What Our Students Are Saying

Our students appreciate the one on one guidance from their professional instructor as well as the opportunity to practice their new skills in a dynamic web based format.

This was my first-ever online course, so I had apprehensions about whether I would be able to connect with the instructor and the other members of the group. However, I quickly discovered that considerable interaction was possible through the threaded discussion each week. The course requirements were quite rigorous, and the reading assignments in particular were worthy of graduate course designation. Our written assignments had to be thoughtful, well researched, and documented. I was pleased with the presentation of materials in the four weekly lectures, and Claire was both accessible and supportive throughout.

Paul W. Hughes

The cultural diversity dialogue with the participants was the most informative and helpful part of the class. I enjoyed the whole experience. The instructor was compassionate, articulate and quick to respond to our needs.

Suzy Martinez

Great course! The lectures were very informative and comprehensive- better than other online coursework I’ve done through other universities. The online discussions were also good and more active than some other online courses I’ve done.

Susan Taigman

I feel more prepared to arbitrate after eight weeks of class than I did to practice law after three years of classes. I haven’t practiced [law] for a long time so it was a great way to refresh my thinking and knowledge. I thought this class was appropriately demanding. I feel prepared, knowledgeable, and totally satisfied with the course and content.

Jane Saltzman, JD

I would rate my overall online classroom experience as excellent. My instructor offered lots of positive feedback and the coursework was excellent in meeting my expectations and learning objectives!

Dr. Victoria King

The training was far better than my expectations! I began learning a “life” skill that I had never learned. The instructor was enthusiastic and brought the material to life.

Steve Swanson

The speakers and information were great and really held our interest. Role playing allowed us to experience the roles from all perspectives. Invaluable!
