I’ve signed up for the Fundamentals of Weather course.  It meets the requirements for a Science class with a lab (4 credit).  It starts Monday 8/24 when I get back from vacation.  I chose this class and the General Oceanography course as they both seemed interesting.  The General Oceanography class fits with my diving so we’ll see just how well I do when I take that one in the spring.

I don’t think I’ll try to take another accelerated class but who knows, I have been tossing around the idea that if I took the other two remaining classes back-to-back I’d be done at the end of the spring semester.

I just completed the Introduction to Psychology course.  I’ve got to say, the amount of reading, writing, and other assignments is just about too much.  Understand that just because a course is accelerated, it does not mean you have less material to cover.  I did pull an “A” so I don’t have that much to complain about.

I signed up for Introduction to Psychology.  I’ve decided to take an online accelerated course (8 weeks instead of 15).  Wish me luck!

I decided to see just what I need to complete my Associate’s degree so I had an academic evaluation done.  To my surprise, I am only six classes shy of my Associates in Transfer Studies Degree Program.  I also found out that if I submit a copy of my Military discharge, this should meet at least one of those requirements.  If I submit an Academic Standards Petition for Computer Competency requirement, proving I know how to use a computer :), I could remove another required class.  This just leaves me with four.  They are two science, and two Social Behavioral Sciences General Education requirements.  This played out to be Introduction to Psychology,  Introduction to Sociology, Fundamentals of Weather, and General Oceanography.  I chose the two science classes as they seemed interesting to me :)
