well... supose that's true...

but if it gets you a diploma with you doing nothing...

worth it?

Nerull · 01-24-2004, 08:37 AM

LOL...but not a diploma. A CPA certification. It's been a LONG time since I've been in high school.

Yep, guess I should stop complaining and just go get it over with.

Hopefully there aren't videos in this training mix, or it could get really nasty

I'd fast forward as much as possible, and keep something else going in the background. Say, that term paper that needs to be completed... that would be working on both classes, wouldn't it?

Actually, each one of the lessons is an interactive video (has audio, animation on the screen, and you click on stuff when they ask you to). In other words, it goes into a narrative about what the Back button does on your browser, has a sample screen out there with stuff lighting up while it talks, then asks you to push the Back key on the sample screen.

No term paper in this class; you just have to take the tests (and by the new legislation in place, you must pass each and every section with a 70% or higher or you fail the entire course; I guess that's why they make you do all of the modules first). In my Corporate Tax class, that is another story. We have to do a sample corporation's tax returns, including how to "optimize" their deductions (i.e. save them the most money).

Oh dear, you're doomed, Nerull! LOL! Boredom is just a few lessons away! Well, it's just one class, so hang in there!

I agree with Cloudy... you're doomed

Best advice I can give now is to stock up on pizza and mountain dew... you're going to need it

Nerull · 01-25-2004, 01:04 PM

LOL...well, the hard part is motivating myself to start. Once I sit down and start doing it, I'm actually pretty good at turning my brain off and just going with it (survival skill I picked up at work

).
