What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program:

The flexibilty to work on courses when I had time made this program very appealing. Many of my co-workers spent a lot of their masters degree stuck in suburban traffic while driving to classes each week. I loved that I could do my entire degree from my couch! I think this program has also given me a lot of confidence as well.

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:

Since we usually knew when all of our assignements were due I could work ahead whenever I had a newspaper deadline at school. I usually worked late at night or on weekends. My dog especially enjoys the RealAudio lecture- she thinks this is a perfect time to play fetch because I am sitting still!

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:

I took a new position when CTER2 began and I think my enrollment in this program helped me into that job.

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.)

During CTER2 I got my first house and puppy. Now that I'm done with my degree I'm planning some major renovations for my house and will spend more time with my family.

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:

Late night chats with group members- we did have fun!
