Good luck, sounds like you are getting there! Have you thought about doing any of the 10 day intercession courses? I know there is one in May for intro to anthropology. It gives the full 3 credits, and is done in literally 10 days. That meets the Cross Cultural course. I plan on doing that one hopefully. If not in May then a later time.

I am definitely looking into that! Maybe in december after the demester is over. I think we have a nice break. I need to get stats in by the end of the year so i can get that research class in next spring.

I guess my associate degree program in the late 80's was not so extensive. I only transferred 93 credits so needed 99 according to the current program. Micro is a repeat because I got a D in the class and I never had chemistry in college. Sooooo, I need all nursing plus stats, junior comp,nutrition, micro, chemistry, cross cultural, and music (for the new "semesters" plan. Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!!! :icon_roll

My situation is very similar to yours. I graduated from an associate degree program in the 80s. I don't need micro or chemistry, but need to take everything else. So far I've finished 5 nursing classes and am in Fashion and Culture now. I DO NOT recommend taking the Fashion and Culture class!

KOU...I heard from another student that Fashion and Culture was brutal. From what you just wrote, I guess her statement was accurate.

Thanks for that tip. It is officially crossed off my list!

Last December, I took all 3 - 10 day intercessions at WOSC. Transferred as 9 credit hours - SO SO EASY!!!! Had the complete 10 days of work done like in the first 3-4 days and then just waited for it to be over!! They also have the intercessions in Spring and summer too, I think - lots of stuff that will transfer - def a cross-cultural, music, and nutrition

Was there a lot of writing in the intersession courses? I just can envision a 10 day course NOT being tons of work. What's the format in general?

stephparm · Mar 1, 2012

Depends on the class - music was a test - open book - over every few chapters, one - two page paper of a music type article and a critiques of two musical events such as a church service, concert, school play, etc -

Phil was tests and three 2 page papers - could take each test twice to get a better grade

Soc was about the same

Can do all the work in one day or weekend or do a little each day!

MUCH less work than the classes at OU --IMHO

Very cool! I'm taking Anthropology in May. I hope it's a breeze!

I agree.....I HATE fashion AND Culture. I'm taking it now.......HORRIBLE CLASS

Well this is good news!!! Excuse me for sounding dumb.....if a class is 4 credits at OU, how can they accept one that's 3 from WOSC?

As soon as WOSC posts the classes for the rest of the year I can plan my life!!!
