*screaming*

*continued screaming*

Okay. So. My introductory Visual C# class.

The professor for that class was Alice. Alice was the person who spoke in the introductory video and the person who we were supposed to email if we had any issues.

But all of the assignments, lectures, and quizzes were written and delivered by Bob. On the youtube channel "Bob's programming academy." The quizzes included Bob's name, like "if you do X will it return the string ProfessorBob, Professor, Bob, or Professor.Bob?"

This class was really frustrating for me because it was structured in such a way that you could easily pass the class with zero knowledge of the subject - it was totally based on quizzes that you could take an unlimited number of times and we *had* weekly programming assignments but they weren't graded so there was no incentive to do them (and look, if I wanted to teach myself programming with no incentives I could fail for several years to do that on my own, I don't need to pay fifty bucks a unit for that; the reason I am in a *class* and am not self-taught is because I need external motivation. That's why I sought out a class).

Also when there *was* a problem with an instruction that was unclear in one of the videos for the assignments, or if I thought I'd done something correctly that was very much incorrect, it wasn't Alice who had created the instructions, it was Bob - in 2017 no less - and I didn't really feel like I could ask Alice for help with an ungraded assignment that she hadn't written.

So. Now. My Python class.

Today is the first day of class. Professor is Charles.

I go to the mandatory attendance quiz and it is word-for-word the same mandatory attendance quiz as the C# class, down to the final question "what is your personal email address so I can keep in contact with you after the semester?"

I look at the syllabus.

Class grade is based on quizzes. We have assignments but none of them are graded. There's no textbook, just a series of videos from Professor Bob's Programming Academy.

So I'd been toying with staying at this school and trying to take more CS classes instead of going to another school, just to try to keep my records easier to manage, but since it seems like that *ENTIRE DEPARTMENT* is five Professor Bobs in a trenchcoat, I will probably be going somewhere else (and once again trying to force myself to do projects that I already know are *good for me to do* but *useless for the class and a massive time suck*)

I should drop this class. I should drop this class and apply for the other school so that I can start taking classes there in the spring because if I take this class and then go into the object oriented programming class in the spring and it's another professor bob sock puppet and I end up taking twelve units of programming classes where all I learn is how to google answers in a short time frame (something I already know how to do thanks) I am going to fucking lose it.

Also, again: I have a Bachelor's Degree. I spent five years at a community college when I was getting that degree. I took probably a dozen online classes starting in 2005 and going until 2011 in the process of getting that degree.

THIS bullshit, this "I'm your professor but actually I'm not and all the materials were created by someone else in the department or came directly from the textbook publisher and there is no writing and there are no assignments everything is multiple choice quizzes that are automatically graded" is *dogshit.*

This is NOT how online classes worked back in my day, not even online math classes, and as much as I know adjuncts are getting fucked over by academia in general, this isn't something that these professors should be getting paid as much as they are to do. Alice checked whether or not students turned in a hello world assignment and gave a pass/fail grades for three discussion boards that were responses to youtube videos. Nothing else in the class required her input. If this is the level of instruction that students are getting then the class is already automated and the students shouldn't have to pay for it.

This is crap. This is an incredible level of crap.

MvA h/cs

Cooked up some movie & TV h/cs...cuz I can

Overall

before the timeline of the movie, the monsters had a TV on occasions. This was a rare treat which lasted until the TV set broke on its own and couldn't be repaired or got destroyed

the monsters' rec area was like the hand-me-downs central; anything the staff didn't want or need anymore went to the monsters, from those playing cards to radios to whatever. It usually came from the trash heap for Dr C's meals

the 2000s brought a little variety as a lot of people at the base made the transition to DVDs and threw out their VCR sets and cassette tapes

after the post-freedom upgrade, the base set up on-demand entertainment for the monsters

for every streaming site, every monster has their own accounts. Except for Link & Butterflysaurus (or B) who share accounts

they can all agree on sit-coms and comedies, believe it or not, some film noir or some off-the-wall random movie

depending on the sport, they all like watching a good game

Susan

down for most anything anyone wants to watch

likes period and mid-century romance/dramas like Downton Abbey, Bridgerton, Call The Midwife, Mad Men, and anything based off Jane Austen's books

