K, so I'm getting ready to go back to school, and move towards an accounting degree. I'm looking through the course schedule, and I'm required to take a class called Introduction to computers. Now we'll just forget that I've been using programs like MS Excel, Word, Powerpoint since they were first made. In fact, I was using their predecessors. And we'll forget that I find it completely insulting that I'm required to take this stupid class on subjects I figured out on my own when I was just a child. I'm still required to take the class.
I've learned to swallow my pride, when I look at the course catalog and guess what I find...
This course, named Introduction to Computers, isn't offered very much in a classroom setting. No, this course is almost exclusively being offered ONLINE!!!!! How can you have a class called Introduction to computers ONLINE??????
AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT SEES HOW BADLY THIS GOES AGAINST COMMON SENSE?????

CK

P.S. I like Latinas...
...And apparently Asian Ladies as well...
....If only there were someone in these forums that was in an Asian country that could import some of them here...

I can see requiring the class because unlike you there are people who haven't used the programs. Apparently the irony of the class being online only was missed by the powers that be.

My buddy, who I just told this to reciprocated with his own story:

"That's pretty bureaucratic.

The only thing more bureaucratic that I've heard: Today, my
sister-in-law called my wife to complain. She was trying to set up a
meeting with doctors to discuss their mother's rehabilitation from her
hip injury. The person she was talking to informed her:

"I only handle the time of the meeting. You have to talk to someone
else to figure out the date.""

See if you can test out of the course.

Yeah, that VA college money rocked the house! Too bad Austin got so expensive, I lived in an efficiency and it ate half my check.

What is the rate for ACF VA full time status nowadays? ACF means Army College Fund.

Just remember, you marry a foreigner, get ready to pay INS some major money. Most latinas already have cash though, and work permits are fast in issuance.

After I was laid off at the end of 2001 I decided to go the the local Vo-Tech/community college to take a few courses and I ended up having a rather frustrating argument about my having to supply a high school transcript. Even after getting her to agree that non-traditional students did not need to supply a high school transcript and that I had graduated 29 years earlier she still insited that I need the transcript!

I left and called back the next day and got someone that actually knew what they were doing.

That's kind of like how the front of your phone book says "call this number" if your telephone doesn't work.

Call this number, eh? Friggin retards...

Yeah i had to take an intro to computers class too, I thought about testing out but then you get no credit even though you get credit for taking it. It actually worked out pretty good because it was 8:00 in the morning so I usually just slept or finished work for another class. Sucks if you have to take it during a useful time of day though and having it on the internet is kind of assanine I mean how do you use the internet if you already haven't learned the equivalent of what they teach in intro to computing.

I had to take somehting like that. I even took the scond one when I need one more class to fill out my schedule at the end of my BS as I knew it would be an easy one.

True story here. For my last class to get my MIS degree, we had to do some sort of project for an outside company. One guy in my group, who was also getting ready to graduate with a Management "Information Systems" degree, was so much of a dunce that he didn't even know what a zip drive was. This from a guy in a computer related field! I was so stunned that I almost laughed in his face whenhe said that. Plus, he couldn't even format his part of the powerpoint presentation correctly. He had bullets all over the place and none of them lined up with each other. Naturally, that was the one part I didn't have the time to check over.
