A question for you adjunct instructors

LOL

I had the idea of expanding my knowledge in the healthcare field at the master level.

 

Yes, yes, of course.

 

So, where is that Washout Sticky and who will be the first to contribute?

 

Phooey on political correctness!

 

I was considering doing one of the pharmacy MS programs next fall (provided I defend my dissertation this summer.) Any particular reason you dropped out?

 

Class requirements:
Attend two Elluminate live lectures per week(one on Sunday evening and one on Wednesday evening and they are 90 minutes each)
Read about 60 pages in the text per week
Post two discussion questions relevant to the reading per week
Respond to three other students’ questions per week
Watch two video that are posted on the UF E-Learning System (60 minutes each) per week
Answer five homework questions per week. Each response should be a minimum of one paragraph referencing the reading material.
Has a mid term and final exam.
The course is 7 weeks and cost $2,000

My issue:
I already completed the certificate so I have the UF “name” on my resume.
When I completed the certificate program it was only $800 per course, required a few discussion questions, had a final exam, and end of term paper. Not easy but was completely independent.
The tuition is coming out of pocket since I am using tuition assistance for my PhD.
I am working on a PhD at the same time and want to get it done!
(The big one) My wife said, “What is more important: me or school? I need attention too…you figure it out.” That was the final straw since I work full time, teach online, and am pursuing a PhD.

Side Note:
Dr. Nanni, Dr. Brushwood, and Nicole (the admin) are top notch and the best group you could hope for to run the program.

 

This was a few years ago and yes they were having a lot of problems. I don't think that is the case anymore.
