  1. Biology Spring 2010

    Our college accepts BI 101 or BI 55 as a prerequisite for BI 103 (A & P). BI 101 has a lecture and lab and is worth 4 credits. BI 55 is a little over an hour twice a week with no lab, and is not...

  9. The harsh reality sets in...boy have I made a mess!

    My cousin put herself through college a few years back and she had a goal to graduate with a 4.0. She got a B in one of her classes and retook it to get an A. Perhaps you could retake what you need...

    I am beginning my prereqs at our local community college this spring semester. It will take me 2-3 years to chip away at the list as I am only taking one class per semester. There are several...
  13. Have you ever heard the expression, "If you have a job you love you'll never work a day in your life"? I have five children, and I don't want any of them to be miserable in life because of choices...
  14. Imortance of Order of Prereqs

    Yes, that's how it is at my community college, too. I'm in no hurry to finish (hence the snail's pace of one prereq per semester) as my youngest children are only 5 and 8 and we homeschool. I really...

  19. What to do with this empty bank account?

    Well, I don't know if this will help much, but if you have a couple hours per week to spare, you could donate plasma. It's a bit of an unconventional way to make extra money, I know, but I make...
  20. CNA Red Cross training?

    There is a Red Cross chapter about an hour from me that offers a class. Their program was about 6 weeks long. And it is cheaper than through our local community college. I think it was around $800...
