Dental treatment at US dental schools?
What are dentists' opinions on getting extensive dental treatment done at dental schools in the US (for financial reasons)? I'd also be interested in hearing about patients' experiences.Around here the dental schools are expensive. That said, it depends on what work is needed. I am sure a root canal or a crown might represent some savings, but do not go there with the intent of getting a complicated treatment done. It will take them five years to do. Remember, you are the te...

Lucas Oil Products? Anybody know?
Saw an ad today for Lucas Oil Products' oil additive (I can't remember the exact name of the product), but it sells for around 7 bucks a quart and is supposed to constitute 20% of your car's oil... the greater purpose being to reduce consumption, smoking, etc. I am leery of oil additives in general, but was so tempted to cut down on smoke that I ALMOST bought a quart... does anyone have any thoughts on this sort of thing? The guy assured me that it was okay for diesel... but I think he mi...

Online University of Maryland Online Vs U of Phoenix?
I'm looking for an entirely online BS program in MIS or CIS and I'm looking at UoP or UoM. Apparently University of Phoenix has been doing distance education longer and has a much more slick and streamlined program that is likely to go smoothly. U of Maryland is new to distance education and my have a clunky and experimental online education pilot program. Anyone have anything else to add? I will look at other schools, but I won't be interested in any programs like Regents Coll...

I´m hoping someone knows of a distance learning or internet based certification course through a UK university.

Online Math Resources
Can anyone direct me to some really useful K-12 online educational tools for teaching various subjects in Mathematics? I am most familar with the online schoolyard (http://www.onlineschoolyard.com) however, I was hoping there might be some additional sites I could check out. I am compiling a collection of useful linksThe "Mathematics Education Home Page" at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/www/mathed/index.htm MathsNet Resources page at http://www.anglia.co.uk/education/mathsnet/resource.htm...

Texas distance education ?
I am also a Texas resident looking for distance education here at home. I am a 50 year old woman who wants to finally get her education after having put three children through college. My problem is the TASP test. I don't want to have to waste three semesters learning algebra again to pass that test, to get a degree in journalism. Does anyone know an address to write to find out about DE opportunities in Texas?If you're going to be studying at home why are you so concerned th...

Wharton Mba
Is it true that graduates of the undergraduate program at Wharton do not need a master's degree and go straight to a job and make gobs of money?That's what Wharton wants you to think. The truth is that you will get the degree of success in life, and from your education, that relates to your effort. Wharton students occasionally think that, because they are there, they are the only people who will ever be successful-- and the school encourages this-- just look at the T-Shirts for sal...

Can anyone recommend training for software analyst/ requirements gathering and documentation?
Can anyone recommend training - preferably online - for software analyst/ requirements gathering and documentation? A full blown university course is fine, as is more skills-focused training that is not a traditional college course.Perhaps your best bet would be the professional societies (ASM, ASQ, SQE, etc.). If they don't offer training directly they probably have links to people who do. I would start there. Most of the requirements tool vendors offer courses, consulting, and mentori...

anyone can show me about Team Leadership Training ?
anyone can show me about Team Leadership Training ? I was looking for the most effective and practical solution so please think about it. If you take on being the TA to these four you can validate their training and then you can possibly cut down on some of your commitments a little as you will have four newly trained, highly motivated, loyal qualified Leaders.-I thought the old leadership courses were bloody marvellous because they were tailored perfectly to me personally. They w...

Can anyone give me any advice on finding a "Train the Trainer" course in the UK.

The course is recognised by Oracle, Novelll, Lotus and indeed Microsoft . If you pass a test during the course Microsft count it for MCT and MOUS instructor. If anyones interested. -Having...

High School Correspondence Class
You oughta share with us the nature of the college correspondence courses. Some of us have kids in the high school years and we know first hand that it's a different ball of wax than teaching fonix to a 5 year old. Then what about college? At least I'm interested in what kind of correspondence course he is in.We found it easier to teach our sons when they were older (we started home education in Jan 1992 when our two ds were 9 and 11 years old). By the time, they were 14 or 15, they ...

Distributed Learning vs. Distance Learning/Education ?
I am troubled by your surrender sir. While I am no fan of fads or jargon for jargon's sake, I do happen to believe that what this discussion is reaching for is a term which better defines what we are doing than "distance" learning/educating/etc. This is not to say that jargon can't be abused, as in your example, but neither do I think that the participants in this discussion are of that ilk. I know that I do not use distance education because I feel that technology and reality have m...

Texas Ged Online
On thinking again about homeschooling (NOT something I personally have the energy for, but I've seen excellent results from friends who do it) my major concern would not be about the average homeschooler, but how do you ferret out the people who merely SAY they're homeschooling, but are really abusing the concept?Each state has their own homeschooling requirements. You could certainly get away with that in some states, couldn't in others. Texas doesn't require any reporting at all, and ...

University Of Detroit Dental School, Michigan Dental Schools
I have recently been accepted to both The University of Michigan and The University of Detroit/Mercy Dental Schools for the fall of 2000. I was looking for any advice on which to choose, as they both have their merits. Uof Michigan is older and located on the campus. Of course it has the reputation of UofM and it happens to be ~$10K/yr cheaper! UofD is private so they are more expensive. Their facility (clinic, sim-lab) was new in '97 and is awesome. The main difference...

Texas Driving Licence
I leave For Texas March 2nd, I was wondering if any of you have any info on when I can apply for my Texas driving Licence and how I go about it?1. When you get to Texas, the first thing you want to do is get your SS#. K1's are allowed to get a SS# to work, but do not wait until after you get married because they will not give you one because you are considered out of status. 2. Get married 3. Go to DPS office with SS#, passport, and marriage certificate with you new last name and ask...