was a Twilight fan back in her teens and now cringes at those memories of being on Team Edward

chic flicks: Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman, The Notebook, Mamma Mia!, Audrey Hepburn movies. Titanic and Moulin Rouge! are both fully capable of making her cry almost every time. This is a very good reason why she has her own streaming accounts

can make it through most horror movies but doesn't really enjoy them

roots for all sports teams from Cali

the only monster most willing to watch whatever BOB wants to watch

liked watching cooking shows and DIY tutorials when she was small. She'll still watch them sometimes inspite of the fact she can't easily cook or pull off most DIYs

BOB

the kids' page on streaming sites & YouTube Kids all the way!

has the kid's tendency to watch the same thing over and over again and never get sick of it

the other monsters can't watch adult films and shows with him. He'll ask questions like, what's going on during a bedroom scene or "What's a [enter any profanity of your choice here]?". He's also a parrot who will mindlessly repeat a single swear word he only heard once

sometimes you'll find him watching random stuff like a Malaysian talk show or a Julia Child cooking tutorial or some abstract silent film

you know those kids' shows that interact with the audience, like Mr. Rogers, Blues Clues, & Dora the Explorer? Yeah, he REALLY gets into them

had a kids tablet for about two weeks but then accidentally ate it. Monger hasn't had the heart to give him another one

Dr C

his pastimes include lab experiments, reading books and science papers, playing chess (via a computer versus the CPU/another player online because no one at the base wants to play), and other mentally/intellectually stimulating activities, so he'll watch something if he wants and/or needs a mental break

the other monsters tried getting him into Big Bang Theory. To everyone's surprise, he didn't care for it

has BritBox

when he's chilling, he'll watch vintage/vintage-style musical movies, particularly with good dance numbers like Singin' In The Rain. One of his heroes in dance is Gene Kelly; Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers would've been on his list, but he hasn't had a skilled dance partner offhand since his college days

likes videos like Ted Talks and Infographics Show (YouTube). He may be the most brilliant man in the world but he knows there's always more to learn

his YouTube subscriptions include dance groups and science lecturers from around the world

doesn't care much for most sports but he'll gladly watch polo and a lot of the Olympics. Tried to pass the time by reading a book during a football game once, and Link said, "Doc, if you don't put that book down, I'll throw you and that thing in the trash!". Never again

Link

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post of mine, he's a closeted shonen anime fan and he'll watch anything but One Piece

football is his favorite sport to watch. He watches it when he can

NEVER misses Super Bowl Sunday. Or at least to the best of his ability. He was very disappointed when one of his missions happened on Super Bowl Sunday

also likes WWE

martial arts: always and forever, baby!

has watched both Luca and The Shape of Water. He doesn't mind them but he got pretty annoyed when people made comparisons between him and the Amphibian Man or the sea monsters. BOB was like, "Hey, Link! Why don't YOU turn into a human when you leave your tank?"

was into superhero movies and TV series in the 2010s but jumped off the bandwagon when he thought they were being overdone. Though he still likes Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, and anything with Wolverine

thinks Star Wars, Harry Potter, and most other popular sci-fi/fantasy franchises are just for kids and nerds

doesn't care much for romances or most cartoons either

if something scares him or makes him cry, he'll try to hide it

it took him a while to be able to watch anything with Shrek after being mistaken for Shrek in the Halloween special

[a/n: I can also see him being a gamer]

Insecto/B

likes sports no thanks to Link

will watch most anything Link watches

likes some anime, particularly Sailor Moon for whatever reason

likes cartoon shows meant for older kids

doesn't like horror movies, has a hard time settling down or going to sleep after watching one

avoids animal/nature programs as some of them can be quite traumatizing

every now and then she'll be caught watching something with BOB like Bluey

Monger

watches the news every day

knows better than to believe everything he sees

watches a little M*A*S*H before bedtime at least twice a week

every now and then watches stuff like All in the Family just cuz he likes the comedic but logical political tension among the main characters

still has analog cable (antenna and all) at the farm

hates I Love Lucy because his wife had it on TV more than anything else

likes war films and a number of films about World War II. There's a few he won't watch tho because he thinks they're either badly made, too sentimental, or too depressing

likes comedies from the 1950s-60s

The President

likes watching himself on TV and videos online

likes talking smack to opposing politicians when watching videos of them, like, "In your dreams, bucko! Not while I'm large and in charge!"

