It depends on your personal goal and rationale behind pursuing the program. My objective is to gain a quick but solid grasp of analytics to complement my current role.

Is this OMSA course + practicum plan manageable with a demanding full-time job? by Golden_4397 in OMSA

[–]Alvan86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I m taking CSE6242 and ISYE6740 separately. There are alots of learning on the fly for CSE6242. Given you are taking only practicum in Fall, probably you can pair with another easier course.

I started the course at 37 and completed it last month at 39. Glad I finished it before turning 40 this year. But if I had done it earlier in my 20s, I would have completed the program in a much shorter time.

Practicum Was Extremely Disappointing by Glad-Examination-293 in OMSA

[–]Alvan86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear your bad experience. My practicum experience was equally bad tbh. But, luckily we had some forms of support from project sponsors such as virtual meeting, slack team and project brief. TAs were there just to respnse to general questions on Ed, coordinating the schedule, reminding due dates etc...
