Too early to consider a graduate certificate?

Well, on the topic of adding stuff to a graduate program of study, I’m about to contradict myself. You CAN add stuff to a graduate degree program, primarily through the use of a graduate certificate to take up any elective spots, and if correctly placed they can enrich the overall program. I am seriously considering […]

100 Days

There are now 100 days remaining of my undergraduate career. About 92 of those days are active academic days, the remainder are the “rest period” between final exams and commencement. The rest period allows for final grading as well as allowing the registrar to finish “checking out” the degrees so that the diplomas may be […]

The movie involves […]

Early Grade Madness

So far in this course I have 2 grades, an autobiography discussion post and an extra credit assignment which involved replying to the instructor’s message. GITI’s calculation of such grades is a bit imprecise.  If 100 is an A+, and 92 is an A, what is 600? In this particular course the grading is based […]
