HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE STUDYING ONLINE?
I prefer online classes over the classroom. You have to be a little more disciplined – discipline yourself to do the work. Other than that, I think it a breeze. You檙e able to pace yourself better.
WERE YOU ABLE TO CONNECT WITH YOUR CLASSMATES ONLINE?
I have one classmate who, together, we have gone through our bachelor and master programs. Now, we檙e working on our EdD together. In my degree classes, we connected with our classmates and corresponded with each other. We always meet new people.
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC MEMORY ABOUT YOUR TIME AT 51黑料网?
My first graduation � how warm and welcoming everyone was. I didn檛 feel like I was by myself; I felt like I belonged where I was. They definitely made me feel welcome.