comedies, comedies, comedies...and game shows

Simpsons fanboy

has an appreciation for daytime TV: long-running soap operas, talk shows hosted by middle-aged women, Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, etc.

considers the family sitting in front of the TV together as quality family time and sit-coms as an American staple

can't watch foreign language films with English subtitles. He eventually gets bored and falls asleep

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post, he doesn't trust biopics one bit. After finding out over half of The Greatest Showman was fictional, he lost faith in any portrayals of history both on screen and stage

Derek

liked watching famous news reporters and weather-folk as role models when he was a kid and as inspiration when he became a weatherman

took Susan and other girls he dated to the movies

if not at the movies, he and Susan would curl up on a sofa and watch something together, going back and forth between what he likes and what she likes

likes most sports, except basketball

Ted Talks, late night talk shows, and popular sit-coms

watches whatever catches his attention on Hulu and Max

had a very hard time watching anything with the monsters. Still does but it's not as hard anymore

Invisible Man

went to a few drive-in theaters with his wife on dates before and after they got married

Andy Griffith and Red Skelton were some of his favorite shows

yet he enjoyed some of the heavier and less lighthearted films, like Streetcar Named Desire. If he cried, he tried to not let anyone know

not much of a cinema-goer but he enjoyed taking his two older kids

liked what little he saw of The Carol Burnett Show while in prison

if he saw Mel Brooks' films, he would've loved them

von Wolfmann (my OC, a German wolfman and past monster, at Area 5X 1960-65)

having lived much of his 70+-year life away from society, he probably had no idea what TV & cinema were, let alone knew they existed

The Cyberian (my OC, a Soviet Russian cyborg and past monster, at Area 5X 1981-85)

TV became a bit of a staple in the Soviet Russian home over time, so there was a handful of shows that she liked throughout her life

she liked going to the movies with her dad/grandparents as a kid and teenager, a special treat

didn't like anything based off books. "Just read the book." She said. "No pictures but they're a lot more interesting than THIS sad piece of work"

thought period pieces were boring. More than once she fell asleep watching them

grew up with black-and-white TV, so she was excited the first time she saw color TV

learned some of her English from what little TV the monsters had and learned a bit about the USA and the world outside the USSR

probably would've been the only monster to have been a big fan of Star Wars and/or Star Trek

The Gathering

We had a great time at the Gathering in June despite nearly melting in the sun. I did some sword training and we saw dozens of men make a first-time commitment or recommitment to Christ on the weekend. Welcome those that joined the newsletter at the event.

Blogs

I wrote a couple of blogs on the research I’ve been doing recently, I showed the top one to Dr. Mark Woolmer (our history consultant and history lecturer) and he said he’d have given me a First for the essay if it had been submitted in his class which made me happy

Prayer

Books in libraries: As you saw above our book was featured at the ALA con. Please pray with us that libraries really discover the benefits of the Word for Word Bible Comic and decide to stock them all across the USA. Spanish editions: We have some potential leads to getting distribution of our Spanish editions in Latin America and Europe. Please pray we can get these books into the hands of Spanish speakers very soon!

Technical issue: We have had some trouble with the ISBN registration on Amazon and other places for the new books. Some progress has been made since last time but please pray this is miraculously sorted out very soon so it does not hamper sales.

Choosing the right foundation for a professional career in finance or corporate governance is a crucial decision. Many students today are turning to smart and flexible learning solutions that suit their busy schedules. Among these options, enrolling in a CA Foundation Online Course has become a popular and effective way to prepare for one of the most prestigious professional exams in India. This digital mode of education offers comprehensive study material, expert-led sessions, mock tests, and doubt-solving forums—all accessible from the comfort of your home.

