I have had multiple people email me over the last couple of months asking if I recommend Bellevue University. Well here’s the thing, yes I do and no I do not. See I cannot really recommend a particular school, any school without knowing more about the person asking, why they want the degree and of course what their ...

When looking at my class schedule I noticed that I may have missed a prerequisite for the Management Information Systems class so I called my academic advisor and found out I was wrong, thankfully there was no prerequisite for this course in the program. See since I skipped a semester I’m taking them a bit out of sequence. Anyhow ...

Today I heard back from Bellevue University that I am eligible for the deferred tuition program. Basically it works like this, I finish my course and I have 60 days before a payment is due. This allows me enough time to get the reimbursement from my employer before I write a check. Theoretically this means that is should cost me ...

About a week ago I wrote that I would contact Bellevue and attempt to enroll in the next semester which has classes starting on November 30th and report my updated status. Well yesterday I spent a little time on the phone with a graduate advisor who was extremely helpful in getting the ball rolling towards that end. I knew that I ...

You know it’s funny, since changing careers it seems I’ve been all over. I’ve been to Philadelphia, Kansas City, Washington D.C. and San Francisco and that’s just within the last 6 months, tomorrow will be Minneapolis. Ever hear that saying education will take you places? Well I suppose it’s somewhat ...

I’ve recently had a reader question as to why college professors dislike online learning. In this particular question the reader, an on campus student mentioned to one of his professors about finishing up school online. The professor’s response was something akin to “why not stick it out in a real school and get a ...

Far be it from me to ever encourage anyone to forgo getting an education, as it is probably one of the most worthwhile things a human being could ever do. That being said there are times in life when “dropping out” or dropping a course or quitting a particular program is the right call. For example in my own academic career ...

It seems almost as if it’s a rite of passage these days for graduates to incur debt. In fact of all the people I know who are college graduates, I think I’ve only met maybe 2 who haven’t taken out some kind of loan at some point in their student career. Hey, college is expensive and don’t let anyone tell you any ...

The day before yesterday I had to gather all the different papers for tuition reimbursement from my employer. One of their requirements is that I have to print up the page from their website stating their accreditation and as I expected Bellevue was regionally accredited, no surprise there. What I did not expect was to see that ...

Right now Bellevue University seems to be in a transition phase with their student systems, blackboard, email, etc. It’s a little irritating because you have to go to the old student portal (called Old Bruin) for some services and records and to the new student portal (unimaginatively called New Bruin) for other services and still at ...

So the suspense is over, my final grade for Business Telecommunications at Bellevue was a 96%. Not bad I suppose, I did make a 94% on my group project and I guess I’m okay with that. I’m still not too crazy about the whole peer evaluation thing affecting my final grade. In fact I’m not too crazy about the whole ...

Greetings from Kansas City. Tonight I am sitting in a hotel room in Kansas City trying to knock out some work before another meeting tomorrow. Ever wonder what life looks like after an MBA? Well I seem to be living it. Ironically enough all the same things that I had to do as an MBA student I am now doing as an MBA ...

Today I decided to try something new, taking the train and bus to work. I’ve never really done it before but thought “hey, if I can work on the train at least that’s a productive use of my transit time as opposed to simply sitting in traffic focusing on driving all the way home". They’re kind of pushing the ...

So I’ve been asked if your GPA matters to employers or not. Well, this is kind of a “yes” and “no” type of question. Yes in that an employer will often ask if you received any honors in school, etc. or at least make note of any that may be listed on a resume. In some government jobs your GPA will be ...

Sunday night was it, the final assignment for semester 1 at Bellevue was turned in. I admit that it feels good to be done and it was kind of tough doing that last assignment in time, I got hit with a bout of procrastination but I got through it. The group project grade was 100%, don’t ask me how, but remember that the peer ...

This evening I went ahead and filled out and submitted the peer evaluation for our group project in Business Telecommunications. I have a few issues with this. First, I do not find this to be an unbiased way to grade people. Personal differences, trying to steal thunder, hog the limelight, etc. all factor in. On top of all ...

This is week 10 of my first class at Bellevue, that means it’s the final week. I have 1 quiz, 2 papers and 3 discussion replies still yet to turn in and it’s Wednesday already. Geez! That plus I’m just getting smoked at work with all that is coming up and all the meetings, it’s starting to get a bit ...

This is week 10 of my Business Telecommunications course at Bellevue University. This marks the final week and I’m through, officially 1/12 (8.3%) complete towards my MS degree. I know it doesn’t sound like much but finishing the 1st course is a huge milestone in earning a degree. In fact it is the single biggest ...

Since transferring from working in law enforcement for 7 years to now working as a project analyst for software development you could say I’ve had to learn a few new things. In fact, I have had a complete paradigm shift in not only corporate environment, identity and job role but I’ve also had to approach systems in an entirely ...

So I’ve been asked to give my top ten schools for an MBA. Well, being as I’m an Ashford University MBA grad, I think this person was merely fishing for me to rank Ashford within my top 10 picks. I could do that, in fact for my unique needs, circumstances and abilities Ashford was my #1 pick, Bellevue would have been my #2. ...

So next weekend will take me to a whole new kind of class, a birthing class for my wife and I. This is probably the first time where I’ll be guaranteed to graduate regardless of how I do in this class as, you guessed it, the baby’s going to come either way. This is our first baby and it’s a girl and we’re both ...

As you all know, or at least those of you who read my blog semi-regularly I have recently switched careers (it’s all in my bio) from law enforcement to IT. Not just any area of IT exactly but more specifically into project analysis for application development teams (programmers). The amount of education, expertise and know how ...

Today I’ve completed an interview with the subject city’s IT Manger, submitted not less than 10 sources for our group project’s 2nd deliverable and the former “Captain No Show” has taken the lead assigning folks what to do and when. So I did my part of the “voluntolding” and just submitted it. ...
-
Today I did my discussion question, replied to three discussion posts and finished my written assignment. Now all that’s left to do is sometime tomorrow I have to work some more on my group project (though I will not write the entire work myself this time). So all in all I got an insurmountable amount of work done very ...
-
Well it seems my posts on my dissatisfaction with a group project have caused doubts about enrolling into Bellevue for more than one of my readers and I feel kind of bad about that. Let me say this, I do not like group work, in fact I find it unfairly places the burden of work onto the backs of those with the most initiative ...
