Posted in School on 08/16/2007 10:25 pm by enjanerdClasses start up next week and after my grade for my summer class is official, I should be a regular grad student instead of a provisional. That means I’ll get financial aid next semester. Too bad I already had to pay my tuition bill a month ago… Anyway, I’ve been getting those forms filled out and the forms to take the Professional Engineering licensing exam next spring.
The PE exam is in April, but I have to apply to the state board to get permission to take the exam and then sign up to take the exam. The application requires proof of employment, 3 references from licensed PEs, and proof of graduation. I’ve gotten in touch with 2 of my references and they’re both on board. The third is out of town, so I’ll have to wait until next week to pass the form along. Reminds me of college applications.
On the school front, I’m taking 2 classes next semester. Now, back in my day, when I was doing my undergrad, the course catalog lists the course, days, and times that the class met. The online classes I sign up for don’t have day/times listed, so it’s up to each individual professor to pick a time and notify all the students. Some teachers do all pre-recorded lectures so it doesn’t matter, others do a live class once a week, and still others might do a combination of those. In any case, each lecture is recorded and posted for students to download, regardless of whether it was a live class.
The two classes I signed up for sent out emails yesterday and today letting us know when we would be meeting. Tuesday from 5:30-7:30 and Tuesday from 6:30-8. Now, I chose 2 classes offered online that fulfill requirements for my program. I can only assume that others did the same. And yet with the 3 options, I know that at least 2 of them meet at the same time. How does that make sense?? I’m hoping one of the classes will get moved. I only emailed one teacher, so I hope they don’t both get moved.
Alright, this entry is boring. I’m going to bed. :)