One of the biggest benefits of a CA Foundation Online Course is the ability to learn at your own pace. Unlike traditional classes, online coaching allows students to revisit complex topics through recorded lectures and digital notes. This helps in mastering the syllabus thoroughly, without the pressure of keeping up with the pace of a physical classroom. Moreover, online platforms are often equipped with regular assessments and performance tracking, ensuring that learners stay on the right path throughout their preparation.

The flexibility and accessibility of online learning break geographical barriers, allowing students from smaller towns or remote areas to gain access to top-quality education. Earlier, students had to relocate or commute long distances to attend reputed coaching centers, which often led to additional stress and expenses. Today, that’s no longer necessary. A well-designed CA Foundation Online Course bridges that gap and ensures every student receives the same level of academic guidance, no matter where they are located.

Alongside CA, many aspirants are also pursuing company secretaryship to widen their career prospects. Those searching for cs classes near me now have the advantage of finding hybrid or fully digital programs that offer both convenience and quality. Just like with the CA curriculum, the CS syllabus can be tackled effectively through structured online programs, experienced faculty, and interactive content. This blended approach not only saves time but also provides better resource management for students aiming for dual qualifications.

Another strong reason students prefer online courses is the affordability. Without the added costs of transport, accommodation, and printed materials, online learning is budget-friendly while maintaining high educational standards. Additionally, students can access updated content instantly, keeping them in sync with any changes in exam patterns or syllabus.

In today’s digital-first world, it’s no surprise that students are embracing technology-driven solutions for academic and professional success. Whether you aim to clear CA Foundation in the first attempt or are exploring cs classes near me, investing in a reputed online course can make all the difference. It’s an efficient, modern, and smart way to take your first confident step toward a rewarding career in finance or corporate law.

So, if you're planning to shape your future with clarity and confidence, consider starting with a trusted and results-oriented CA Foundation Online Course. The right preparation now will unlock endless possibilities ahead.

Total cost of USMLE Journey

The USMLE journey is a significant financial commitment for Indian medical graduates. Understanding and planning for the full scope of expenses is crucial to avoid surprises and delays. While the costs can be intimidating, they are an investment toward a rewarding career in U.S. healthcare, offering long-term professional growth, competitive salaries, and advanced training opportunities. Strategic budgeting, early preparation, and smart choices about study materials and applications can help students manage expenses while increasing their chances of success.

The Total Cost of the USMLE Journey for Indian Students: A Detailed Breakdown

Pursuing a medical career in the United States is a prestigious and life-changing goal for many Indian medical graduates. The gateway to this dream is the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), a rigorous three-step exam that tests medical knowledge and clinical skills. However, beyond the academic preparation, one must also be prepared for a significant financial investment. This article offers an in-depth look into the total cost of the USMLE journey for Indian students, helping aspiring doctors plan effectively and realistically.

1. ECFMG Certification and Registration Costs

To be eligible for the USMLE exams, international medical graduates (IMGs) must first apply for certification through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). This process involves credential verification and eligibility assessment.

ECFMG Certification Fee: $160 (₹13,000 approx.) This is a one-time, non-refundable fee that initiates your path toward the USMLE steps.

In addition, there may be document verification and courier charges depending on your medical college's requirements.

2. USMLE Examination Fees

The USMLE consists of three main steps:

a. Step 1

This is a computer-based exam that evaluates the student's knowledge in basic sciences like anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology.

Fee: $1,000

International Test Delivery Surcharge: $225

Total for Step 1: $1,225 (₹1,02,000 approx.)

b. Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge)

Step 2 CK tests the application of medical knowledge to clinical scenarios.

Fee: $1,000

International Surcharge: $250

Total for Step 2 CK: $1,250 (₹1,05,000 approx.)

c. Step 3

This exam must be taken in the U.S. and focuses on clinical decision-making and patient management.

Fee: $915 (₹76,000 approx.)

Total Exam Costs (all steps combined): ₹2.83 lakh approx.

These prices fluctuate based on currency conversion and changes in USMLE fees. Additionally, scheduling and rescheduling fees may apply if plans change.

