I need 13.4 upperclass or postgrad credits to get to the highest paygrade with my district. The pay difference will pay for itself in about half a school year (based on BYU Independent Study costs) so it would be foolish not to plow through. Here are the classes I'm considering, ranked in two categories (an * notes classes I have [or may have] taken before and thus might not be eligible to take---excepting, of course, R[etakable] classes):

I have decided, selfishly I suppose, to take the poetry-writing class first, and use that as a gauge for future decision-making. Thoughts and advice welcome.
I took Isaiah and (I believe) the later American Lit class. I preferred the former, which was unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI think Kyle has taken a bunch of these, if you want his input.

ReplyDeleteI'll bet he has. Point him my way, will you?

ReplyDeleteTo Jen: Taking Isaiah was always my first choice each semester of BYU but there was always another class I "had" to take that got in the way.
