So hear my words with faith and passion
For what I say to you is true
And when you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you.
~~ Lyle Lovett
CORE Mediation Course
This was my first-ever online course, so I had apprehensions about whether I would be able to connect with the instructor and the other members of the group. However, I quickly discovered that considerable interaction was possible through the threaded discussion each week. The course requirements were quite rigorous, and the reading assignments in particular were worthy of graduate course designation. Our written assignments had to be thoughtful, well researched, and documented. I was pleased with the presentation of materials in the four weekly lectures, and Claire was both accessible and supportive throughout.

~~ Shelia Loya
The instructor was extremely knowledgeable regarding the subject matter and the online discussions were especially informative. She knew the material inside and out and I enjoyed her ability to make the class enjoyable even though none of us were ever in the same room or online at the same time.
~~ Kristi Jensen
The most helpful part of the course was learning how to communicate with people in a positive manner. I enjoyed the reading very much and found it useful. The instructor was wonderful!
~~ Julia Tandy
The reading material and resources are invaluable! This was my first on-line learning experience and I really enjoyed the entire experience. To the instructor I would say, “Thanks for all the sound advice, challenging questions, and support. I always felt that Robin was available for questions and further discussion.

Everything met my expectations and what I learned will be applicable in my
Mediation career. The sharing of individual perspectives was the most valuable. The class and instructor were excellent.

The cultural diversity dialogue with the participants was the most informative and helpful part of the class. I enjoyed the whole experience. The instructor was compassionate, articulate and quick to respond to our needs.

All of the course was informative and helpful, there was not one chapter that I did not feel was necessary. The instructor was amazing.

~~ Kendra Kinney
Great course! The lectures were very informative and comprehensive- better than other online coursework I’ve done through other universities. The online discussions were also good and more active than some other online courses I’ve done.
~~ Susan Taigman
I enjoyed the reading a great deal because it was a good review for me in new and old areas. I also enjoyed the online discussions and learned from other’s perspectives. Initially I thought the course work would be hard for me because I am an aural learner and I was afraid I couldn’t learn as well, just reading and writing. But as it turned out, I really enjoyed the reading and materials and once I was able to set up a study routine, it worked out very well for me.
~~ Janet K. Dampeer
I feel more prepared to arbitrate after eight weeks of class than I did to practice law after three years of classes. I haven’t practiced [law] for a long time so it was a great way to refresh my thinking and knowledge. I thought this class was appropriately demanding. I feel prepared, knowledgeable, and totally satisfied with the course and content.
~~Jane Saltzman, JD
This course was excellent! The assigned readings added strong context to the online discussion which was necessary to compensate for the traditional face-to-face experience. The instructor, Patrick, was great – added important commentary from his experience that contributed value to the course.
~~ Anthony Wade, Ph.D
Excellent experience! I had never taken an online class prior to this and everything was laid-out very well … easy access and application …understood all of the requirements and criteria for the class upfront … and the faculty contacts were great!
~~ Larry Larson
Excellent material… I thought the coverage of the regulations and practices of the discipline were great.

I learned what I wanted to know in order to expand my mediation practice to the healthcare field. I have used that information to do that during the past six months. The teacher for this class was excellent, and was very good at tying together the theory and the practical applications for it
~~ Elaine Dickhorner, Mediator
I put on training and do seminars all the time. This was very well done. The presenters and training were exceptional. I had nothing but a good experience and don’t know that I could improve on what was done
~~Alan L. Rupe, JD
The training was far better than my expectations! I began learning a “life” skill that I had never learned. The instructor was enthusiastic and brought the material to life.

This was an excellent use of my time and money. 5+! as it exceeded my expectations!
