Today marks the beginning of week nine. After this week, we will have a two-week group project, and then we’re free from this class. Just because we’re getting closer to the end in no way means that the work gets easier. This week, we have to do our final individual project which investigates the fair market value ...

Hi, Scott
I came across your blog online. You are possibly the best person to help me out. I've been going back and forth over whether I should attend Kaplan University to obtain my MBA or Norwich University. I received my undergraduate degree from a regular brick & mortar school. I'm leery about the whole online schools to begin ...

It’s week six in Managerial Finance. I just finished up the hardest week so far in my MBA program. I got the lowest grade I’ve received thus far (71%). The assignment was one of the most complex things I’ve seen in my college career. I hope to get a better grip as time goes on. If you can imagine ...

Week five and we’re back at it, having more fun that a human being should be allowed to have in distance education at Norwich University. It hit me last night! When I get done with this class in a few weeks, I will be 1/3 through my MBA program. Wow! Time is flying.
This week, we’re talking about the risk we ...

Scott, enjoying the blog, Lots of valuable info RE: online MBA programs. Question: I'm considering enrolling in the Texas A & M Commerce or University of Houston-Victoria program, and have looked into Norwich before. What factors helped you decide on Norwich vs. A & M Commerce, and if you had to do it again would you make the same ...

Yesterday was the first day of Managerial Finance. After a well-deserved week off, we’re back at it with a topic I dread. I have worked for a while to get my mind in a position where I can appreciate what I will learn. It will not be easy, but I’m ready for it.
The first week consists of some really interesting ...

We finally got our final grade in my first MBA class, Strategic Resource Management. After all the hard work, I was expecting a low “B”. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that I got a “B+” (87.80%). This is good news.
I wanted to outline some thoughts and observations that I have accumulated ...

The final grades are in … (Not my overall grade for the class I just finished, but grades on all the work I did last week.)
I was pleased to hear that the group project got is an 89%. With the difficulties and challenges associated with a group project of that size and the fact that our team was spread out over two continents, ...

I am still standing.
I have this week off from school. It is a much-needed break between classes. I finished up the work in my first class of my MBA program at Norwich yesterday. I have never done so much school work in one week than I did last week.
The group project came together well. All members of my group ...

I didn’t want to post this based on my belief in “the jinx”. I am not really superstitious, but I do believe in karma. I originally thought that by making this post, I would jinx myself, but I think I’ll take the risk.
I spent a decade when I was in my 20’s working to get experience in several ...

This week is going to be the death of me! If you’ve ever been in the military, you know the meaning of “Hell Week”. This is a Navy Seal term. The fourth week of BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition School) is known as Hell Week. This is when students train for five days and five nights solid with a maximum total of ...

As anyone who has read my blog here at eLearners can tell, I love online education. Very few of my posts have touched on anything negative. Unfortunately, this is one of those posts. I am not sure I would even use the word “negative”. Perhaps “extremely challenging” would be the best way to phrase ...

It’s been a while since I’ve had some fan mail. I’ve received two this week. The first one is posted below.
"Scott, I have read most of your blog, however if you mind, I would like to ask you a couple questions and would love your honest reply. I did my undergrad at UOP, and am considering Norwich. If you had to ...

Wow! With all the things going on at work and school, I never try to keep track of my progress too much. It all just runs together after a certain point. But we’re are officially more than half way through the first class of my MBA program! This week is week six where the topic is Organizational Capital - Leadership and ...

Week four kicks off at Norwich University. This week, we’re talking about management and information technology. The goal is to write an essay describing a scenario where an organization has moved either too fast or too slow in using information technology (either internally or externally) in its business. As you can see by ...

This week is the Christmas break at Norwich University. This probably applies to most or all other schools as well. I am glad, since I needed the break. We've completed three weeks thus far. It's not that it's difficult, but I can appreciate the down time so I can sit back and evaluate where I am.
My ...

Looks like my first week at Norwich went off without a hitch. I got my grades back on my discussion participation and my writing assignment (which was a 1500 word essay on some very complicated stuff).
The assignment consisted of 1,500 words that compares and contrasts the Strategic Job Family Model with the Strategic Values Model of human ...

We have begun week two in my “Norwich University Experience”. The gloves are off, this is not a drill. This is the real thing now. Week one was spent doing introductions, getting used to posting and replying to the other comments in the message boards, and generally getting acquainted to the system.
Week two consists ...

If week one at Norwich is any indication of how things will be going, this is going to be very exciting.
Perhaps I have quickly forgotten where I came from, but for the first time in a while, I feel like this is going to be a very rewarding experience.
My professor called me tonight to introduce himself and give me a brief rundown of what to ...

Day one: Spending the day getting acclimated to my new online learning platform. This is pretty exciting. If you read through my previous posts about what things I would have liked to see utilized at Kaplan, a podcast (MP3) lecture was one of the top things on my wish list. Well, after signing in to my Norwich account and ...

I now hold in my grubby little hands the books that I will use for my first term at Norwich University. I got them in the mail yesterday. There are three of them.
The smallest of the three is Essentials of Organizational Behavior by Stephen Robbins and Timothy Judge. This book looks very interesting, and I can’t wait ...

First of all, I’d like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! I wouldn’t normally write a post on a holiday, but I am sick again (for the second time in three weeks) with a vicious sinus infection. I have been out of work all week and curled up in the bed. This is the first opportunity to do anything in what seems ...

I’m still excited about being accepted to Norwich last Friday. I got a huge envelope in the mail with all of the school info, what to expect, etc … Its good stuff. The student handbook is pretty thick, and I took an hour or so to read it last night. The change in scenery is very exciting to me.
I didn’t want ...

After taking a few weeks to gather the required documents for my application to Norwich, writing what I hoped was a great essay telling them why I wanted to be there, and submitting everything the day it was due (because I graduated from Kaplan that same day), I was in “waiting mode”.
I was told it would be about a week before I knew ...
