Ok, is it just me, or is it annoying as heck when a business "joins" the forum AS THAT business and then JOINS THE THREAD where we are trying to have unbiased discussions? Can they at least be under the radar? I get it, you search your company- you want to right the injustices of the world....I won't name company names- because clearly they search their own names here- but there are 2 that just need to....well, I don't know what they need to do, they need to quit creepin' (BTW, my child told me I'm entirely too old to say creepin, but it just feels right lol):roflol:

Is there a process to talk to someone at tesc about a mentor? We have a real cowboy. 60% drop out rate in the first week.
I expect them to defend their mentor since they hired this person and do not want to look bad but some folks have had to alter their education track because they dropped.
I have seen drops before in other ol courses but this is excessive.

Question guys....but first a little background.

I'm currently working in Florida, but would love to move back to Central Indiana as it's home and I own a house there. I planned to leave anyway in early May without a job, my wife has transferable employment. However, a job I've always wanted just opened up there and I had a phone interview and I'm now among three finalists for the position. However, to get the job I need to do a face to face interview with investors.....etc

I have three options. 1. Go up there and risk the waist of time and money (its 900 miles away) but possibly get the job. 2. Take myself out of the running altogether. 3. Explain the situation and ask if another, more in depth phone or skype type interview would suffice, but make it clear that if absolutely necessary I can come in. I'm not going to lie, money is tight and very much a factor here, but I don't know what to do. Would you take the risk?

Also, as previously state, I've informed my current employer I'm leaving in early May. If I was offered the position, I'd need to leave mid March, ie...3 weeks. I'd hate to do this to him, as I respect him very much, but my feeling is in the current economic climate, I need to take care of myself first and foremost and not let overt loyalty cloud my judgement. Ack. Tough but exciting decisions.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

I am studying for Humanities and am ready to take the Peterson's practice tests...but, when I went to the Inspire website (INSPIRE - Indiana's Virtual Library) it would not let me sign in so that I could get to the FREE Peterson's site. I have always used the Inspire avenue, so I emailed the website and they said my account was deactivated because I live in North Carolina. Does anyone have a NC way to get to the Peterson's site or another website I could go through? I tried going through here...http://www.nclive.org/?q=loginpage ...but I couldn't find any links to the P tests.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!! Thanks so much!

Many blessings!

Has anyone used the instant cert study guides? They give you flash cards to answer with questions which are tailored toward the class you are studying for. They say they also give sample questions. I was wondering if this really works or is it a waste of money. Is it better to just get the free guide and study the txts they recommend?

I just want to thank everyone for all the help you have unknowingly given me. After spending many hours lurking on this forum, I have finally put together a good plan for finishing my degree. Because of all of you that post here, I know which courses and tests to take to finish my degree, and I should have it done by the end of this year. I took my first Straighterline test (Macroecon - 39/40!) yesterday, the first step to me finally finishing my BS. I'm sure I'll have some questions in the future, and I know this is the place to find those answers. But right now I'm just happy I've finally started the ball rolling. Thanks again.

Hello guys/gals.... I was just wondering would there be any support for the current class(Circuits & Electronics 6.002x) being offered via MITX? Either via IC, Support Group or official thread? There will be weekly assignments, test, quiz's etc... Although, not a degree, a MITx certificate would look very nice on anyone's resume... Any current plans for help/support with this class? From what Ive read on various blogs the general consensus is that this class will be difficult.

MITx:

If anyone who has taken this exam could provide some advice/areas to really focus on during the week prior to the exam I would appreciate it. I've been studying for this exam what feels like forever (a month) and still feel unprepared.

Thanks for your help!

I am about to enroll for the only class that I need in order to finish my BA Natural Science degree from TESC. I have used the search and read numerous posts about this particular class. I would like to know if some of you that have taken the class took the "Online" or "Guided Study" version and if you had any advice as to which way I should go? I believe I read were Lindagerr got somewhat frustrated in the online discussion forum assignments due to some of the other student's postings.

In short, should I go with online or guided study and why?

PS I'm not short of motivation and I typically over prepare and over-work myself to make sure I get an 'A' in any course. That said, it is particularly important that I receive an 'A' in this course because it will be the only course grade that is figured into my TESC GPA.

I'm leaning towards guided study at this time but feel free to persuade me if you feel "online" is the way to go.

Thank you.

Ok, so for the first time in 3 years of taking online classes I was just informed that I will need to have my mid-term and final proctored through Proctor U. But this is just for one class as my other classes don't require it. I wasn't informed of this prior to registering for the class. I don't have a webcam and now I find out I have to give Proctor U access to my computer. I don't like that idea at all! I do all my financial transactions and work business on my computer and I have multiple firewalls, intrusion protections software and hardware to protect my computer from outside access, why would I want to allow people I don't know to have access? Why do they need access to my computer? I can consent to buying a webcam and allowing them to watch me, but accessing control of my computer is not something I'm willing to do. Has anyone had any experience with Proctor U? Does anyone know if they will just do the video portion without accessing my computer? If I do the webcam portion can I get rid of the box showing my picture and their proctor looking at me? I have no desire to take an exam with someone watching me in the corner of my screen that would be very distracting to say the least. I have emailed the instructor to see if I have any other options, but in the meantime I thought I would see if anyone here has any advice.

Thanks!
