Re: Online Masters Education Program

1. Yes. MBS-Mathematics/Neuroscience
2.If you have your masters would it have been easier
to complete your degree were you offered an online degree
program? No, because I needed to be fully focused. I also
prefer having a prof lecturing so that I get immediate
feedback to my questions.
4.Does the name of the institution matter when you
are thinking about getting your masters degree? Not really. I
wanted a quality education, and my area of interests narrowed
things down considerably.
5.Does your school offer a pay raise for teachers with
Masters Degrees? Yes, and it is quite significant. I have not
seen any district that does not offer a step at the Masters
level.
6.What are some factors that would prevent you from pursuing
your degree in an online degree program? Please list several.
A) Online courses can be very difficult. I have taken about
20 different course online from Cal Berkely to Western
Michigan University. I have taken grad and under grad
courses, and the work load was significantly harder than
going to a class. You have to produce a lot of very high
quality work via an online course. Go to a classroom, sit
down, take good notes, read a bit, write a paper, and get
your 'A.'
B) Online courses are very expensive.
C) You better be highly motivated if you want to succeed.
D) Hard to focus on a job and school.

One big plus is that you can choose from some pretty high
quality schools, can take almost anything that suits your
fancy, and usually have more time to complete the
course...sometimes anyway, it seems to be changing.
