Course Description In this course we will investigate in as much detail as possible what is involved with pursuing a post secondary education. We will consider what kind of school is best for each individual student, what the costs are and how much of those costs others can be cajoled into paying. We will try to prepare students for the tests they will need to take, the forms they will need to fill out, and the academics they will need to pursue. As our world changes and education becomes more and more necessary to finding a meaningful place in the workforce the academic decisions we make take on greater significance. As our economy changes it is not just that we need the skills a post-secondary education provides but also, in light of rapid changes in the nature of work, we also need the information gathering skills that post-secondary education provides. That is, we need not only to learn the profession we plan to pursue but how to learn a new profession if the world of work moves beyond the profession we learned in college. Some see the future as a scary thing. I think the future is a challenging place and I also think challenge stimulates and invigorates us. In this light the future is an exciting place. But our ability to meet the challenges of the future is contingent on the skills we bring with us as we face that challenge. Hopefully this course will develop some of those skills and help find out where to go to get the help you need developing the skills this course does not address. Delivery Method Prerequisites none Course Materials Virtual High School will have course materials, if any, shipped directly to students. While there is no additional cost for course materials, there is an additional charge for shipping. Students are required to return such course materials to course instructor upon completion of the course. |
