So I am wrapping up my career college training in criminal justice administration and cruising towards my bachelor's degree. I signed up for the integrated seminar in hopes that since we we were all sooooo close to finishing it would be more like a big get-together, have a few laughs, exchange some stories and off we go. Wrongo!!!!! Granite State College gives opportunity, but it doesn't give away credits!
My Online Classes for Criminal Justice had been challenging so far but this one was going to be a doozey. Melding everything I had learned in the past years into a single meaningful topic, over the course of 20 pages in APA format looked like a mountain I would never be able to climb.
I now know why CSG makes you take all those seemingly less important classes as an adult learner. My online college English classes prepared me for sustained writing. Critical thinking prepared me for tough analysis and synthesis of an idea. Communications prepared me to express myself in a thoughtful and provocative manner. It was all coming together and I could feel my confidence rising. I had what it took to do this an I would see this through!
I can tell you that having that integrated seminar behind me is a great feeling. I submitted a 20-page research paper on a topic I really cared about. It gave me an opportunity to truly express myself, and show that I had obtained the academic skills a person should have when attending a true institute of higher learning. I felt like not only had I learned, but that I had become educated as well. For me, as an Adult Education Service, Granite State College delivers.
Next up: One down, one to GO!
