CSU - Pueblo Cultural Geography Course Review - rebel100 - 08-02-2011
Just notified of my final grade in Cultural Geography at Colorado State Pueblo so thought i would share the experience.
I took this one in order to satisfy the "cultural" or "global" componenet of my BSLS at COSC. It also allowed me to do an additional 3 credits this semester so that i could receive the full time PELL grant.
The instructor for this one was super knowlegeable and very responsive. He too the time to repond to my e-mails, and did a great job critiquing my work. Teaching at CSU is a moonlighting job for him, by day he is the weather guy for local TV News!
The class had a required textbook that i picked up used for about $30 and a required workbook that was like $8, both purchased through Amazon. There were 13 writing assignments that were simply read the chapter and answere the 5 review questions at the end. I also filled in 13 Maps from the workbook. There were two 3-5 page reports answering questions related to Cultural Geography.
I took this expecting a pretty easy class.....it was more involved than I expected, the lessons took about an hour each, Maps a bit quicker. The reports were easy...but I like to write.
Despite it being a bit more invlved than I had hoped it was nonetheless a fun and interesting class. Very doable, and the instructor wants you to succeed. I am pretty strong in this subject so it might be a bit more work for some. One could bang out the work in a week or two if they needed to ... but remember CSU won't award credit quicker than 12 weeks after enrollment.
CSU pueblo was once again just stellar in their customer service and in the delivery of this excellent course.
All in all I reccomend this one for anyone that can find a use for the three LL Cultural credits.
The course ran $459, plus the $38 for the books. All assignments were submitted via e-mail.
Rebel out!

Grats! I see you also got an "A" in the class... way to go.
Seems like a nice alternative to the DSST, although a bit more pricey.
