As a Bethel University instructor, I enter each new course believing that my students are competent and capable. What they may not be, however, is confident in their own abilities to manage people or processes—which is what the MBA program at Bethel University is all about. Continue reading
When I started my work here at Bethel University, I stepped out of teaching in a 200-seat auditorium into the world of online learning. I had taught online classes before, but they were more of the “correspondence course” ilk. I had taught large numbers of students in a lecture hall where grading was based on mid-terms and finals. Bethel felt different. Bethel IS different. Continue reading

As a teacher of Orientation classes at Bethel University, I tell my students I know exactly what they’re going through. I was once a student in the Success Program – scared to death about returning to college after an absence of more than 30 years. I was a new student in Bethel’s MBA Program – concerned that I wouldn’t have the time (or the intellect) to make it to the finish line.

Bethel facilitator Charles Anderson believes in finding the good in every student. As he puts it, “If even one person believes in you, you can do almost anything.”
One of Anderson’s students, Amber Norwood, said it best in an email she recently sent to Bethel administrators:
“Mr. Charles Anderson not only taught us, but he really cared! He was truly inspirational … and gave us all feedback so we could grow. Mr. Anderson stood out not only by motivating us, but believing in us. It takes ONE person to believe in someone else — and not only did he believe in me, he believed in our WHOLE CLASS. Mr. Anderson is a blessing to Bethel!” Continue reading
