textbooks for a few Masters’ of Public Administration courses at Seton Hall University August 24, 2009
Posted by admin in : Seton Hall MPA textbooks, new books, textbooks, used books , add a commentFiguring out which textbooks are required for class is often an arduous and tedious task, but this is still the best strategy to get your textbooks cheap, b/c if you wait to buy your books until the first day of class the cheapest ones will likely already be sold out and you may have to buy them at the bookstore at bookstore prices.
There are a number of ways to go about finding out what books are required, you can talk to a friend who took the course last semester, or try to see if the bookstore has the information… but the best way still remains, asking the professor. Given this difficult task, I decided to simplify a small part of this process by talking to one of my professors and having him give me his required textbooks for his courses. Here is the list of books that are required for a few of the masters’ in Public Administration courses at Seton Hall University; these are all of the courses taught by Professor Paul Cavanagh this semester.

What advice would you give to a new student? August 23, 2009
Posted by admin in : college advice , 12commentsBeing a new college student is one of the scariest yet most exciting times of a person’s life; going off to a new school, a place where you will be treated like an adult, where you will get to meet and exchange thoughts with like minded students/professors… For many students this is the first time in their lives when they will live away from home, be responsible for their own budget etc…
Given such an immense undertaking it is understandable that many new students will make avoidable mistakes (picking the wrong meal plan, or making academic decisions based on a false sense of security…) and all things being equal I am certain that most of us, given the chance would want to go back in time and advise our younger selves against…
Well, this is your chance! The question I am asking here is simple, what is the one piece of advice that you would give to a college freshman?
Please leave your comments below and I will be sure to get them posted ASAP!
Thoughts on Twitter and the way it impacts our lives August 22, 2009
Posted by admin in : Twitter friends, social media , add a commentIt is not an understatement to stay that we live in strange and exciting times. We live in a time when more change has occurred in the past two decades than had occurred in centuries. Not only have the past two decades seen the collapse of tyrannical regimes, and the spread of freedom (however tense) globally, but these decades have also seen a ballooning of technology, both in the influence that technology has over our day to day lives (take the cell phone, the internet, the IPod and the emergence of cloud computing) as well as the ways that we communicate. With the emergence of social media and interactive web 2.0 sites, the old ways of communication are quickly becoming antiquated. Today we expect, nay we demand instant communication with everyone around us, and as this technology develops we are likely to see huge changes in the way we interact with our friends; family; businesses; and even our doctors.
One of the leading companies in this new communication revolution is Twitter. Twitter has seemingly taken us to the next plateau in communication and in our ability to network with one another. Not only does Twitter take mundane day to day conversation and make it grander, but it also gives us an unprecedented ability to network with like minded individuals and also to communicate directly with companies and business with whom we interact, or with whom we wish to interact.
Given such a vast mandate it is understandable how Twitter might be misused by many. As someone who has been using Twitter for almost a year to communicate with friends and customers (you can tweet me at @wecomparebooks
) I must say that, it is a learning curve and I have made many mistakes along the way, and I am still learning. Here are a few recently published books that have helped me navigate Twitter better: Twitter for Business: Twitter for Friends: The Little Twitter Book You Should Not Tweet Without, Twitter Revolution: How Social Media and Mobile Marketing is Changing the Way We Do Business & Market Online and Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets
