I have much hate for the 6-9PM class. It was the only timeslot alloted for Intro to Psych and I needed it for my crim minor. All I could think about was...food. I never felt hungry before class but during...argh.
Yikes! I can imagine. Fortunately for me, my excellent wife thought to throw a burger patty on the George Foreman grill just before I left for class, so I didn't have to deal with hunger on top of sustaining my attention on one subject for three hours. It also helps that this is a class I want to take with a professor I like. It's just... so late and so lengthy... I really hope I get used to the timing.
Oh, yes. Two, in fact. Ten minutes each. I've never had a three hour class without two ten-minute breaks and I'm sure there would be riots (or at least minimal enrollment) otherwise.
BTW, my co-worker had to drop the class, since apparently the taxes on his graduate tuition benefits were going to be crippling. Fortunately, my classes are "post-baccalaureate" and don't get taxed the same way.
Unfortunately, my class (starts tonight!) won't be as fun or interesting.
That's too bad (although the lab IS rather crowded). Is the "post-baccalaureate" distinction one you get to make for yourself on your tax forms or does the nature of your particular program decide it for you?
The distinction is determined by the program, as far as I can tell. It all seems a little arbitrary to me, but essentially if the course number is < 499, it's an undergraduate course and therefore the tuition benefits fall under a different tax category (I'm a little fuzzy on the logic behind the taxes there).
My courses are all 400 level and available only through this post-baccalaureate program, although in reality I believe they are just re-numbered 100 level classes that are offered in the evening. I suppose, in that respect, it's certainly not graduate school, in spite of the fact that it is (a) school that (b) requires a college degree.
(The other respects are: it is a very short program, and offers no degree.)
