Review:

I began my Master's program with some scepticism but it was quickly removed. My instructors did an excellent job of challenging me to deliver products with a higher level of writing quality, as well as critical thinking supported by the course concepts. I'm a solid self-starter so I was able to keep up. The only downside I can think of is the learning teams. Most of them were stocked with people who could carry their load and work will with anyone. There were a couple of exceptions though that made me want to quit the program. I can honestly say that in one serious case the instructor stepped in and dealt swiftly with the antagonist, who was clearly out of line. Overall, I'm quite proud of my accomplishment and my salary has increased by 35% since. Not a single HR manager or hiring manager or director, nobody, has scoffed at my degree. Why? Because once you explain how you got your degree on your own time over 2.5 years while juggling work, kids, bills, and the world in general they can't think of anything negative to say. If they did I'd question whether or not they had their MBA. Most don't. The course was worth it!