3. OET (Occupational English Test)

Since the discontinuation of the USMLE Step 2 CS (Clinical Skills), most IMGs must take the OET Medicine test to demonstrate English proficiency as part of their ECFMG pathway.

OET Fee: $455 (₹38,000 approx.)

OET is mandatory for many Indian students aiming to fulfill communication requirements for the USMLE pathway.

4. Study Materials and Online Resources

High-quality preparation is essential to succeed in the USMLE. Students often subscribe to multiple resources and courses:

UWorld QBank for Step 1 & 2: $419 each = $838 (₹70,000)

First Aid for USMLE Step 1: $55 (₹4,600)

Pathoma, Sketchy, Boards and Beyond: $300–$600 (₹25,000–₹50,000)

NBME Practice Exams: $60–$80 per test

Kaplan Online or Coaching Center (Optional): $1,500–$3,000 (₹1.25 lakh–₹2.5 lakh)

Total Cost for Study Materials: ₹1.2 lakh – ₹3 lakh

Students may choose free resources, but paid Qbanks and video lectures are widely regarded as essential for high scores.

5. United States Clinical Experience (USCE)

To enhance their residency application, most Indian students seek U.S. clinical exposure through externships, electives, or observerships. These experiences build credibility and help students secure recommendation letters.

Program Fees (3 months): $2,000–$5,000/month = up to $15,000

Accommodation & Food (3 months): $2,500–$3,000

Flight Tickets: ₹1 lakh (round-trip)

Health Insurance & Visa Fees: ₹30,000–₹50,000

Total USCE Cost: ₹6 lakh – ₹10 lakh approx.

This cost varies significantly based on the city, duration, and type of clinical program chosen.

6. Residency Application Costs

Applying for residency through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) and NRMP (National Resident Matching Program) involves multiple fees:

ERAS Token: $165 (₹13,000)

Application Fee (applying to 100–150 programs): $1,000–$2,500 (₹85,000–₹2 lakh)

NRMP Registration: $70 (₹5,900)

Document Processing (MSPE, LoRs, Transcripts): ₹10,000–₹20,000

Total Residency Application Cost: ₹1.2 lakh – ₹2.5 lakh

Applying broadly is recommended, especially for IMGs, increasing the overall cost.

7. Interview Expenses

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many interviews are now conducted virtually, significantly reducing costs. However, if in-person interviews return, students should budget for:

Domestic Travel (U.S.) and Hotels: $2,000–$3,000

Food and Miscellaneous: $300–$500

Attire, Accessories: ₹10,000–₹15,000

Total Interview Expenses: ₹20,000 (virtual) – ₹3 lakh (in-person)

Online interviews are more budget-friendly, but some specialties may still favor in-person interactions in the future.

8. Miscellaneous Costs

These include passport renewal, document courier fees, travel insurance, communication expenses, and other unforeseen charges:

Approximate Total: ₹30,000 – ₹50,000

These are often overlooked but important in the overall budget.

Final Thoughts

The USMLE journey is a long, demanding, and expensive process for Indian medical graduates. From exam registrations to U.S. clinical experience and application fees, the costs add up quickly. However, this investment can lead to a rewarding medical career in the United States, offering higher salaries, better facilities, and advanced medical training.

It’s essential to budget wisely, plan early, and explore financial aid or scholarships wherever possible. Many students also work part-time or take loans to fund this journey. Though the financial burden is considerable, the long-term professional and personal benefits often outweigh the costs for those committed to this path.

If you're planning your USMLE journey, create a timeline and cost sheet early in the process, stay updated on exchange rates, and look for student forums and support groups to share resources and tips.  For more details visit https://usmlestrike.com/usmle-practice-questions/

Subjects Needed to Become A CA in India

Becoming a Chartered Accountant makes you stand out. It requires a special set of skills, lots of hard work, and dedication—it's no walk in the park. This article covers the subjects you need to study in 2024 to become a Chartered Accountant in India!

Chartered Accountant in India:

If you are interested in knowing how to become a CA in India, it is a respected and well-paying career path. With a population of 1.3 billion, there are only 280,000 Chartered Accountants, indicating the exclusivity of this profession. The journey to becoming a CA is challenging and demands dedication, hard work, and talent. Starting early is crucial for achieving this prestigious designation in the shortest possible time.

