For my next class, I enrolled in an online math class; figured it would be short and sweet, get it over with in the summer! With the heat here, we stay indoors a lot anyhow.... so..... but had I known, I might not have enrolled in this class!!
The course itself = $273, and financial aid covered that :) But then all the little things crept in. After all the information arrived (which of course was AFTER I enrolled and paid my tuition), I found I didn't have to purchase a book, but the online class access fee was $42.95. On top of that, I was informed that I had to have a TI-83 calculator! And of course, those are $100!!! But there's a place that rents them for $9/month. Ok, that's do-able!
The said calculator arrived today. Signature Required meant a trip to the post off (which was good, because I had two things to ship out...... ) When I arrived home and opened the package, to my surprise, there was a "gift" included in the package... a No.2 Pencil with eraser cap, and a 6" plastic ruler (watch out IRC fellas, I can now take measurements!!! hahahah) By the way, there are more commands on this thing than I know what to do with! ~~grin~~
The class was supposed to start on June 1, but me, being an eager beaver, wanted to get a jump on it, and started on Sunday, perusing and learning how to use the online tutorials and such. By Monday, I figured out where the homework assignments were being stored. So I got the first one done. To my disappointment, when I logged back in on Tuesday, there was a new assignment posted .... and an instruction for me to retake the first homework assignment. UGH!! I cannot get ahead if I have to keep going back!!
Is it August yet ???????
HUGS to everyone!
