    Being affiliated with the Dominicans is a very significant thing. To think that one would not be able to use a degree from a Dominican school for the things you mention is...odd.

    There may well be - but in that particular instance I was referring (in the literal sense - Latin re + ferre = "bringing it back") to a specific individual, a US citizen, I believe, who had slagged Europeans, not knowing, caring or realizing that his perceived target wrote under an Arabic name. Yes - Dumb-ass can be from anywhere and I. myself am not wholly exempt. Who is? Xenophobic - not my personal demographic. I think that's been proven.

    Context is everything, in some cases. I think I chose correctly in this one. Zinged one guy - adapting his own words - not zinging his entire nation. Don't make it what it isn't.

    Gotcha. I think the singular "American" would have been better to zing one specific guy, versus "Americans". YMV, my feels are intact, so all's well.

    Glad you're OK. I used the plural "Americans" ONLY because the guy had used the plural "Europeans." Just wanted to make sure I was parroting / parodying him accurately.

    Yep. Amazing too, how much good music comes from that fella's wife - Diana Krall. She's Canadian. Diana has told interviewers before that it's a very musical household - they're both likely as not to burst into song at any moment. They should leave a mike on. :)

    Hello,
    In passing by your forum, I'd like to share some my point of view:
    I was a student at Domuni in a bachelor's degree in religious sciences, and I obtained my degree from the Angelicum, since the two universities are in partnership.
    I really appreciated the quality of the teaching received. The fact that it was done in a very well thought out way, adapted to distance learning, allowed me to combine these university studies with my other daily activities.
    All the best,
    Cecil

    What was the degree name that the Angelicum awarded? BA? BRS? STB?

    Could you tell us a bit more, please?

    What were the courses like? Heavy or light in reading, writing, etc.? Was it mostly independent study or did you get a good amount of time with actual profs? Any other interesting details you could share?

    Hello,
    I have studied entirely online. The courses were of a very high level but were also very accessible. The way the courses were written and organized showed that they were clearly designed and perfectly adapted for someone studying independently in the context of distance learning. If I am to go into specifics, I could say that the courses are each divided into bitesize parts (about ten on average) to be studied one after the other. After each part, there are often a few optional questions to help us work through and get a better understanding of the course. There is also a considerable number of notes and references, as well as a bibliography, should one like to delve into deeper study. At the end of each course, we had an online quiz to check our knowledge and then an assignment to write, which was then sent and corrected by the professor in charge of the course. Throughout the course, we have access to a forum where we can interact with the professor and other students also taking the course. Twice a year we had a face-to-face exam: an assignment on one of the courses of the previous semester. We were also offered methodology classes to help us with writing assignments, for example. We also had the support of a mentor-instructor who was our reference throughout the course of our studies, to whom we could turn for any questions not directly or specifically related to one of the courses.
    In short, this was my experience. I hope I have answered your questions.

    Hello:
    I've registered for the MAS (Philosophy) program. It consists of 4 courses, a seminar and a paper. The degree is canonical but, even then, it does not lead to doctoral studies. The cost is 1500 Euros for the entire program. I've read everything I could find about the University including everything everyone has said on this blog (which I found informative and helpful). My incentive is merely the opportunity to study a little more in the discipline purely out of interest and, of course, with the enticement of a very attractive fee structure. I have no career ambitions associated with the degree. I am looking forward to the program. I would like to thank everyone here for their comments.
