Report of Unused Courses

Last night I wrote out a report on what courses actually apply to my degree. This particular blog entry is a bit different, it is a quick list of courses that were successfully transferred but that do not apply to the degree.   Java Programming – CPCC – Summer 2005 Introduction to Computer Science I […]

Degree Audit – BS in Psychology – Fall 2010

As I near the completion of my undergraduate career and must fill out my final Academic Progress Report I have decided to utilize the degree audit features in Banner and work with it and other documentation to create a detailed picture of where all of my credits have come from for the degree.

Recommendations for the Future of Education

Almost all schools now have an “online learning platform”, whether it is Moodle, Blackboard, Blackboard Vista (previously WebCT) or some other means of providing students access to online course content. I believe that these platforms are underused in many institutions and should be expanded to support all classes. While in-person courses are the traditional form […]

PSYC 352 Paper Graded

Just moments ago my paper for PSYC 352 was graded. I suppose Dr. “Monique” is actually intending to pull an all-nighter to get her grading done. I got 70 out of 75 points on the paper, which is about a 93, which isn’t too bad.

Procrastination: Not Just for Students

Dr. “Monique” started grading assignments in her online courses at about 5pm this evening, and grades are due at midnight. She is an […]

The Waiting Has Begun

Everything is turned in, has been for days. I have done all I can do to arrange for other semesters and as of 9 minutes ago, the Spring 2010 semester has closed, so there is 0 to do. I am not very good at this time between semesters, it feels awkward and unnatural. I am […]

Waiting

I am used to semesters being over with great suddenness and authority, with deadlines barely being met and everything falling into place at the very last minute. That last minute is 3 days away at the moment for some classes, and 6 days away for other classes. Either way there is this huge feeling of […]

Building Insanity

My Fall 2010 semester chart shows my planned courses for the fall. Looks a little ominous doesn’t it? While the courses total to only 17 credit hours, the number of courses seems to be a little overwhelming to me. As you will notice, all courses are goldenrod except SOCI 333, which is plum. This indicates […]
