Customer Reviews

Great book for someone considering online education

Reading this book gave me a better understanding about online education and what I needed to do in order to be successful. The author is very knowledgeable about the topic of higher education. However, he might me a little biased because he got his PhD at Capella University and is a faculty member from that same institution. The book compares the pros and cons about both traditional universities and online. I recommend this book to anyone that is considering pursuing a higher degree (especially a PhD) either online or at a traditional campus.

Great Book for Online Students

This book would be beneficial, especially for those who are new to the online techniques of education or academics. It is helpful in many ways throughout your academic time frame and I found it to be very good. I would recommend it to anyone.

Keep the book close by

If you are thinking about going back to school or have just started back - READ THIS BOOK! Dr. Green has managed to provide the information needed for anyone to navigate a graduate program, but is honest about what it takes, what you will need to do, and how rewarding it will be. Dr. Green's conversational style of writing is impressive. You feel as if you are having a casual talk with a friend but end up feeling motivated by a mentor. I have gone back to school once and now thinking of doing it again. This book will serve as a reference for my new endeavor and continued motivation.

Dr. Jeff Green, the upcoming #1 author

I have a successful career in HR. Most of my applicants are misplaced due to corporate downsizing. In many cases, these individuals have several degrees. It has been my pleasure to recommend Dr. Green's book, "Graduate Savvy" to these individuals seeking, in some cases, new careers. My experience reading Graduate Savvy was a virtual visit with Dr. Green through his friendly, conversational style. What I know for sure is--education is not an option. So, take a deep breathe, kick off your shoes and explore the world of online higher education with Dr. Green. I promise everything inside you will rise up to reverberate, YES, I can do this.
