Going back to school
Jan. 28th, 2020 08:03 pm With the drop deadline passed and the add deadline approaching, it's as official as it's ever going to be... I'm back in college. Specifically City College San Francisco, which is free* for residents of SF, and offers certificates and associate's degrees in dozens of subjects.
My first semester course load is as follows:
- Planets (Astronomy)
- Interactive Fitness (Phys Ed)
- Intro to Technical Drawing
- Programming Fundamentals: C++
- Business Law 1
- Legal Research and Writing 1
- Intro to Paralegal Studies
Most of these classes are online, but none are self paced. The three [para]legal courses are the start of an ABA-accredited associate's degree as a paralegal, also a sort of "pre-pre-law" should I want to move on toward law school later. The other courses are things I wanted to learn, prerequisites for things I want to learn, and/or general education requirements for a degree.
* - It's almost free. I have to pay $28 per semester in registration fees. And sadly textbooks are still expensive, although there's a program to help pay for them for poor residents.
