Akron kicked me out about this time last year. I had taken some classes at Tri-C, like Russian, which has never been offered at U. Akron while I’ve been a student there. I also took my calculus classes there (calc 1 to get a refresh, then calc 2). Because of this, Akron thought, “I left the college and wasn’t interested in a degree.” Either that, or they were jealous I took classes at another school and didn’t get their permission.
No biggie. I figure U. Akron was going to reset my degree requirements and with that possibility, I figured out what classes I needed to finish up my general education requirements and took them at Tri-C. I saved a good chunk of money (Akron is about $300 or so a credit hour while Tri-C is about $75).
I checked my U. Akron status and they transferred everything over and even gave me some junior year credit for the film class I took. So my general education classes are complete. I’ve got a stats class left to take and the rest are computer science. The estimate is 9 or 10 classes, depending on if I can stay under the old computer science contract or not (probably not). If not, then it will be 10 classes – they added a core computer science class to the mix. I don’t mind. It’s good for me. I plan to be back in class for the summer session.
Hey, by any chance were you taking classes at Tri-C, western campus, Tues. and Thurs. in the Fall of 09? I was teaching the IT Computer Security course from 4-6pm and I swear I saw someone that looked like you in the parking lot sometimes at 6pm. – Jack
Hehe – Thursdays, yes. I was taking a Film Appreciation class at the Western campus on Thursdays. I think class started at 6pm and if traffic was bad I was usually rolling in right at 6pm. Otherwise, I tried to be there around 5:45pm-ish.
