[humanser] Online Masters Degrees

[Merry Schoch]

Hi Lou,

Welcome to the list.  My name is Merry and I live in chilly central 
Florida..  I am going to begin my second of four semesters to obtain my MSW 
degree.  My program does not offer any online courses; although, many 
students have complained about this especially for the two electives we must 
take.

I haven't entered into the issue, even though I spend 1 and 3/4 hours to 2 
hours per day one way to get to the university.  My undergraduate degree was 
earned (except for one course) completely through online courses.  In 
comparison, the time factor of studying is not much different.  On line 
courses are not easy and require a great deal of time reading, writing, 
posting and reading the  discussion boards, and research.  Discussion posts 
are usually like writing  research papers; they must have citations and be 
scholarly.  I must say I would not exchange the knowledge I gained by taking 
online courses because I am much better prepared for the program in which I 
am in.

I agree with JD, the class interaction is invaluable for a counseling type 
program.  I am not one who enjoys role playing; however, I know the 
importance and how much is gained through role playing.

I certainly understand your desire to spend more time with your new husband. 
Congratulations to you both.  Before I began preparing for the GRE, my 
husband and I had a discussion because I wanted to make sure he would not 
feel deprived due to my academics.  I try to give him time, but he 
understands that this will not be forever, and my education will benefit the 
household.  He critiques my papers since he is so skilled in linquistics and 
grammar.  I appreciate his assistance, and he gains insight not only on what 
I am studying also on me especially when he critiques a biopsychosocial on 
myself (big grin).

I hope you find what fits  your lifestyle and I wish you the best in your 
marriage and  your academic career.

Respectfully,
Merry Schoch
