Run the opposite use associate trainer since tuning was please before you choose a project. The process forced each of us the program to perform parts of the Capstone project during the last courses. Personally, I chose something that really challenged me to learn dynamics and building serviceability to entirely new echelon... a few levels higher than I functioned before the program. The best part for me was receiving degree. The second best part was graduation week. Meeting your classmates, presenting your capstone project, attending lectures you'd normally pay to hear, and some really delicious chow were all part of it. Oh, and do NOT skip the Dog River Run. It was experience that still makes me smile. Masters Public Administration December 11 I completed MPA of 2015. I learned much during this time. If you are thinking of Norwich for your master's program, be prepared to wok-alot. The assignments are tough and a bit unforgiving opinion. However, the professors I had were all understanding when those life things happen and you are late with assignment-as as it is not a regular occurrence. I found all of the professors to be knowledgable. I have read some who have said they received little direction during their program. At first I was somewhat confused until I realized the intent is for you figure it out on your own. Rarely was there a problem. The first class be tough-plan on spending 40 hours a week; and I am not kidding about this. Lots of research and lots of writing. You and your APA manual become very good friends. The capstone was interesting to say the least, but like I was just glad to be done--18 months down. Was it worth it? Yes. The residency requirement is very cool--really good time. Would I do it again? Yes Recommend it-yes, if you are willing to commit the time and effort you be successful. The degree has changed the way I look at problems and develop pragmatic solutions. At residency, we were given a tee shirt that said 'Expect Challenge, Achieve Distinction. True of Military History 31 The Military History program lost their best professor when Dr Grenier left. He was the glue that held together any kind of academic and intellectual standards the program had, and now his place, Norwich is stuck with a program director who knows nothing about being a historian. Publications are the coin of the realm history, and Dr Ehrman has none. The assistant program director is unprofessional buffoon, and he even has a fake PhD from a mail- college that no longer exists. He's more interested being liked than teaching us how to be historians. I was really saddened when I heard Dr G was leaving. I was one of his capstone students several years back; he called to tell me that he was moving on to a real school because the whiners drove him out. He wanted to let me know that if I ever needed anything for academic or military career that he could help with, to call him. Sure, he was the hardest and most demanding professor I've ever had. Unlike several other professors I had this program, he actually took the time and effort to read every word I wrote and gave me dozens of pages of written feedback. I took it as a sign that if I could meet his high standards, I would arrive as a -level historian. The best students the program wanted to study under his direction. The has written several prize-winning books, and a couple of classmates had him as undergrad prof when they were cadets at the Air Force Academy. They specifically came to Norwich for their because he was
