    I have never taken the management courses, but have taken several computer science courses. What do you want to know?

    Are you asking about what is the best individual class to select, or are you asking about the best degree program? Do you know that you must take 6 classes on campus for the ALM in management degree, and AT LEAST 1 class on campus for all of the other degrees?

    I am going to be perfectly honest here.

    I am having difficulty understanding your posts. It is obvious that English is not your first language. IMHO, you may encounter great difficulty passing any of the management classes with such poor written English ability. I am not trying to be mean, I just want you to get honest information.

    At best, you may be able to get through a few of the math or computer science classes that don't require much writing. All of the other subjects are EXTREMELY writing intensive. It would be almost impossible to get a degree (Harvard Extension no longer offers certificate programs) with out a significant amount of writing at the graduate level.

    In short, I can't recommend any classes for someone to take, unless they have an excellent command of written English. My recommendation would be to find classes to improve your English writing skills, then reconsider taking a class at Harvard Extension. To do otherwise would most likely be a waste of money.

    Either way, good luck.

    I have to agree with mcjon. You didn't say if you were seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree, but there are countless degrees at the undergraduate level that don't include the extensive writing that is EXPECTED as part of a Harvard course. As for the graduate level, you'd have to pass the Proseminar (extensive writing each week) before being allowed to enroll as a degree seeking student- but you can enroll in an unlimited number of courses as a NON degree seeker. There are no requirements, simply pay and sign up.
