joined today<br>\n00:17<br>\nby UCF online student John and we&#8217;re<br>\n00:20<br>\ngonna dive into a bit of discussion<br>\n00:22<br>\nabout what it&#8217;s like to be a UCF online<br>\n00:24<br>\nnight let&#8217;s go ahead and get started so<br>\n00:28<br>\nJohn tell me a little bit about yourself<br>\n00:30<br>\nyes I currently live in Cincinnati Ohio<br>\n00:33<br>\nand were cats in st. charles hospital<br>\n00:35<br>\nand i recently completed my master&#8217;s of<br>\n00:39<br>\nresearch administration degree in<br>\n00:41<br>\nDecember of 2019 and enjoying the<br>\n00:45<br>\nfinishing it up and going with my career<br>\n00:50<br>\nwonderful thank you so much so a little<br>\n00:54<br>\nbit about you know looking at grad<br>\n00:57<br>\nschool what in particular<br>\n00:59<br>\ndrove you to want to enroll in a<br>\n01:01<br>\ngraduate program yes I had completed my<br>\n01:05<br>\nbachelor&#8217;s degree in 1998 and during<br>\n01:08<br>\nthat time I was waiting to get my<br>\n01:10<br>\nmaster&#8217;s degree but there were no other<br>\n01:12<br>\nprograms that were in my fields of work<br>\n01:16<br>\nuntil recently back in 2014 of 2015 I<br>\n01:20<br>\nsaw a brochure from UCF it was an all I<br>\n01:22<br>\nthink online brochure that I talked<br>\n01:25<br>\nabout the Masters of research<br>\n01:26<br>\nadministration and I thought that&#8217;s<br>\n01:28<br>\nsomething I&#8217;m currently doing at work<br>\n01:31<br>\nand then something I wanted to kind of<br>\n01:33<br>\npursue so during that time I kind of<br>\n01:38<br>\nwant to do some thinking and talk to my<br>\n01:40<br>\nfamily about and my wife was finishing<br>\n01:43<br>\nup her doctorate degree in music so once<br>\n01:45<br>\nshe got done I was gonna jump in and<br>\n01:47<br>\nstart pursuing my master&#8217;s degree so<br>\n01:50<br>\nonce she got finished in the fall<br>\n01:52<br>\nactually followed 2016 I started the<br>\n01:55<br>\nprocess of getting my paperwork<br>\n01:57<br>\nI contacted UCF to get some information<br>\n01:59<br>\nand started putting my application in to<br>\n02:04<br>\nstart in fall 2017 so it was it was<br>\n02:08<br>\nsomething I finally saw that I can get a<br>\n02:10<br>\nmaster&#8217;s degree with something I&#8217;m doing<br>\n02:12<br>\nin my career<br>\n02:15<br>\nso a follow-up to that John was there<br>\n02:18<br>\nanything in particular that made you<br>\n02:20<br>\nchoose online learning as your preferred<br>\n02:23<br>\nmethod to complete your degree yes maybe<br>\n02:27<br>\nin a husband and father and working<br>\n02:31<br>\nfull-time I just did not have time to do<br>\n02:33<br>\nin class in class after work and so what<br>\n02:39<br>\nI had to do is you know I&#8217;ve taken<br>\n02:40<br>\nonline classes before and I thought this<br>\n02:42<br>\nwould be the easiest way plus UCF to<br>\n02:45<br>\nOrlando to since noise a little bit<br>\n02:47<br>\ndifficult to try to travel that far each<br>\n02:50<br>\nday so but I knew that this was an<br>\n02:52<br>\nonline program it would be it would fit<br>\n02:54<br>\nwith what I do and so it was a perfect<br>\n02:57<br>\nperfect scenario that&#8217;s awesome so being<br>\n03:03<br>\na UC former UCF online student do you<br>\n03:05<br>\nhave any tips that you&#8217;d want to give to<br>\n03:08<br>\nanyone who wants to be an an online<br>\n03:11<br>\nstudent or learn online yes if you&#8217;ve<br>\n03:13<br>\ntaken on online classes before this<br>\n03:17<br>\nshouldn&#8217;t be any any more difficult or<br>\n03:19<br>\nactually should be easy for you to to go<br>\n03:22<br>\nthrough but if you&#8217;re a student that&#8217;s<br>\n03:24<br>\ndone in class work and have never taken<br>\n03:27<br>\nonline courses it&#8217;s a little different I<br>\n03:30<br>\nmean you&#8217;re gonna have you&#8217;re not going<br>\n03:32<br>\nto have as much communication with your<br>\n03:34<br>\nfaculty as you did in class and making<br>\n03:38<br>\nfriends is a little more difficult<br>\n03:39<br>\nbecause when you&#8217;re in class you meet<br>\n03:41<br>\nother people you get to know who they<br>\n03:43<br>\nare or online most of time you they&#8217;re<br>\n03:46<br>\npeople all over the country so it&#8217;s a<br>\n03:49<br>\nlittle difficult to to do that but with<br>\n03:53<br>\nacademics the way they are in the way<br>\n03:55<br>\nthe life is today I think online is one<br>\n03:58<br>\nof the best ways to get through to get a<br>\n04:00<br>\ndegree and whether it&#8217;s a bachelor&#8217;s<br>\n04:02<br>\ndegree or masters or PhD degree I think<br>\n04:04<br>\nit&#8217;s something that&#8217;s a very good<br>\n04:06<br>\nalternate instead of in-class