KayV,
Dual credit math sounds interesting. I totally agree with and support you idea of being able to pay cash to take/pass the courses needed.
I bet you make those goals

TMW2010,
That's awesome about your taking the GRE on the 29th! Best of luck and I bet you will do fine with your M.Ed! I am going into education for my masters degree in nursing.
Best of luck as I am SURE you are going to be "nerding it out" for the next month!

Tara -
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm down to 8 weeks left in my M.Ed. So far, I'm holding a 4.0 in the 8 classes I've completed, but it's been relatively 'easy' for me. The content that the first half of the degree has covered is information that I've had to learn and adapt to in my two years of adjuncting college courses prior to starting the actual degree. I probably wouldn't have lasted this long if I hadn't been able to adapt. The second half has been a specialization in eLearning/Technology which has come somewhat natural in my own experiences as a student in DL learning, so I've been able to put the 'pieces' together pretty well where that's concerned. I've got three more weeks in my Assessments course before I start my final course which is my research project - I didn't enjoy the thought of doing a Master's thesis in 5 weeks :p. I've got the bulk of my research done so it'll mainly be putting everything together in the format they want during the final class.
My biggest concern on the GRE is the math portion, I'm relatively comfortable with my verbal skills and writing at this point. I've re-upped my ALEKS account for giggles to help me work through the math stuff (for which I already got a bunch of credits from them used towards my BS in Psych) as well as a few of the GRE Math workbooks. It should be an interesting endeavor since I'm teaching two Intro to Psychology classes in January while studying for the GRE (and working on my own grad work). Luckily, the classes I'm teaching are blended, so I'm only in the classroom two days a week instead of three.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully

No kidding! Since discovering COSC and realizing I could be done with my BS this year...even before August...I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but excited. I'm not sure what to do after this! I'm Masters program shopping in my spare time.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
