Hey all,
Just got my grade for the CSU OM-311 course and itâs an A.
I first need to give a special thanks to Snazz (thanks Snazz) who helped me decipher what the Professor expected in this course (which was the hardest part of it).
Like everyone else who has taken it, my course consisted of 18 assignments, 4 tests and took about a month to do. This course was challenging to me because when I first got it I was lost as to what the Professor wanted (he was away when I started the course so I bugged Snazz). The one suggestion I can make is (from snazz) make the answers easy for the Professor to read by, for example, putting everything in one continuous word doc (received my grades back much quicker and was easier to send).
Another benefit of the course for me was that it helped me learn to use MS excel and word in ways that I hadn't known before (probably basic stuff for most people).
As said in previous postings the CD that comes with the book will save you a tremendous amount of time because it does all of the calculations for you (statistics mostly).
I did get a lot out of this course and would highly recommend it.
Now I am studying for the Bus Pol TECEP and am happy that I decided to do the OM course first (not that Bus Pol seems harder, just that I have run into a lot of OM topics studying it). In other words the OM course is making studying Bus Pol easier (for me anyway).
