Some interesting things have happened since she began her class. She has become the lead of her study group, organizing the online meetings and contacting all the members of their study group to attend. She even created a secondary study group in order to accommodate one student who could not meet with their group at any other time. So, she basically attends two study groups a week.
She is really loving this class! She is taking Science Foundations. I have peeked over her shoulder while she is studying to see what the class is all about. I am so thrilled that everything is geared towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ, putting secular teachings into the proper perspective. She is thriving in this new endeavor to be a Mentored Scholar.

I am so happy this is working out for her. She is doing a great job!
How wonderful! I wanted to hear how it was going! I've been hoping Morganne might be able to do something like this soon. She is warming up to the idea of Institute for next year, so this may be just the thing. *finger crossed*
ReplyDeleteI am sooo enjoying your scholar posts, Miss Celeste! (Miss you!)
P.S.-- Can you share how to sign up for these wonderful courses? Thank you, ma'am!
ReplyDeleteTo enroll we went to the BYU Concurrent Enrollment website and clicked on "Apply Now" at the bottom of the page or you can go to this page.
ReplyDeleteThere is a list of things they will need during the application process. They need to update their deadline information for the Spring 2012 semester. I was told this is the first semester they are offering these classes and the process has gone pretty well.
The process was fairly easy. See my posts on the transcripts we submitted here. They were not specific on which types of transcripts you need to submit, I think they are open to any type, but you can call them and ask.
The great thing about these classes is they are only $30 a credit - so $60-$90 for a college class is awesome! I think Morganne would love them! They are time consuming, so we have to give Nayna lots of computer time since the textbooks are online as well, something I did not consider before. I'm glad we only did one class this semester.
