If you didn’t know, I’m working on my Doctor of Science degree in Information Systems at Dakota State University.

2009 is half over and its been a pretty good year so far.
What’s transpired this year?

During the first year I took five courses:
INFS 614 – Introduction to Research
INFS 720 – Systems Analysis and Design
INFS 724 [...]
I’ve just completed my first semester of my doctoral program and I’m ready for a break.
I took 2 courses this semester worth 6 hours. The courses are:
Introduction to Research (INFS 614) - This course was a bear. I did more research and writing in this course than I’ve done in the last 5 years I [...]
Things have been a little quite on my blog recently due to being busy in coursework for my doctorate at Dakota State University.
The Fall 2007 semester is in full swing and I’ve found myself working harder in this program than I can remember doing in my MBA program.
