That's great, askye! We don't have an equivalent of liberal arts here. I think it would have helped me work out what I enjoyed studying.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

AA in Liberal Studies is fine. And hey....DON'T not take transfer credits, bebe. Sweet, sweet, moola there.
If it's in a subject you're interested in, but you feel like you didn't get the knowledge, personally I'd ask around, see if you can find a prof for that class who has a student-friendly rep and say "Look, I took this class yonks ago, but I was in a bad place, and I didn't learn much. Now, they gave me the credit and I don't have the money to audit. Is there anyway I could sit in silently?"
Some will say yes, some no -- unless it was a tiny class, or a writing class, I would have said yes in a hot second -- a student who WANTS to learn this stuff I'm breaking my balls to teach? COME ON HERE, here's the rules.

Thanks le nubian!
Strix - that would describe pretty much every class I took. I think the last time I took a class and looked at my transcript I had more credits than I thought - enough for almost 2 full semesters ( I think). Some of the stuff was electives, but the actual academic classes...those I don't feel comfortable going to the next level unless I could redo them.
It's something that I'm going to talk about at the appointment.
Then I also have classes like my College Algebra class I failed twice. But the requirements have changed for that particular school and I wouldn't even need to take college algebra, I'd need a math for liberal arts or something.
But I want to take college algebra just so can triumph over my nemesis.

I would absolutely say yes to a student who asked this. I might secretly think that I'd never see the student after the second week of class, but then I'd be pleasantly surprised if the student did actually stay and learn.

If you need any help with it, feel free to ask.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Just checking (and I don't require validation at all), but is my post in Beep Me visible to anyone else but me? Or has everyone decided to finally MARCIE me?

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin's wife. Lots of camcer`ma to you.

No Marcie, just too much reading on the cellphone, where I don't usually post.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, I hadn't checked Beep Me. You are not blinvisible! Much ~ma for your cousin's wife, and continued dealing-with-it ~ma for you.
