>> I can't be thankful enough about the opportunity that I received here.
And, you know, from the level of support from the staff members.
I used the G.I.
Bill here.
And there are, of course, many administrative challenges.
They were supportive the entire time throughout it.
The communication was amazing.
I'd say from the professors, at least 80-90 percent of them, had some sort of value.
Very personable.
You know, you could communicate with them.
And mine was a hybrid course.
So, I had some virtual instruction and I had some on-site instruction.
So, they were very accessible for the most part.
Of course, there are some that are, of course, going to be a little bit of a challenge.
Not everything is perfect.
But from the UMUC side, you know, I had a great experience.
I remember a couple of classes that really resonated for me.
There was a marketing course and there was a finance course.
And one, marketing, was a strength of mine.
Finance, a bit of a weakness in terms of macroeconomics.
I mean, I've never really been a numbers guy or trying
to understand the general trends of what's going on.
So, it was interesting to me because I had to work really hard
for that macroeconomics class to understand it.
And, you know, I remember the professor in the course interaction where,
you know, it was open discussion.
There was a lot of collaboration.
It wasn't a, "Well, you don't know anything."
Or, "Maybe, you know, you're operating at a different level."
So, there was really a level of professionalism in the class and from the professors.
