Graduate Savvy: Navigating the World of Online Higher Education (2nd Edition)

This book assists readers in understanding the real-life dilemmas law enforcement officers confront throughout their careers. The scenarios are riveting, and the discussion points force readers to consider the myriad options officers face in these dilemmas. One thing is certain as made clear by the decision points in every chapter—ethical decision-making is an extraordinarily difficult endeavor in the law enforcement profession. "Decision Point" focuses on the individual officer in the middle of each situation, while making it clear that the broader culture and traditions of the agency play a major role in helping the officer make the right decision. This text therefore provides value to a wide audience, including those in entry level through supervisory and management level training programs. On many levels, Jeff Green’s text is a major contribution to the policing profession.

We live in interesting times in the world of higher education. Access to graduate education has expanded exponentially with the advent of the Internet, creating opportunities to pursue advanced degrees that previously could not be imagined. With the availability of degree programs offered through online delivery systems, adults who have “day jobs” can now attend classes offered in asynchronous learning environments that optimize flexible use of time while offering the convenience of anytime, anyplace course participation. Figuring out how this different paradigm of learning will “fit” the needs of prospective students, as well as how to embark on a journey of graduate education, is the focus of Jeff Green’s insightful, focused, and highly practical text. By titling his book Graduate Savvy, Dr. Green underscores the need to know and understand what graduate online education is all about. “Savvy” refers to being able to grasp or understand, and when applied to online graduate school, highlights a perspective that is especially appealing to adults who are returning to the education arena. Through the well-crafted sequence of book sections and chapters, the text provides guidance and hands-on advice about how to successfully engage with the graduate education process. At each step along the degree completion pathway, readers will become savvy in the ways of online learning from prepping for each upcoming class to writing in an academic voice to moving through the capstone stages of the doctoral program: The comprehensive examination and the dissertation.

All of us are interested in finding out more about ourselves and others. Our natural curiosity of the world applies to our role in it and how we respond to it. DISC is a behavioral model developed by Dr. William Marston in the 1920s intended to identify and categorize (even predict) how we respond to our environment and each other. The strength of the model rests not only in its ability to measure and categorize observable behaviors but also in its capacity to assist each of us to exercise more flexibility with a variety of people and situations. A key component of the book is the DISC 17(c) Self-Assessment, a simple 24-question instrument you can complete in a matter of minutes. The results of your assessment are easily determined, and narratives corresponding to your specific results are provided with fascinating and fun insights into how you perceive your environment and your role in it. Perception is an entertaining yet profound exploration into human connectivity leading to reduced tension and conflict, improved communications, and expanded influence and leadership.
