The Calendar

I bought Shannon a big desk calendar that came with post-its, and it seems to be keeping him organized. He can keep track of when his assignments are due. It also helps him organize his time and he can see right in front of him when he needs to complete assignments. So far, so good!

Shannon said that someone already quit the course! The guy basically posted saying "this is a waste of $$$ for college." He also bashed the assignments and what they are learning, which Shannon has said the same things. There are several students responding to his post on the forum saying that they understand how he feels, etc. I told Shannon that at least he isn't the only one who feels this way about the course! LOL


From what Shannon is saying, the course is geared towards those who just graduated high school, it seems to be a lot of reflection on yourself, how you would handle certain situations, or what you have learned. It sounds to me like most of the assignments are "fluff" and "fillers" as a way to rewards points to the students (that's how they determine your grade).

I guess it depends on whether or not this college is worth the reward at the end...your degree!

  2. He's going to University of Phoenix. It's an online school, so he can do all his classes at home! :)
