Correspondence courses with local college, while I'm in high school?

We Answered:

The best way to find out is to inquire at your local colleges. Make certain that they are properly accredited and so is the classes that you will be taking./

Is anyone out there doing school courses through correspondence studies?

We Answered:

I always found correspondence courses rewarding because I can do it at my own pace. I only took two during high school...health and history of world civilizations. They both required a huge amount of reading...but they were really easy because all you had to do was regurgitate the reading into "fill in the blank" style worksheets. Then you took the self tests in the back of the book that came with the answers so you could check yourself. At the end of the course, you had to go to an actual classroom and take a final exam that was an exact copy of the self tests...so all you had to do was memorize the self tests! Seems pretty cake right? It was, however, I learned so much because it wasn't stressful like other high school classes at school. I highly recommend these courses to anyone as a quick and efficient way to get your credits.

You said that you are losing your motivation with them...perhaps you are in too many at once? Like I said, they are more reading than you will probably ever do in an actual high school class, so it is wise to have the time to do every bit of the reading, thus taking them one at a time. It is wiser because you could finish one course in three weeks and then move on to another course and finish two in six weeks rather than two in three months otherwise!

Also, split the reading up during the day...take breaks. Maybe wake up sooner to do a bit of reading and then do more reading at night....this way you have most of your day free to do whatever you want and it won't feel like you are doing schoolwork at all!

Best wishes to you! = )

High School Correspondence Courses?

We Answered:

It depends on where you are. Talk to the counselor at your school. He or she will most likely know the best options. Here is one site, but I don't know how credible it is.

Kelly Said:

Can anyone get me a list of all high school courses?

We Answered:

Courses offered depend on the district or school offering them. The way to find out what YOUR school offers is to ask them for a course catalog. Also find out which courses can be taken through correspondence. Math and history courses would probably be fine. Language courses would be difficult and chorus or band impossible. The counselor at your school should be able to tell you.

Taking high school courses in university?

We Answered:

Spend your time and energy on getting great grades where you are.
Transfer students are evaluated more on how they did at University Level then on the High School marks.