Whether you come from a Commerce or Non-commerce background, you can pursue Chartered Accountancy after completing 12th grade. However, many students with a commerce background choose this career because they already have a foundational understanding of subjects like Accountancy.

This article will help you understand how the subjects you choose in 11th and 12th grade can play a crucial role in your pursuit of a Chartered Accountancy career in 2024. It offers insights into the preparatory steps for this challenging yet rewarding journey.

Subjects Required for Chartered Accountancy in India:

Explore the list of subjects required for pursuing Chartered Accountancy in India in 2024 here:

Commerce With or Without Maths:

Deciding whether to choose Commerce with or without Maths is a common dilemma for students who dream of becoming Chartered Accountants (CAs) in India. Some wonder if they need to study maths for CA and if it would be harder without a maths background. The truth is, anyone can pursue CA, regardless of their academic stream. However, students in the commerce stream often find it more suitable because of the alignment with their subjects, especially accounting.

Advantage in Accounting: Commerce students have an edge as their subjects match the content of the CA entrance test, giving them a strong foundation, especially in Accounting.

Maths in CA Foundation: For commerce students, having maths is like an added advantage, as it is a required subject in the CA Foundation exam. This makes the CA journey relatively smoother for commerce students.

Board Considerations: CBSE or ICSE board students, who usually include maths, are in a good position for CA. On the other hand, state board students have options in commerce, but those not choosing maths might need to put in a bit more effort during CA Foundation preparation.

So, although maths is not compulsory for everyone, having it, especially for commerce students, can make the CA journey more manageable. Board choices also matter, with certain boards naturally aligning better with the CA curriculum.

Science With Maths:

Students from the Science stream who have studied Maths in their 11th and 12th grades often choose the Chartered Accountancy (CA) course, bringing a unique perspective to this financial profession.

Advantage of Maths: The CA Foundation/CPT entrance test focuses a lot on Maths, giving a big advantage to Science students with a Maths background. They can handle Maths and Stats on their own, avoiding the difficulties faced by commerce students.

Self-Study in Maths and Stats: Science students, with a strong foundation in Maths, find it easier to tackle the quantitative aspects of the CA exam without relying too much on mentors or ICAI study materials.

Challenge in Law: Although Law is a challenge for every student, Science students feel more at home with subjects like Accounts and Economics.

Study Period for CA Foundation: Upon enrolling in the CA Foundation course, students get a generous 4-month study period. With proper guidance, this time is enough to grasp the remaining subjects.

Additionally, Science students with a Maths background use their math skills to excel in the CA entrance test, showing that the CA journey is not limited to commerce students. The 4-month study period provides a strategic window to master the diverse subjects of the CA Foundation course.

Science Without Maths:

Although it's not very common, some students from the Science stream who haven't studied Maths in their 11th and 12th grades choose to become Chartered Accountants (CA). This decision comes with its own set of challenges and successes.

Challenges in Accounts and Economics: Students from the Science stream without Maths may find it challenging to study subjects like Accounts and Economics, which are crucial in the CA curriculum.

Additional Struggle for Business Maths: Not having a background in maths adds an extra layer of difficulty, especially when dealing with subjects like Business Maths, Logical Reasoning, and Statistics in CA.

Despite the challenges, there are cases where Science students without Maths become successful Chartered Accountants, securing positions in esteemed companies with competitive packages. Success in this situation requires diligence and hard work, as students need to excel in all four subjects, compensating for the absence of a maths background.

Furthermore, while choosing to become a Chartered Accountant in India from the Science stream without Maths is less common and involves extra challenges, dedicated students have proven that success is possible through persistent effort and a strong work ethic.

4. Other subjects to become a Chartered Accountant in India:

While in college, students in the commerce stream often consider diverse fields like BCA, B.Com, and CA. Even after obtaining degrees like B.Com, some students opt for a career in CA, attracted by the opportunity to reinforce their accounting knowledge and enhance their self-confidence.

