She also got a call back yesterday from an interesting paid internship opportunity at a Sea World. We will see how that works out.

Just had to brag a little.

Best,

rebel100 Wrote:Unofficial evaluation indicates 44:
12 CLEP (thats three Clep's as HES awards 4 credits)
32 B&M (all that she earned including fulfilling the Language requirement)
So she only "loses" about 15 credits, the CLEP over the 12 they allow and a single DSST plus the 7 FEMA no one has given her credit for.

rebel100 Wrote:Oh she's really happy with it. Gives her some room for frivolity.

Tentative fall plan is:

*Expo 25
*Intense Introduction to Computer Science with Malan
*Case Studies in Global Health: Biosocial Perspectives
(she just sent the confirmation in for these three, registration is August 1, I believe)

It's funny, when you Google these courses/instructors your often taken to Amazon where you can buy one of their published books/textbooks. Or you at least find links to the journal articles and academic work they have authored. I don't really care what the detractors say. Harvard Extension offers a unique and valuable alternative to traditional learning. So happy we discovered it!
