But unlike Rodney Dangerfield, I'm going back after only a ten year absence. I'm registered and a full week into my first course with Jones International University.

I know, an online university? But the more research I did, the more appealing it became. Jones was one of the first online universities on the block, giving them over 7 years of experience of educating online. More important though, shortly after opening up Jones achieved full regional accreditation from the the same commission that accredited the University of Notre Dame. These points, plus the flexibility of an online environment, and I was sold.

Now I'm on week two of my "Ethics in an E-Global World" class and I can honestly say that this class is more work than any single class I had as an undergrad at CU Boulder. The reading is about the same, but the exercise workload is much higher.

And...I'm having a blast. I haven't written this much since I started this weblog.
