Anyone else taking classes this summer?
 

Just finished 2 of my 3 classes this summer. I likely have an A in Political Science, B in College Algebra, and B in Intro to Movies.

How did your summer semester go?

BTW, it is all about Fort Hays State University online. Cheap and convenient... plus I don't have to deal with people other than the prof. Copious amounts of kick ass.

Summer sessions were the best, for sure.

Wakes always have the best food. Besure to stop by the Joey thread & try the jowl & zucchini bake

The last time I took summer classes was 1990 because I'm old. Therefore I thought my presence in this thread was important.

I'm just finishing up teaching a course and it's been a lot of fun.

Ive heard of a couple people taking the FHSU online classes this summer.

damn i need to get back into school. Maybe ill look into it this fall.

Trying to finish my last 5 hours with online classes for my undergrad at K-State.

Human Health-2 hours
Human Sexuality-3 hours

Probably going to end up with Ds (I know...), assuming I pass the 3-hour class (one of the tests didn't get completed in time or something and I have a 0 on it and can't get a hold of the prof.), not that I care. I'm working on moving to Liberty for my job and have some business to finish up at various places, so classes haven't exactly been at the top of my priorities.

I figure if I fail one, I'll just take an online BS class online at Butler CC or something... So to answer your question, it's been a shit summer semester academically.:D

Intro to Movies?

What does that entail?

Previews

Pretty cool class actually. Fulfilled a humanities requirement.

The class teaches about different film genres, who all is involved in the movie making process, the history of film, types of actual film used, setting up shots, the use of music in movies and how it can move the plot.

We watched a film per week, then had to write a paper on the technical aspects of the film we watched.

Sounds interesting.

Working on two classes as of now - Independent Study in Economics and a Promotional Management/Marketing class. Both are ok.

Those 3 week Maymester courses are a bitch. Especially if it involves statistics.

Technology Policy
Intro to Biology (lab course)

For those of you that are teachers and need credits, look no further than Fresno Pacific University. Search for classes by Steve Young. You'll never take easier classes ever. Really affordable too.

Glad to hear your classes are going well. Is this the part where I get to give you shit for getting a B in Intro to Movies? :)

I am soooo finished with classes for good. I don't miss school.

I'm actually sitting in our Student Center waiting for my 11:30 class.

Taking a 3000 level History course and Contemporary Math - level below College Algebra -highest level math I need for my degree.

Sitting with A's in both with a week to go.

what is your degree?

I took this summer off to get moved into a new house and get my mothers house sold. I carried a 4.0 in the Spring semester though.

I've been going to classes every M-Th evening since 5/24/2010. For the next 8 weeks, I have Wednesday nights off. That's our Gen Ed class, and the English Comp I class I'm taking is an online course. I will have classes through December 1, 2011. After a 10 week externship (job shadowing program), I will graduate with an AD on February 12, 2012. I'm already working in my field, so that will count as my externship. :)

If it involves contemporary math and a 3000 level history course, it's probably something with a bad job market.

I'm thinking history or international studies or something like that.

Secondary Education, Social Science emphasis.

I hope you find a job. Are things better for secondary education, or is it dismal across the board?

Man, when I started, there weren't enough teachers to go around.

Now, even the big districts are cutting.

I have a huge advantage - I'm doing my internship and student teaching at the HS I graduated from. I still have a ton of contacts there and within the district, and it's one of the best in the state. The district takes care of their own, so to speak.

So basically, I'm looking at this as a year-long job interview. Build a good relationship with those in the building that don't know me, and hope for the best.

Just a matter of a position being available. Good thing for me is that I've heard of a lot of History, Civics, Psych, etc teachers saying this is their last year.

Worst case scenario is that I at least have a college degree. I have a lot of contacts that could get me a corporate training job if need be.

Just going to work hard, and hope for the best.

No summer classes, but I have a VB.net class starting up here in a few weeks. It's for an MS in Software Engineering.

Sitting in microeconomics right now. The final is a week from today.

All-weather systems.
