Review:

 I will be finishing my BSM in Feb 09. After that I am at a loss as to what this degree will be able to do for me. I entered the program with very little knowledge of what to put in, to get what I can get out of it. I got into the program because all my years of managing health clinics in the military amounted to nothing without a degree under my belt. Yes, there are alot of papers to write for this program, but if you have a good learning team, support and work load is fair. I had no classes that I struggled with. I think it was "to easy", as I tended to be a C-D-F student in high school and now I am pulling A-B's. I think the mentality is that since I am paying for the class, the teacher is under some obligation to pass me. The subject material was interesting, but I dont think I read maybe 10% the required reading assignements and just participated fully in all class room discussions. There were no hard final exams to be taken. Each class was 5 wks long, once a week for 4hr sessions.So sometimes classes seemed to breeze by while others dragged on. Regardless, I am still unsure how to apply my degree into finding a better career. That is my dilema I suppose....but the UoP at least provided me the means to do so.
