Hi All,

I just got my grade back for Colorado State University's "Operations Management" course (MGMT 311).

It took me about a month to complete all 18 assignments and the four exams (take home, open book).

It was a chellenging course, made moreso because the professor was away on vacation for the entire month it took me to complete the coursework. However, the fact that I was able to complete the course without any input or feedback from the professor, should tell you that this course is definitely nothing to be afraid of.

My professor came back from his vacation today and immediately set about grading all my work...I ended up with an A. Yippee!
hilarious

FYI:
Astonishingly, it looks like the cost of all CSU online courses went up from $297 to $417. I don't know when this happened, but it is quite a significant price jump. I must have just made it into the course before they changed their prices.

Anyway, if anybody is considering taking the OM course at CSU, I would certainly recommend it to you (except that the cost might more of an issue now).

Best of luck,
Snazzlefrag

Wow, glad I already enrolled. I barely have had a chance to crack the book, but I am glad I signed up!

It's a shame that many people probably postponed their registration in the Ops Management course because the professor was on vacation. Now they will have to pay almost $120 more for waiting. Who could have known :confused:

Gosh $417!!! :eek: Such a steep hike?? I'm also one of the victims of procrastination... I guess this course no more works out cheaper than the TECEP exam if you add the cost of the book to the tuition money. Does anybody know of a sub-$400 (anything cheaper) alternative to fulfill EC's requirement?

damn, i guess not

Sorry Sirjay, I wish I did.

There are certainly other independent study courses at other colleges and universities, but I don't know anything about them. Maybe I can find the time to do some research and I'll post as many options as I can find. I'll get back with this thread later with whatever I can dig up.

I haven't had much time to research, but the alternatives that I have found were more expensive.

Ohio Univ. = $604

Upper Iowa Univ. = $897

... still much more expensive than CSU-Pueblo ($417).


If anyone has knowledge of, or is willing to research, alternatives that meet the Production/Operations Management requirement, please chime in.

CSU-Pueblo may still be the best thing going, even at $417.

Thanks for looking into it. I've made up my mind that I'd go for CSU-Pueblo. Considering the fact that the course doesn't require a proctored exam and it's graded (high possibility of getting an A), it beats the rest of the options.

What is the best way to enroll in single classes at CSU Pueblo? Via online PDF form or phone call?

I think that over the phone would be the easiest. I enrolled in a class over the phone in about 15 minutes.

Out of curiosity... Which independent study course are you going for?
