  • Grades in on my first class at Bellevue

    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 ...

  • What completing that 1st course means to me

    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 ...

  • Nobody Wants to Lead? Bellevue Update

    If you are a regular reader then you know that I’ve been assigned to a group project for my graduate project in this course.  It’s kind of a bummer because I strongly prefer to work independently.  That being said, I do realize that in the real world of business, collaboration and group work is the norm and a way of doing ...

  • Bellevue Update Week 5 in Business Telecommunications

    Update on my Bellevue progress, I am now working on Week #5, which puts me at the official ½ way point for this course.  I have a group project I’ve been assigned to (I’m on the purple team) and we have our first deliverable next week.  So far nobody has stepped up to contact the other group members and take on a lead ...

  • Learn New Skills or Lose Your Job

    Today I briefly spoke with a woman who works in my building whose department is being closed sometime this year.  Everyone at the company is either moving to another department within the company or they are going to be laid off.  The deciding factor on whether or not these people keep their jobs?  Diversity of skill.  If they ...

  • Week 3 Underway: I’ve received my first grades!

    Today I checked my Bruin email and received my first grade report; so far it’s 100% which is encouraging.  I was sweating that 1st paper because frankly, I didn’t do the assignment in the correct format.  For that matter I turned in week 2’s assignment without a title page or abstract which is wrong I found out ...

  • Bellevue Update

    Today I was sitting in my office when the phone rang, it was Bellevue University reminding me that my classes start on the 8th and she confirmed the class I was enrolled in.  Nice, I’ve actually never had a school remind me about a class date and I think it shows the school really watches out for their students.  Good job Bellevue. ...

  • Reader Request: An example of a recent Bellevue graduate’s schedule

    As many of my readers know, Bellevue University sent me a welcome packet full of useful information, tips, articles, helpful information, etc.  One of those helpful pieces of information was an example of a recent graduate’s schedule.  Technically it’s a filled out calendar but I cannot reproduce the calendar due to ...

  • Bellevue University’s Welcome Packet

    I received a welcome packet from Bellevue University last week and I know some of you will be interested to know what’s included.  Ashford had a welcome packet as well but it was more in line with an email and a hand in hand walkthrough of how their systems work, i.e. the admissions counselor would take you through a simulation of the ...

  • I'm Going to be a 1st Time Father: This changes everything

    I’ve been sitting on a secret for a few months now; my wife is pregnant with our first child.  I don’t know if it will be a boy or girl yet, no clue but either way it goes I’m pretty excited, nervous, hesitant and impatient all at once.  This was a major motivating force behind deciding to get a MSMIS instead of getting ...

  • I’m officially enrolled at Bellevue

    I finally enrolled in Business Telecommunications CIS 540 at Bellevue University today…hurrah!  Just in time to from the looks of it, they had 2 professors teaching that course for the upcoming Summer semester and out of the 40 available slots (20 per professor) there were only 4 left.  That’s right, 4.  After I ...

  • Internet Explorer and Bellevue: Also no PMP for 2009 but MS is a go

    Tonight I attempted to register for my first class but hit a technical snag, it seems that Google Chrome or Firefox doesn’t work too well with their registration system.  I don’t use IE at home, what can I say?  I don’t like the thing so I usually just uninstall it and move on.  Well not tonight I suppose, ...

  • A sea of MBAs at my new job

    Sorry to those who have asked, but I’ve not yet “officially” enrolled yet.  I get my performance plan at work tomorrow and I’m going to try and include my classes towards my degree in the plan in an effort to a.) get credit two different ways and b.) absolutely ensure the financial reimbursement which although already ...
