Product reviews for Basics of Business Finance

This subject is very important not only in business, but also in IT. As an IT professional, this class really helped me to understand about a company's business finance. I will take more classes related to the same subject.

Verified Student

The course was very helpful, in addition, I was inspired to use the concepts for my own personal finances.

Verified Student

This class was a great refresher for me, since it has been quite a few years since I had taken accounting classes in college. The information was presented well and the instructor got the information across in a way that I could relate to.

Verified Student

This course was wonderful! I had no background in finance but was able to follow all the lessons easily and with great interest. The instructor is as good as you can get! He has a great way of presenting the material and goes beyond expectations in giving feedback about questions and lesson assignments. My only disappointment is to see this class end. I'm very pleased with this experience and the knowledge I have gained.

Verified Student

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a big "thank you" for the wonderful experience I have had with this course. I initially took this course to solely to help me out with my upcoming Master's program, but I am happily surprised to see how the subject has aided me in my personal financial life as well. I feel like I have a really good base knowledge of finance that can be branched out into other areas. I never thought I'd say this before, but I actually enjoy finance and would like to learn even more.

Verified Student

You are an amazing instructor. The course materials were well presented and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this course to my boss and peers. I hope I have the honor of taking another one of your classes in the coming year!

I am now able to relate much more business acumen than ever before. This course has improved my perspective immensely and I am retaining a great deal of it. I subscribed to a free podcast through iTunes and listen while I work. Repetition creates familiarity and it really overlaps with what I'm picking up in this class. I'm building a real foundation for my future and this course will undoubtedly prove invaluable.

Product reviews for Publish and Sell E-Books

The course clarified what I needed to know about getting a book on the market in one way or another, and that was my chief objective. The instructor was everything she should be and more and I learned far more than I anticipated. I had no idea the area was so complex.

Verified Student

A very well-done course. Gave me exactly the knowledge and experience I was after.

Verified Student

I LOVED the class and I'm so excited to have a detailed to-do list now to prepare my books for publishing!!

Verified Student

This was the best course I've ever taken. The instructor (Linda Aksomitis) was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. She put a tremendous amount of effort into answering questions in the Discussion area--we learned as much there as in the lessons, as she researched her answers very thoroughly. The lessons were very complete and detailed, giving us the basic skills we need to get an e-book published. The quizzes and multimedia elements in the lessons were also very helpful. This was a very practical course with up-to-date information. I feel confident that I can publish an e-book now. Thank you, Linda!

Verified Student

This is the exact class I was looking for. It contained all of the information I was looking for and more than I would have thought to ask about. This teacher laid out every step clearly and in ways that appealed to visual and audio learners. I appreciate this class because now I am properly equipped to publish my work online. Please commend the teacher for me.

Verified Student

I found this course to be extremely helpful, comprehensive, engaging and worthwhile. Linda Aksomitis is an excellent instructor and strikes a good balance between thoroughness in covering the material and keeping the tone of her lessons light and accessible. Even though much of the information is complex and technical, I found Linda's teaching style made it easier to comprehend and therefore utilize fully and with confidence. I particularly liked the detailed answers to questions in the discussion area, and the personal touch! I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to electronically publish a book.

Verified Student

Although I blindly stepped into writing my own book this course has further strengthened my interest in self publishing. It reviewed the knowledge I had gleaned from experience, answered many perplexing fears, and enhanced my ability to self publish 150%. Great information!

Verified Student

I thought I knew what I wanted to learn, but found there was so much more that I didn't know about! And, those things were critical to a successful ePub first-timer. I think I can now achieve my goal of publishing a young adult novel through Kindle Direct. I am looking forward to it! There are some things that are complicated, but I have printed out the lessons and will plow through it. The instructions are clear, and there are many links provided for technical help. So, thank you. This is a great course. When will it be offered again? I've been talking about it, and a few other people I know would like to take it. Linda is a very good on-line teacher.

Verified Student

Linda is the most helpful, knowledgeable instructor I've encountered in my classes. She takes extra time to truly connect with her students and answers every question with such in-depth information that her discussion areas are equally as valuable as the actual lessons. I'd highly recommend any class she teaches!

