Is anyone taking online courses this semster? I am taking 2. The first is Anatomy and Physiology 2 through Ocean County College and it's a prereq for the nursing program I want to apply to. My second is a grad level biology class through Harvard Extension. I just can't seem to stay away from that college hilarious That class totally won't count for anything I need (unless I end up going for a master's with them...which is always in the back of my mind!!) Anyway, I'm also thinking about doing ALEKS Stats to prepare for the DSST exam. A full plate for sure, but I seem extra motivated this semester, so we shall see how it goes.
Who else??

Hi Jennifer,
I'm only taking one class, International Terrorism. My last class to be exact for my BSLS with EC. It actually starts in January for 8 weeks. I'll be so happy when its over. I think I'll take a couple of months break before starting on my Masters.

I took and finished an 8-week course at UWF for my employer, EVT 4380 Methods of Teaching Career and Technical Education for Health Sciences; and am now taking another 8-week course at the same institution, EVT 3367 Career and Technical Education Evaluation (testing and assessment methods).
I will have a few months off and then have another employer required course at UWF that will start in March of 2010 for another 8-weeks. EVT 4562 Introduction to Career and Technical Special Needs Education.
All four combined will provide 10 credits that hopefully EC will accept.
Looking forward to the break in between so I can get back to DSSTs. I need more upper level credits to go toward the BSL at EC

Harvard Extension does look fun. So many schools, so little time 
If I can get through ALEKS Business Stats (pre-req) in time, I am going to take Quantitative Methods at EC. My recently-completed Managerial Accounting class was a good start towards the Principles of Finance DSST, so I will probably do that in January. I never learned algebra, so ALEKS for that, starting in December, if I can handle the load.
I have DSST Org Behavior this coming Monday. I'm looking forward to the exam; I know the subject well and have been preparing. I expect to push my GPA over 3.5 with it

Hey Jennifer! I am thinking about Managerial Accounting here at the local community college this (next?) spring to get it out of the way.
I was wondering - if you're gonna take Aleks Stats, why not just complete the course through them? I am curious about using Aleks as prep for the DSST test. Can you explain the logic to me? I have Stats coming up on my radar and really value your opinion. Thanks so much!!

Kelly, that's what I would do but the school I am applying to would be confused.

Oh, got it. You're the best, Jennifer. I know it's been said before but it bears repeating - you've been such an inspiration to so many of us here. Thanks!

I'm taking 12 hours from University of Arkansas at Little Rock this semester. I have two semesters left if I can pass my four remaining exams: Speech, College Algebra, Western Civ II, and Spanish. I passed the Western Civ II before, but didn't pass the college essay. I'll have to decide if I should take just the essay or try for a higher score on the CLEP (they use the CLEP score to determine the essay score somehow, :confused: ).

I think I broke something in my head trying to comprehend an essay for CLEP Western Civ. :confused:
I start my teaching methods courses in January and could not be more excited, even if it will cut into my substitute teaching time. Because these are graduate-level courses, though, I'm a little intimidated by the final projects involved.
I'm hoping to have CLEP Biology in the bag before the new semester starts.