work<br>\n04:10<br>\nthat&#8217;s awesome feedback on that John so<br>\n04:14<br>\nwith an online student and that being<br>\n04:16<br>\nyour preferred method to learn for the<br>\n04:19<br>\nmaster research administration program<br>\n04:21<br>\ndid you have a favorite part of being<br>\n04:25<br>\nspecifically a UCF online student<br>\n04:28<br>\nokay word my favorite I mean they they<br>\n04:33<br>\nwere wonderful they worked with me if I<br>\n04:35<br>\nhad any questions they got back to me<br>\n04:36<br>\nquickly and I especially dr. Mike Jones<br>\n04:42<br>\nwas fabulous I mean I love her to death<br>\n04:45<br>\nand she really helped me through this as<br>\n04:48<br>\nwell I mean not only she&#8217;s the director<br>\n04:50<br>\nof the program she&#8217;s also a faculty and<br>\n04:53<br>\nteaching several the classes and so I<br>\n04:54<br>\ngive her a lot of props and I think<br>\n04:57<br>\nyou&#8217;re hurt you know I was gonna make<br>\n04:59<br>\nsure I thanked her and I whenever I&#8217;ve<br>\n05:01<br>\ncommunicated with her just to let her<br>\n05:03<br>\nknow that she helped me a lot awesome<br>\n05:07<br>\nyes she&#8217;s very wonderful absolutely so<br>\n05:11<br>\nas far as your experience specifically<br>\n05:13<br>\nkind of shifting from the online focused<br>\n05:16<br>\nmore of the coaching focus what were<br>\n05:19<br>\nyour initial thoughts on coaching and<br>\n05:21<br>\nhaving a success coach with your online<br>\n05:23<br>\nprogram I think it&#8217;s absolutely<br>\n05:25<br>\nessential to have one I think you as a<br>\n05:28<br>\ncoach helped me so much in preparation<br>\n05:31<br>\nfor getting through the program sitting<br>\n05:34<br>\nin my courses and without you I would<br>\n05:37<br>\nprobably be still sitting figuring out<br>\n05:39<br>\nwhat I&#8217;m supposed to do so it&#8217;s it&#8217;s I<br>\n05:43<br>\nthink for any university that&#8217;s doing<br>\n05:46<br>\nonline coursework I think it&#8217;s essential<br>\n05:48<br>\nto have success coach or some sort of<br>\n05:51<br>\ncounselor type person that communicates<br>\n05:54<br>\nwith the students so that way it makes<br>\n05:56<br>\nthe transition easier to go through the<br>\n05:59<br>\nonline course through the program and to<br>\n06:02<br>\ngraduate so I think it&#8217;s very yeah it&#8217;s<br>\n06:04<br>\nwonderful thank you for that now did you<br>\n06:09<br>\nnotice if anything shifted for you or<br>\n06:12<br>\nhow things may have changed throughout<br>\n06:13<br>\nyour time with your program with your<br>\n06:15<br>\ncoach I thought my coach did great from<br>\n06:20<br>\nthe start to the end I never had any<br>\n06:22<br>\nissues with with what you did and<br>\n06:25<br>\nhelping me out so I commend you and<br>\n06:28<br>\nthank you personally and you know for<br>\n06:31<br>\nanyone that is going through the online<br>\n06:33<br>\nprogram you know rely on your coach<br>\n06:36<br>\nshe&#8217;s there to help she or he is there<br>\n06:38<br>\nto help you and so just ask questions<br>\n06:41<br>\nask for help<br>\n06:42<br>\nif you need it thank you so much so to<br>\n06:46<br>\nwrap up then John do you have any advice<br>\n06:49<br>\nfor students wanting to apply to UCF<br>\n06:53<br>\nonline as a potential grad student yeah<br>\n06:56<br>\nI would say contact UCF the school or<br>\n07:01<br>\nprogram that you wanting to get into ask<br>\n07:03<br>\nquestions get all the information you<br>\n07:05<br>\nwant to take some time to think about it<br>\n07:07<br>\nbefore you just rushing in so you know<br>\n07:09<br>\nexactly what you&#8217;re getting into so<br>\n07:11<br>\nbecause I think some students think okay<br>\n07:14<br>\nthis is what I&#8217;m going to do I&#8217;m gonna<br>\n07:15<br>\ngo in I&#8217;m going to do it and find out<br>\n07:17<br>\nit&#8217;s the wrong program so I think by<br>\n07:20<br>\ndoing so taking a little time and then<br>\n07:23<br>\nonce you know that&#8217;s the right program<br>\n07:25<br>\nfor you and you get to know the people<br>\n07:28<br>\nthat&#8217;s at that school and the program<br>\n07:30<br>\nthen apply get your paperwork in and<br>\n07:34<br>\nrely on them because they&#8217;re gonna be<br>\n07:36<br>\nthere to help you out so wonderful it&#8217;s<br>\n07:39<br>\nexcellent advice thank you so much John<br>\n07:42<br>\nagain for taking out some time today in<br>\n07:45<br>\nyour busy work schedule and life<br>\n07:47<br>\nschedule to speak with me a little bit<br>\n07:49<br>\nand reflect on your experience at UCF<br>\n07:51<br>\nand with coaching in general and I hope<br>\n07:56<br>\nyou have a wonderful rest of your day<br>\n07:59<br>\nthank you you too thank you
