is subjective, it'll be easier/faster if you're putting more time into it daily, so say someone putting 10 hours a day will get it much faster than someone who puts 2-3 hours a day into that, very subjective, you need to gauge how well you do thing.

The exam option was introduced earlier in 2023 and it's likely a lot of people have already done it. I'm planning to do it soon for an MBA, probably next week. It seems like the exam option is available continuously now, but you have to pay much higher prices if you don't use the special offer. The last special offer was:

one Master's: €129
two Master's: €219
three Master's: €289

But now those same options will cost €349, €449 or €499.

It is one exam per whole Masters degree, 50 questions in length. Exams are not proctored, but they are timed. It's difficult to say what the fastest timescale would be to complete a degree using the exam option. ENEB advertising claimed it could be done in three months through the exam option. However, no-one that has passed the exam route has so far confirmed receiving their degree. I think the fastest possible time would be as follows:

EXAM route (approximate timescales)

* Buy exam option
* Exam becomes available - one month later
* Pass exam immediately
* ENEB confirm you have passed - 10-15 days later
* Complete personal details form for diploma
* ENEB send you the PDF diploma - 60 days later

So, in theory, this process takes less than 4 months. But, until someone who has gone through it confirms their experience, the above is still guesswork.

KalasI finished the MBA and Big Data degrees by using the exam option. I decided to be a guinea pig for exam option for a few reasons.

1.If I go for the DBA from AMA, my MBA won't matter anyway.
2.Paper grading was already slow six months ago and trending in the wrong direction. From reading the last 15 or so pages it sounds like it's getting slower.
3.I questioned the validity of the grading criteria used for the papers. There has been inconsistency over the number of sources required, some graders favoring/requiring charts to be added, the tediousness of tracking down academic sources to cite to make obvious points and I'm sure others I'm not remembering off the top of my head. What is actually expected is not explained or outlined by ENEB anywhere. That is unacceptable if the expectation is for foreign students to write to Spanish academic standards. The exam format is more objective in the sense that I'm not writing to the preferences of the known graders and hope RNG gives me a grader that wants what I wrote.
4.From my perspective, all of the papers were extended busy work. I can honestly say the papers I wrote in econometrics class taught me a great deal. There wasn't a single paper in either degree I believed would make me more intelligent or competent than I was prior to writing the paper.
5.I wanted to have the experience of a comprehensive exam. I went in looking at it as taking the comps in a doctoral program and qualifying for the master's that way.

Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, you do NOT immediately get the degree after passing the exam. 7 business days after passing the exam they send you a link to a form to fill out with information they already have (name, email address, passport/ID/student number, etc.). A degree is supposed to be issued 60 business days after filling out the form. Whether your completion date is the date you pass the exam or whenever they get around to copy/pasting your name into a PDF is currently unknown.

I have passed both exams but have not yet received degrees/transcripts/ambassador program access. AFAIK no one here has actually received the transcript after passing the exam yet, so we do not know what the transcript will say at this time. Maybe ENEB doesn't know yet and that is the reason they're taking the 3-3.5 months to send it after the exam. People that took the exam the first day it was available should be getting their degrees/transcripts any day now.

The exam questions themselves were mostly direct, but some proofreading by an English speaker wouldn't hurt. Even if they're phrased poorly (in English) the meaning is usually clear. However, some could definitely use a little QA. I had one that was something along the lines of "What kind of data should we consider?" and that was the whole question. What's the context?!?! It would (hopefully) make more sense if it were a standard unit exam rather than a comprehensive exam. They randomize the choices and didn't take that into consideration when writing the answers. Option B for one of the questions was B and C are correct. Despite having almost half of their subjects in common, I only had a couple questions appear on both the MBA and Big Data exams. The Big Data exam was 85-90% questions that would not appear on an MBA exam.

Two hours is more than enough time to complete the exam. I went slow, researched some of the questions, ran to the bathroom for no. 2 and still finished in less than half that time.

I stand by my earlier criticisms of the program in general. The value you get from the program resides in how much effort you put into it beyond the books they provide. I've been through most of the masterclasses and they are of varying quality, but nothing I would go out of my way to recommend. The Big Data books were not as bad as the MBA books from an Engrish standpoint, but fell into a weird middle ground where they're not technical enough to be tech books and not business enough to be business books. Quality for English resources is either not a priority or the person signing off on it is not a native English speaker. The main issues are fixable and ENEB chooses not to fix them. There is also no greater academic value anywhere, despite the flaws. I got two degrees for about $530, depending on what the euro conversation rate was when I paid for the exams and how badly my bank screwed me on the currency conversion. I'd have a hard time saying that $10 per grad credit was a poor financial decision.

I wonder if the practice multiple-choice exams refers to the quizzes that already exist or to some newly created practice exams?

I thought they were the quizzes that were already part of the course. If there is supposed to be another set of quizzes I never got them.

Good to know :-) 

How's the exam proctored? Would that be on a separate platform or the same one as quizzes? Thanks!
