Thank you for the insightful response on the Ethics course. I’m taking it with Jerry van Hamme also so this is perfect!  Where do you get your books? I’m someone who likes real books so I was going to grab it also and it’s not at my library. 

When ss20ts said he really like the informational session, I hopped on the next one they had and I remember him saying the library people were really great so I hopped into that breakout room and Dr Joe Pendleton was in there. He was very enthusiastic and we had a great convo so I chose him for my Theory and Application course. Did you happen to have him in one of your efforts to take the class?

Thanks again for your response!

I think Dr. Pendleton only teaches the research course. I don't think he teaches other courses. But you can look at the Summer Course brochure on the Amberton website. It lists the courses being offered and who's teaching them. I really enjoyed Dr. Pendleton during the info session. I've sat through many of these types of things for a bunch of colleges and this was the only one where someone for the library was included. Being informed prior to the start of classes what resources are available and how to use them is HUGE. I have not had many online programs inform students what's available, how to find it, or how to use it so I have struggled at some schools because you need access to the journals for the papers. I LOVE how there's a chat during business hours for the library. I have found them to be REALLY helpful.

Yes, I'm sorry - they are the first 2 courses, the research one and the ethics one. Do you mind if I ask who is the professor you like? If I have an opportunity to take a class with them, I may just do that.

The syllabus viewing prior to enrollment is the best thing about this! Are you doing school FT?

I really enjoy Dr. McGuffin. She is teaching Managing the Generations class I'm in right now. She is a full time professor at Amberton so she has like 2-3 grad courses each session and a few undergrad. 

I LOVE that I can see the syllabus ahead of time. It has saved me from some headaches where I'm just like yeah I don't have that in me right now. Some classes are more work than others. I know my personal limitations so knowing at registration what work you'll be doing is a major bonus to me. I am full time with 3 courses per session. I have read that 4 can be taken but you need approval for it. I am going to try 4 classes in the fall session if I can get permission. Summer is too busy to tackle 4.