Verified Student

I'm a CPA and required to take 40 hours of continuing education each year. I wish my CPA classes were this good. The instructor was excellent! The material was just the right amount for each lesson. I've already recommended this class to my sister who has signed up for the next session. Thank you for "bringing it"!

Product reviews for Supporting Struggling Readers in the Classroom

I have taken several on-line classes now, and this by far was the absolute best! As a matter of fact, this on-line class was better than many graduate level classes I have taken. The expertise and knowledge base of this professor was exceptional. His ability to teach the content was superior. In addition, the instructor made this course highly relevant, extremely interesting, and most interactive. I was quite impressed with how quickly he responded to questions, comments, etc. (even after the loss of his dear father). I firmly believe that I will be a better educator because of this course! I am equipped with numerous strategies and techniques to add to my repertoire, but above all else, I am truly inspired!

I teach Reading Intervention in a rural public K-2 school . This class has been wonderful for me. It has given me many new intervenion ideas to use with my students. I also have a child who struggles with reading comperhension and this class also gave me some ides to use with my 5th grader at home. The teacher did an excellent job of writing the course material. The concepts were explained very well. I will highly recommend this class to teachers at my school. Prior to the class I never realized how much an classroom teacher could actually do to help struggling readers in their room. Thanks so much!

Verified Student

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The instructor, was very encouraging and provided helpful feedback in the discussion area. The lessons provided a variety of reading strategies that were free to prepare, many downloads of articles/templates, and practical ideas to begin using immediately in the classroom. I enjoyed the discussion area where I could share and receive ideas from other teachers. This course helped me to get ready for a new year of teaching reading with my new group of second graders. I would recommend this course to teachers (new or experienced) who would like to learn how RTI can be easily implemented in the classroom, without causing extra stress for the teachers. As a teacher in a private school, who does not have access to reading specialists/special education teachers on-site, this course was very valuable!

Verified Student

Wendell Christensen has made his voice heard. He has spoken clearly and intelligently explaining the RTI model. He has drawn a picture of a busy, well-planed classroom where learning becomes a shared and reachable goal. He has managed to pass on respect for all learning styles and abilities. He has demonstrated how children can share common goals reaching them comfortably by eliminating the frustration which often shuts students down.

Verified Student

The course was well organized and well-paced. There was time to reflect on a lesson before answering, time to do research and time to gather materials. The supplementary referrals were appropriate and useful. Further, the index was helpful for quick reference.

Verified Student

Your responses were thoughtful and truly appreciated. Your interest in children, your respect for the differentiated learning processes and your knowledge of the classroom were clear in both your lessons and your responses. The people who work with you daily have the gift of a lovely, knowledgeable, listener who responds with patience and authority.

Verified Student

It has been a pleasure for me to fill my head again with thoughts of the classroom. To picture my young students moving around the classroom and hearing the hum of learning. Thank you, Wendell, for reminding me how special teaching is and how magical a classroom can be.

Verified Student

The ending of this course is bittersweet. I am delighted that I have been able to participate in the course in order to complete my recertification but particularly for the opportunity to talk “teacher. “ Sadly, when you retire it all goes away although your interest in education and your love of being in the classroom does not.

Verified Student

The focus of this class has helped me to review my own thirty-five year teaching practice and to re-evaluate those practices which were most effective and fun! Managing a classroom for the benefit of all is truly a daunting task; it requires patience, strong managerial skills, physical endurance and reliable assistance. Following the RTI model endorsed in this program and by Wendell is the most responsible and effective model for monitoring student growth and for driving instruction.

Verified Student

Thank you so much for teaching this course. From one teacher to another, I can honestly say that you have been given a gift for teaching…This was my first online course. I couldn’t have asked for a better one…I am sure your school and the families that you work with know what a gem they have with you...I know we all are grateful for your prompt responses… I learned more from you and your course than I could have imagined... My wheels are spinning on how I would implement these awesome RTI ideas into a classroom. Thank you for teaching me all about RTI, and so much more.
