Where are my Amberton peeps? Have a question

[ss20ts]

I have not taken any CSL courses. Most of them are on campus only it looks like. I'm in Conflict Management and Resolution right now. I have really enjoyed this class. There is a different professor for the Winter term. You can read the syllabus and see what the workload is like.

There are actually 12+ classes for winter semester that are CSL. I only want to point that out in case that scares anyone away from taking a counseling or Family Studies degree

I emailed Professor Hebbard to see if he is teaching that course again because I did see there is another professor doing it for winter and Rate My Professor doesn't look like she's someone I want to take a class with. 

Have you been taking more than one class each semester and do you work FT? That's what I've been doing but work slows down for me a bit in the Nov-Dec time frame so I'm trying to pick 2 to take at the same time that won't kill me.

The 3 main counseling degrees can only be completed by Texas residents. There's all kinds of disclosures about them in all communication about degree programs. They go a bit overboard with it. So some of the counseling online classes may not be open to you if you're not in Texas or in one of those programs. Have you asked your advisor about taking CSL courses? 

I do not believe Dr. Hebbard has any online classes for Winter. I totally lucked out with him teaching this term. I am not sure if they are on any particular course rotation. Dr. Palmer told me that the professors don't get to select their courses. So I'm not sure how that's all figured out. 

I've been taking 3 courses a term. I'm not working full time. This term I have 4 classes and I do NOT recommend this to anyone. It's been awful. There is sooooo much work in 4 classes. Doesn't help that I have Strategic Management which is my capstone. This course is difficult. 

I had 3 classes with Dr. Palmer over the summer. She uses business books instead of textbooks which is really nice. I enjoyed all of her classes. I felt like I got a lot out of all of them. The discussions don't require responses with her which is really nice. You do write 5-6 papers. None of which are horrible. 

I just read about Dr. Paul on Rate My Professor. Above you refer to him as she so I'm not sure if we are looking at the same professor. Many of the reviews are from over 10 years ago so I wouldn't put much faith in many of them. There are also a lot of students who complain about the workload in every class. Some just don't have any idea what grad school is like and think it should be easy. There's been a few people who think like this in several of my classes. If you're in that department, it doesn't seem like he can be avoided. He uses a different book than Dr. Hebbard. The assignments sound similar. As we have 5 papers to write - one on each week's reading. We read 2 chapters every other week. We have to write a paper on each chapter and then a 3 page paper on the video clips he's given us and how they relate to our lectures and reading. 

HBD6768 has a few required Saturday Zoom meetings. Would those work with your schedule? That class reads like there is going to be quite a bit of work. There's a midterm and final exam as well. There's a 2 week break for the holidays too. Winter is such an odd term.
