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 ...

There's nothing harder to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon for me than writing a research paper, yet that is exactly what I should be doing at this particular moment. The problem is that I'm not in "the zone" for writing a paper. I know it sounds weird, but unless I have the right mix of ingredients in my atmosphere, my attitude and ...

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 ...

As most of you already know I closed on my new house last Friday.

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 ...

Of course there are many, many good reasons people don’t get an MBA, such as being a Heart Surgeon or a full time Nurse Practitioner or some other lucrative career choice where an MBA really wouldn’t further your career much if any. But for those of you working in business or those of you who have majored in business it can often ...

When considering any degree program it is important to understand how the materials will be provided and what on what type of media. For example, Fort Hays State University gives professors the option of video taping lectures on VHS cassette in which case it would be necessary for you to own a VCR (I know, they're getting harder to find). If ...

I have completed my spreadsheet for my final economic report in Quantitative Methods. The good news is that in a worst case scenario, even if I receive a 0% for this week I will still pass the class. The bad news is that I just ordered my book for Managerial Economics and it was over $150.00, ouch! I am really looking forward to ...
