Great for Online Learners in a post grad degreeReviewed by Dale R. Shank, 2010-02-02
Didn't think this book would be worth the time or cost, but found it to be very useful and informative for someone taking an online degree program, Masters or PhD. It contains many good tips and ideas that will help you succeed in an online degree program, regardless of where you're going to school....
Most Valuable Resource!Reviewed by Robyn A. Strayer, 2009-11-13
Dr. Green's book is definitely a most valuable resource for anyone deciding to go back to school, particularly in an on-line environment, and especially if for your PhD!! I've used it every quarter. I had the pleasure to personally meet him at a conference, and you could not meet a more down-to-earth, humble individual! His book is full of practical advise, great tips and motivation. I highly encourage it.
Great book for someone considering online educationReviewed by Sheila, 2009-10-02
Reading this book gave me a better understanding about online
education and what I needed to do in order to be successful. The
author is very knowledgeable about the topic of higher education.
However, he might me a little biased because he got his PhD at
Capella University and is a faculty member from that same
institution.
The book compares the pros and cons about both traditional
universities and online. I recommend this book to anyone that is
considering pursuing a higher degree (especially a PhD) either
online or at a traditional campus.
Great Book for Online StudentsReviewed by Lisa L. Petrick, 2008-10-20
This book would be beneficial, especially for those who are new to the online techniques of education or academics. It is helpful in many ways throughout your academic time frame and I found it to be very good. I would recommend it to anyone.
InterestingReviewed by GRR, 2008-09-15
The book is helpful, and does have some useful information. The author apparently is very fond of the word paradigm, as it seems to appear multiple times per page, especially in the early sections. The double spaced type used by the publisher is distracting.
