hm

I went to basically the equivalent of a community college in the US. A bachelor program is 4 years so I’ll have 6 years of education total

why 6 years? doesn't your credits from your associate transfer over?

study business and you could have an international career... being proficient in two languages is pretty impressive on a resume.

Only some, like 1 core course plus electives. They are from different institutions and the psychology clases are ever so slightly different that they don’t apply fir transfer credits

I've always wanted to study psychology. When I got a bit older though I decided I also would love to study early childhood education. So I don't really know. Maybe both if I can? College is kinda out of the question for me right now though...

I believe it. Universities will use technicalities to ensure you have to continue paying.. Top dollar for tuition. 50-100k salaries to tenured professors. While adjunts are making $2000 per class... But I don't like discussing politics

Yeah. I googled that and I'm feeling like the Sana emoji that I'm too lazy to find.

No cause you’re right, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m doing online classes right now and they’re still expecting us to pay all these extra fees and the same tuition price, and I’m living an hour away from campus. I’m not using any kf these facilities but still have to pay. Also the frustrating thing is how often classes are canceled. I’ve had three classes canceled in the last two weeks. We only have fourteen weeks like wth

When I had online classes at my university it didn't have anything that could be cancelled since it was basically entirely text and assignment based. Write 5-page paper. Do you discussion questions. respond to classmates. But I did have this horrid 50 question multiple choice exam that focused on bulls**t that was akin to a neuroscience class when we were studying intro to psych. I've taken so many classes in psych since and most of them focus on theories not which receptor is responsible for the transference of information and... well you get the point. It was almost as dull as my cells and organisms class. My psych classes that semester were boring, but my marketing classes were exciting. Go figure.

Normally I’m excited for psych classes but its getting to the point where it’s repetitive. We have assignments too but thats on top of the zoom lectures, they’re cancelling online classes and you have “extra time to work on assignments”

how bad are the assignments?

 

[athenaaa]

Lots of papers and presentations. Some discussion boards which aren’t bad

I'm assuming since its zoom that you have to present on zoom?

Sometimes. Or they’re pre-recoreded and uploaded to YouTube

I've never done the prerecorded presentation. I've had to do recorded group work though. 2 hour mock group sessions led by students. Time goes faster than you'd think.