In CA classes during college, students come across subjects crucial for this field:

Mathematics

Accounting and Taxation

Financial Accounting

Banking and Finance

Insurance and Banking

Banking Management

Applied Economics

Business Economics

Insurance Management

Tax Procedure and Practice

Information Technology

Computer Application

Advanced Accountancy

Accounting and Finance

Information Technology and its Application in Business

These subjects help create a strong foundation of knowledge, setting the stage for a successful journey in the field of Chartered Accountancy in India. As you move forward in the Chartered Accountancy (CA) profession in India, the Accounting syllabus changes through three main stages: CA Foundation, CA Intermediate, and CA Final courses. 

Let's take a closer look at the CA syllabus at each level:

Has anyone here taken the free Harvard online courses beyond the CS ones? And if you have would you recommend? Im not gonna get the certificate so I’m not worried about price, but do you feel that they are interesting and worthwhile lectures/lessons?

[ms-demeanor]

(remaking the post because you can't edit polls and i gave the wrong options)

Alright I'm registering for classes and someone needs to talk me out of doing stupid shit but I'm unsure of what shit is stupidest.

Winter term:

I just finished an 8-week photo class that ended up being a huge investment in time just to go and shoot. However that was introductory photography and there is a 6-week intermediate photography class over winter term. I am signed up for photography. (Elective option for AA in Visual Arts)

There is also a 6-week introductory python course over winter term that I am signed up for and will be taking. I'm solid on that one, as long as I pass my C# class this term I'm going to be taking Python for 6 weeks at the beginning of the year.

Spring term:

College Chemistry Saturday class. 7am to 12pm for sixteen weeks. Lab and lecture; this school doesn't offer any chem classes that are after standard 9-5 hours during the regular week or that can be taken even partially online. Pretty sure I'm going to be stuck with this one and am configuring the rest of my schedule around being *less* miserable because of this class.

Survey of Western Art - Online, seems like a gimme. Does have a textbook but not one that I'm going to pay for. (Required for AA in Visual Arts)

2-Dimensional Design - Online, seems fun and like a gimme, Free/No textbook. (Required for AA in Visual Arts)

Object-Oriented Programming - Online, seems difficult, expensive textbook. Will probably be very necessary if I end up going down a more CS/tech path. Probably going to force myself to take this class.

Java Programming - Online, seems not unapproachable, expensive textbook. I don't particularly wanna but my school offers really limited options for computer science and I want to get what I can out of it before I go somewhere else.

Rationale for these weird combinations:

I'm applying as a nursing student at three schools and a biochem student at one of those schools (nutrition programs are apparently only for first-time students; 2nd Bachelor's applications are a lot more limited. I could apply to major in Francophone Studies at one of the schools though). Supposing I get accepted, these classes certainly won't hurt my status at any school that accepts me and the chemistry class is going to be really really necessary. This is the "i give a fuck about nutrition science and also directly helping people" path and if I go this way I'm interested in NP programs down the line. LOTS more school of the serious "I can't work and do this kind of school at the same time" variety.

If I *don't* get accepted to the programs I'm applying to, I'm going to go to a different community college and start working on a couple of AS degrees in computer junk (network admin and security management, computer and networking technology) and get some computer junk certs. I don't think I want/need a BS in compute science, this is the "practical" route of "I could finish this stuff pretty easily and continue working in a field where I have a lot of connections and familiarity with the industry but I am indifferent about a lot of it (pretty passionate about security and accessibility tho). Also allows me to keep working while I just churn school in the background, and all of the computer classes are transferable between the two schools.

Art classes: I think having multiple degrees is funney. I am currently 5 classes away from an AA in visual arts, at the end of this term I will be 4 classes away; if I take all the classes here and can take an elective over the summer I'll have a degree in visual arts. (There is a reasonable possibility that I'll continue taking bullshit classes behind the scenes to get silly degrees regardless of what happens otherwise)

Pretty sure the sensible thing is to drop *at least* photography and survey of western art and also possibly Java and 2D design. I'm somewhat concerned that if my spring term is just Saturday chem and object oriented programming I will start biting things.
