Granny's taking computer classes ;)

I had to buy a new mouse today. I guess I wore out the old one from all this computer course work. :lol:

Get gaming mouse because they are more durable. :lol:

I know that you are not gamer but durable is important to keep last longer.

I already bought the mouse today. It's a wireless Logitech Marathon. I try to get ones that are most comfortable in my hand.

I'm trying to protect my hand and wrist from future problems. I use a comfortable mouse, padded wrist rests for the mouse and keyboard, and for warmth I wear a fingerless crocheted glove on my mouse hand (sometimes both hands; I make them myself in various colors).

I did look at the gaming mice while I was shopping. They sure do look cool. :)
 
I'm done with these three classes. My next one starts Thursday.

Whew! Finished this FastForward class. I got 100 on my research paper, 100 on all my chapter discussions, 100 on my final exam, and 100 on 13 quizzes, and 92 on one quiz. I should get an A for this class.

I won't know which classes or how many I will be taking in January until the day I register, which will be the first day of class. I have to wait until then.
 
Only a 92 on that one quiz? Were you slacking that one day ;-). Congrats on your success!

To be honest, I could have disputed that grade. (They were computer multiple choice/true-false quizzes. I found and proved with the textbook that my answers were correct despite what the automatic grader showed, so the instructor gave back my points.) I disputed some of my other grades and got 100's. It just got too annoying to dispute each one (I felt like a whiner), so I didn't bother on the last one. Besides, perfection is boring, eh? :giggle:

You aren't alone to dispute the grade, so I did disputed some of grades, especially in business math when automatic grader seems not went well so my professor decided to re-check manually and corrected the problem.

Well, one of my ancestors was from Nova Scotia. :)
 
Today I registered for and started my Spring semester classes. I will be taking two full-semester courses. I might also take two FastForward II classes that start Feb. 28, if they're still available then. As usual, I'm restricted to what I can take because I have to wait until the first day of class to register.

My classes are:

Introduction to Network Administration

LINUX Essentials

Not off to a good start--the book store sold out of the textbooks. They might have more in a couple days. That means I'm already a couple days behind schedule. :(
 
I will take 2 online classes, full semester - Sociology and Accounting.

I received an email from DSS and they told me that online courses will use a lot of videos. Many of videos are captioned and she will try to work to make all videos to be captioned.

I will take 2 traditional classes - Legal Studies and Microeconomic, so they found a excellent interpreter so no issue for me.

sometimes I get lucky by renting textbook from public library because it's not an ordinary textbook. saved at least $300 this way during my college year. books for computer courses are especially the easiest to find from public library.

I'm not sure if it's same with you but in here - all libraries in Bergen County work together so it is very easy to find most of books I want to borrow. I think there are at least 40 public libraries in the cooperative network system.
 
i still in moron class i will never get upgraded to idiot class my goal to get to dumb arse class.that the class i learn how upload pics...seems years away...plod on

The problem is, my college gets its textbooks custom published for their own classes, and the technology ones change every year, sometimes every semester. Also, it's not just the book--it's the code that comes with it for downloading programs and access for the quizzes and labs. They are a one-time-use product. Sometimes the code is half the cost of the book.

I might have another student who will sell me his books (at discount) and then I can order the codes on line (for a fee). I have to check to see if the total comes out at a good price.

Yes, our libraries have a cooperative lending system, too. As a student, I also have access to the libraries of other local colleges.
