I recently moved from Tucson, Arizona to Modesto, California.
I finished my Ph.D. in Political Science focusing on American Government and International Relations. I have a...
@byrdlip Unfortunately, they weren't offering that course. @slava It is a good thing I love what I am doing!! I'm enjoying the coursework and the homework. @pankaj The semester is more like three months. Yes, this is a sliver of all the readings I must do. Many of the readings are articles or online books. @miata2u I'm hoping the final statistic will be 4.0. :) @yuliya They really aren't too bad. The course actually seems pretty simple. @scott333 I'm a month into the semester and so far it doesn't seem too bad. Maybe only 300-400 pages a week and a paper due every Friday. I've already got a Master's Degree so I know to organize and the key is staying organized. @weshook Reading anything good right now?
@chevymom I'm really enjoying several of them!! It is some work but not to be unexpected. After all, I am starting work on a PhD!
@bill_d I think that is exactly what that book cost and I don't like thinking about that!! Do you know how many eegees I could have bought with $100? Or I could have put it towards a new macro lens!!
@kerristephens Not really, I mean, it's okay, but nothing spectacular...The Book of Fate by Brad Meltzer. I just finished a Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson which I found pretty entertaining. I'm thinking of reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson next, but may change my mind by the time I finish the current one.
@kerristephens Yeah, although i was pretty good at reading math text books when I was in school. My school days are finished for awhile, but I toy with the idea of going back after I retire. I don't know if my brain will still be able to handle it.
@weshook I'm certain your brain would be able to handle it. You could always start with an art course. Maybe even take a photography class!! After you retire, you won't be taking class to further your career so you can take things that strike your fancy and sound fun!!
@kerristephens True, very true, but I am the kind of geek that would probably enjoy applied statistics. I would like to go and just take whatever interested me and not have to worry about completing a degree program.
