fox Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I know @Dulcet was a student and maybe is again - yes? How's that going, Dulcet? Anyone else? Who's taking classes? My eldest is now in regular school, which is daunting and weird and lovely and beautiful and exciting and pride-inspiring. And I'm taking a class again this semester, a 400-level Social Work class with MAYBE designs on applying for grad school in the next 50 years or so. Talk to me about school. I love school. I work as a student advisor (now) in post-secondary and it's goddamn dreamy. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

Dulcet Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Words cannot describe my happiness right now. I’ll be starting grad school in October to pursue data analytics. I’ve been in school since 2004. It’s kinda my favorite topic. I recently completed my bachelors in IT. Student advisers are why. So much props to you for taking on that role. Seriously, you’re awesome. I’m a bit nervous going into grad school as this time I actually have to get one of those gigs that actually pays money. But data science is hot so I’m not too worried. But I can say being an online student gets lonely. Lots of people hate communicating so group projects suck. @fox is your school online or brick and mortar?

fox Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Oh cool! Is it an online institution, or an online program, @Dulcet? Brick and mortar. UNBC: https://www.unbc.ca/ (My undergrad alma mater.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulcet Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It’s online at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). I would go brick and mortar but most data science programs are online and those around here that have it aren’t well established. I got to peek inside my classroom this week and I’m excited. I’ll soon be able to fiddle with datasets and I’ll post stuff here and on my site. I bought a domain but it’s under construction now but when I have stuff to post I’ll probably duo-post it here as well via blog. My first two grad classes are Project Management and Foundations of Data. I’m nervous because I tested out of stats and the basic IT crap since my undergrad was in IT. So far the people posting have at least a decade of industry experience. But I’ll be ok. I prepped pretty well these last few months. I wish you luck @fox in your graduate endeavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
