Ok guys - I'm in too!!!  Just signed up for the MS in Human Relations and Business. My first 2 courses start in the summer semester (I did the 2 required courses first) and looking at trying for 2 certificates if I can because why not ...

Have you guys taken those yet? Any thoughts to share?

I'm not sure what the required first 2 courses are. The RGS courses? The research one I transferred in. The ethics one I'm in right now. I have the non-religious version. It's been very interesting and thought provoking. Lots of writing but it's grad school so that should be expected. There was only 1 book we needed. I got mine on Amazon for under $10. It's used but I didn't care. I've referenced it like twice. All of the reading has been giving to us in the course. 

I am taking 2 other courses right now as well. I purchased all of my books through Amazon. A couple I bought the paperback version of because of what they are and I thought I would keep them in my office as reference material. The others I purchased the Kindle version. Whenever I can get a Kindle version of a book I get it. I prefer reading on my phone over anything else. I bring my phone everywhere so I can get in some reading while I am waiting at appointments or whatever. I can also read on my iPad and MacBook since book have the Kindle app. It's cool on my MacBook because I can search. I may be able to search on my iPad. Can't on my iPhone though. 


I have 1 HRT and 2 management courses for the summer session. All the same professor. I had this professor this session and really liked them which is a good thing since they teach several classes I'm interested in. They're even teaching one of my degree requirements this summer. I was super happy to see that. Reading the past syllabus for the courses gives you an idea of the workload and if you really want that professor. There are a couple of classes I was interested in until I read the syllabus. Then I was like NOPE NOPE NOPE. One has multiple videos you have to make of yourself. Not happening. Then you have to share them on YouTube. Hard no for me. So I am super grateful that we can see the syllabus when registering for classes. I put off 1 class because the textbook is $125. I'm hoping in the fall someone else teaches it with a cheaper book. It's a brand new edition so maybe there will be used books available by then at the very least.

Yes, I'm sorry - they are the first 2 courses, the research one and the ethics one. Do you mind if I ask who is the professor you like? If I have an opportunity to take a class with them, I may just do that.

The syllabus viewing prior to enrollment is the best thing about this! Are you doing school FT?
