BS Degree:

60 General Ed
30 Music Ed
30 Concentration Ed

To graduate in 8 terms, or 4 college years, each term you need to sign up exactly like you said:

2-3 General Education courses
1-2 Music Education course(s)
1-2 Concentration course(s)
______
total of 5 courses or 15 credits

If you are great at essay writing and learning very quickly, you can take the accelerate route and sign up for 7 courses

each counts as 2 credits, so you have 14 credits, then you take essay exams to have +1 credit for each of the 7 courses

7 accelerate courses (all 1-week term)
+1 x 7
______
total of 7 courses or 24 credits all in 1 term.
It is intense that's why the 1 week after your 1-week term you have to do independent research and complete the essay exams.

what an interesting idea.

EDIT: Can you PM me with some specific details on it, got lost with all the details.

Another student

I will try to do later tonight when I am free.

So I can't pick my Math/Science classes yet until someone helps teach them?

KT&T

I don't understand what you mean but Algebra and Geometry are offered right now.

Next term I will teach trigonometry and someone hopefully will teach Pre-Calculus.

Not sure from the context of your post, do you like math or prefer no math? I'm leaning toward the latter.

EDIT: oh yes you can only sign up what is offered. I am teaching Chemistry and Biochemistry next term, also maybe Psychology or Sociology.

HausOfGerard

Algebra ll
Geometry
Billboard Hot 100
Electronic Music
General Studies

Is each term a year, or a semester?

KT&T

Each term is a semester which is 2 weeks, we start the next term about 3 days after the first term's final exam deadline.

I don't think I could be a student

but if you need someone to teach music for the decades of 80's and 90's/Metal/Rock & Alt ( I know k-pop and j-pop has already been taken

)or something like that I could help with one of the classes

This is really cool might I add.

HausOfGerard

I can't wait to see how this goes

This might get messy considering we all live in different Time Zones

The courses are not taught live, plus we have different ways of communicating: blogs, wall posts, PM, and this thread. All students take the same exam so it's up to the students to utilize the information provided. Professors should be there to answer questions on the materials of the courses.

True. After each lesson, do we get practice problems we can go over with the person who's teaching before we get the exams?

KT&T

I don't think the time zone differences will be a problem, we have a very flexible 2 week term period with about 5 lessons.

The 6 to 10 lessons should be only for hard sciences and mathematics.

HausOfGerard

All my questions probably have answers in the rules

Why are there so many Science courses, and yet the Math courses don't even leave High School level

Clarify for me, you want to be professor for those classes right?

I think we need a Economics professor, I haven't taken one in college only in High School.

What economics will you do...macro or micro?

Hey you need to let me know which format you will use to teach: blogs, PM only, thread posts, or mixed?

eeeekkkk idk

the amount of options here are too much for my brain. i could make a general thread describing the class and have general overviews when i've made a lesson available on a blog, it sounds like my best option, and students can just discuss things with me one-on-one via PM.

i'd need either a list of people who have signed up or the people who want to take the class to PM me directly saying they want to take the class so that i can put them on the admitance to the blog posts.

or should i just make the blogs public completely?

help

KT&T

I just thought people didn't like math

so I didn't include Calculus, Linear Algebra, or Differential Equations

I can teach Linear Algebra and Calculus.

Each lesson is required to have an open ended question that pertains to what a student just learned; the question should have no right or wrong answers but try to make student think. There is a short Midterm to prepare the student for the Final.

You might communicate with your peers that's the point of the course. Also the professor's evaluation of the student's performance can off set a bad score to a good score and vice versa.
