What’s the Point In Taking a Winter Class At AACC?

By: Brittany Buckmaster

     AACC offers a wide range of classes during the winter session. The two types they offer are online and traditional lecture style classes. All of the classes offered are accelerated since these classes are only two weeks long. The traditional classes that are offered this winter are ACA-100, COM-101, COM-111, EDU-229, GSS-113, HEA-100, HEA-101, HEA-113, HEA-114, HEA-150, HIS-292, HIT-111, HRM-119, NUR-240, PSY-111, RAD-240, SOC-111, and SPA-211. Including these traditional classes, AACC offers 57 classes during Winter 2015. You can find more information on these classes at http://www.aacc.edu/search/course/crs_pick.cfm.
      Lucas Govatos and I interviewed Abby Harding. Abby is taking HEA-113 this winter session. Abby told us, “HEA-113 has nothing to do with my major of Graphic Design. I’m only taking it because I need it to graduate.” We asked Abby, “Is HEA-113 fast to follow? Would you take another winter class in the future?” Abby told us, “The class is fast to follow but if you focus and do the homework and assignments, you’ll pass. You just need to make time for the class and the homework the professor gives you. I would take another winter class just because it’s only two weeks and it gets another one of my general education classes checked off my list for graduation.” Winter classes are a great way to knock out an easy class pretty quick. It is a great option to take the classes offered online as well if you do not have the time to sit in an actual classroom.
