so not to copy y'alls ideas, well actually i am, is there any way that you could post the questions? or tell me where to look online for them? lol i need to start preparing
andddddd so y'all are all doing the e-presentation,
i am, just because i have NO idea when they are coming,
ohhh and one more (i swear)
how many classes are you planning on taking?
i was thinking four, but thats just because in order to be considered full time at my school i need to have 12 hours, so that would equal 4 classes (3 hours per class) but would that be too much?
Hey! I'm on a different computer right now (I'm on vaca at a friend's house), so I don't have my questions...but as soon as I can I'll post the questions I have for yah.
I'm doing the E-presentation. For sure. My semester starts super late this year (sept. 1) so I have no other option. I could wait but I'm not going to wait THAT long for the live presentation.
I'll probably take two courses. If you need 12 hours you could always take a few classes (like one or two) and then talk to your college adviser about getting credit hours for your actual work. Like, for me...I could graduate in December but I am three classes away from a media studies minor. So, I'm thinking about getting credit for my two classes that I'm taking during the cp as substitution for two of the three classes I need at my college and then count my actual working experience as internship credit for my third class (they all match up pretty close to the classes I need, so it works out). Know what I mean? Like...to get 12 hours, you could have two options....
Option 1:take three classes at 3 hours each and then make your actual job count for another 3 hours as internship course.
Option 2: (my school has this, so I'm going off of that) Take two courses at 3 hours each and then take your job and count it as an independent study course. At my school, an independent study course is a class that is either one on one with a professor and yourself or you sit in on a class, like a regular student, but you and the professor design your syllabus to match your needs. Independent Study courses, at my college, can be worth the amount of credit that you choose. So if you need 12 credits, you could take two for 6 hours and then make your work with 6 hours.
Those options fit in with my school's guidelines...so check with your school and see what they offer or suggest something like this to your adviser and they may work with you to work something like this out if it isn't always offered to students. To use my college as an example, again, they don't always allow for credit, you have to work it out yourself and purpose an idea and that's what I did. I worked out those options and took it to my advisers and told them that was what I wanted to do and we worked from there. So, don't be afraid to suggest things, either.
You want to have fun while your down there...so taking that many classes may be overwhelming. I understand needing to be a full time student but you may want to make sure that you don't have any other options (in terms of taking 12 hours) that won't make you feel so overwhelmed. From what I hear you will be working like CRAZY. and some of the courses require homework and tests and presentations (from what I gather). For me, I would be over worked if I was working as much as it sounds like we will be working and taking four classes. If nothing else, see if you can take a few classes online. Those are always a little less stressful.
