Classes

So, I'm thinking about taking

Creativity & Innovation: Gaining the Edge
Marketing You
Entertainment Show Production

Has anyone taken these classes before? How did you like them? Pros or Cons?

I'm taking Marketing You right now and if I didn't have to take it, I wouldn't be. Don't get me wrong, it provides you with a lot of useful information and tools to use for the "real world" such as networking skills...but it's a 4 hour class that I'd rather be spending at work and I've noticed that most of what is said in those 4 hours are things that could be said in under 2 hours lol. Aside from that, we're given quite a bit of outside work and I'm finding it very difficult to get the assignments done because when I'm not in class, I'm working. It's possible to get it all done (I'm taking two classes right now) but it really does soak up every bit of your time! Especially if you don't own a car. On the positive side, it forces you to go out there and talk to people in higher positions which could help you if it's something you normally wouldn't feel comfortable doing. Personally, I could do without the class.

One of my roomies took the creativity one and absolutely hated it. I took Corporate Analysis and while it was lonnnng, it was very easy and somewhat interesting.

i have to take some in order to remain a full time student for college to stay under my parents med insurance.. any ideas on the least time consuming/boring haha

I'm surprised the creativity one would be boring!

I was told by the cp representives that came to the school to ONLY take 2. It could get kinda nerve wracking since Disney does work you a bit!!

I really want to take the Leadership Class, I'm always quiet, I could use some more leadership qualities - also Speech class. I need that so badly haha. I'm a good writer but I have some sort of speech problem when I talk. I have this weird noise at the end of my sentences that I don't notice while I'm talking but everyone else hears it. It really sucks. My sister always teases me for it lol

I took Corporate and LOVED it - highly recommend if you're interested in Disney history/trivia.

You can only take two at a time anyway... that's funny if that's how they worded it. A regular program can only take 2 period. An advantage program can take 4... 2 sessions of 2 classes.

When do the classes usually start with the Spring programs? Will you be able to take any if you are doing the Spring Advantage Quarter program?

LoL, yep that's how they worded it, someone asked about it and that's what they said.
