So Fall of 2008 is just around the corner and the usual excitement
that goes with that is crackling in the air.
The NFL is ramping up, the BCS people are already arguing over who the
next college football champ will be, the kids are looking at going to school,
the Class of 2012 is beginning their freshmen year in college or high ...

In the forums one of the most frequent questions I see is "which school is right for me" or "can you help me choose a school" or "do you know of a school" etc. The problem with answering those questions is that choosing the right school is impossible for someone to do for you. They can suggest, point you in the right ...

I can hardly believe it. Here I am looking at the schedule for my next class and realize that I have only 3 courses left. Including this week which is half way over I have 19 weeks left of school and then I’m home free. I am wondering about the commencement ceremony though. It will be in mid December in Iowa. I ...

I sometimes get asked “how do you remember all of that stuff” when talking about tests I’ve taken for computer certifications such as the Comptia A+, Network+ and a bunch of stuff I’ve learned throughout earning my BS and MBA. Honestly there is no one trick or tip that works for everything but there are some that will ...

My title got you didn’t it? You’re reading this blog post thinking “can I really get my MBA quick and easy?” Sure you can. It wasn’t too many weeks ago I interviewed a guy who had a degree from a wholly unaccredited and un-wonderful university (which shall go unnamed) and he told me how quick and easy it was to get ...

For the past 6 months I have been working on quantitative courses and not really so much on anything research or qualitative. Even though I was required to write final projects the information was largely presented in equations, formulas and numerical answers with brief to thorough explanations. There really wasn’t a whole lot of ...

I read an interesting interview of an executive recruiter over the value of the MBA. I recommend you read it as well, but in a nutshell, the MBA has real value. It has the most value in investment banking, consulting work and finance but can be a cross industry asset as well. The MBA is being more sought after by being ...

This is part II of a two part series. (Click to view part I.)
6.) Technology. Technology is an inevitable part of being an online student. Using new, unfamiliar software and mastering the art of using it skillfully will become essential. If you are still carrying a pager, use a rotary phone, are afraid of a fax machine and ...

Okay I know it seems strange for a guy who is all about distance education to write about the negative aspects of learning online, but for the sake of fairness sometimes it is necessary to look at the bad side of learning as well as the good. After all it is important to make a well-informed decision when considering going back to ...

Normally I will finish my written assignment on Saturday night after working on it for a while throughout the week. Well unfortunately, I have been a little more pressed for time than normal and I still need to submit the assignment by Monday. Given that tomorrow is the “big game” (note the term super-duper-bowl is ...

The Financial Times, in the United Kingdom have a very interesting article published a couple days ago on survey results from MBA students. These students graduated in 2004 and the survey attempts to see their progress after 3 years, posting results for 2008. Again further proof that an MBA pays in the long run, though perhaps not ...

This really seems more of a niche audience type of blog post, so if you’re reading this, you either like the way I write, are related to me or are really into music and education. As you may have surmised from the title, I’m attempting to appeal to the latter audience.
I’ve written in the past that I love to play guitar. In ...
