Gen Eds at the local community college are a great deal. I'm surprised at how few people take advantage of those programs.

One of my former coworkers did it. He was working full time but got everything he could from the community college then transferred to a 4yr school. saved him money.

UMaine has a program like that. It's supposed to be go to any Maine community college then you can transfer into the University system and get your 4yr. Boyfriend got his AS and considered going back for the 4yr. But University So. ME wouldn't accept like any of the credits which is nonsense - since UMaine would have (and UMaine is the parent school). USM is sort of a joke. I think it's since been rectified. And I feel like the NH community college system does this now too?

I know that in NH, you could do "project running start" while in HS and pay a fraction of the cost to get community college credits. I got college credit for my AP Physics class from a community college without taking the AP exam - my teacher was the physics teacher at that CC and got everything all set up. Shame it was algebra based tho & didn't get me anywhere lol

I've seen very few people do it. And those that do use summer semesters.

I finished in 5 years mostly because I became off-track due to a non-engineer adviser making me take a ton of gen eds that I didn't need to take.  Since I had to stay for another year, added on 2 minors (chemistry and sculpture).  If I completed one more chemistry class I could have had a double major eng/chemistry, but I really just wanted to get out of school at that moment...and then I stumbled into grad school.

I couldn't wait to get out either. Made mistake of taking required technical writing course in last semester, but it was able to use same paper for it and a class in my major.

My favorite 'use' of same paper for multiple classes was when I was doing research, referencing my own paper, and the submittal site was like "You're plagiarizing JayKay, JayKay.  You cannot submit this"

Mine was pre internet, so I didn't have to worry

Hahahahahahaha, so all your plagiarism is lost in the tomes of time.  As long as you don't run for president, I think you'll be fine.

DOS computers had their advantages. I asked writing class instructor if it was ok, they approved it. Just had to edit it for writing class

I never understood the ethical issue surrounding plagiarizing oneself. It's not possible by its own definition.

Not valid.  Does not have creepy running thing as edit.

Speaking of plagiarism, we take it very seriously in the government.

As in, we seriously do it all the time. If it's already approved language then we will use it until the end of time and never give attribution.

I think the same could be said of engineering in general, as long as it's not in the academic realm.

Although I do try to provide proper attribution in my software code comments.
