Hey dolls, I know there are some of you that are very curious about my Kaplan experience so far. I am currently done with my very first term. Now I did update you on week 7 and also right before I started. If you didn't know there are 10 weeks in one term at Kaplan and you should have at least 2 classes you are taking.
For my first term I had College Composition 1 and I also took Preparing for a Career in Early Childhood Development. Before I go any further I am going for a BS in Early Childhood, just to refresh your memory! If you would like the entire breakdown of my degree plan please let me know and I will gladly post it, for me before choosing Kaplan I couldn't find it and never really thought to ask about it.
My instructor for College Comp was Alicia Rominger, and of course this class is a writing class and when I started I really didn't like writing because I had such a hard time with it in high school. But throughout these 10 weeks I have learnt so much about writing and I also received an A in the class which is a first for me! My professor was very thorough and had a good sense of humor but also cracked down on all of the important stuff. None of the assignments that were assigned to was were too overwhelming. They we practically perfect. You didn't have to write a stellar essay and she didn't expect you to know what you were doing either. I was extremely thankful for that. Discussion was always great and the journals every once and awhile was a good way to let off steam, for myself personally.
For my Preparing for a Career class my professors name was Kenneth Cline. I really enjoyed this class a lot! First off my instructor was so hysterical and really always had great conversations with us as a class. He made things easy and challenging. When we had to do assignments he was always there for us and explained everything very thorough. His class was just amazing and also such an eye opener for me to some things. His class was another great class!
I really enjoyed both classes a lot and honestly they were both my favorite so far. Yes they are my first 2 but I felt like they were both useful and I actually did learn something from them.
Now moving onto my education advisor, she is no help to me. I literally email her all the time and I receive nothing back and then weeks later I get a phone call that I somehow missed and then when I call back I get nothing. I am calling during her normal work hours and I don't know, she hasn't been very helpful to me.
The financial aid department hasn't been very helpful either, I received a loan to take care of all of my tuition but they were saying I won't get it unless I filled out this paperwork, that I have filled out a million times and they kept losing it on their end. So that was extremely frustrating to me. I finally got that figured out and now I need to fill out my 2015-2016 FASFA but I haven't gotten around to it yet. But they haven't called me nagging yet anyways haha.
Well guys I know this is an extremely long post on my life but hey I haven't done one of these in a few weeks! But as always I will talk to you guys later. Go watch some of my videos and give me some love.
