How did you learn about the dual credit program? Who did you complete your application with?

My English teacher spoke about the dual credit program on the first day. I signed up through class.

Did you attend an orientation session? What did you find most helpful about orientation?

NA

Did you think you were you prepared for the course?

Yes

Did you require any accommodations? Were your needs meet?

No

How was transportation?

NA

How comfortable were you with the technology aspect of the course?

Fine.

Do you think the dual credit was a good fit?

It was a good fit. I learned a lot about communication — how to write a formal email, memos, and for interview skills. I really liked it.

What were the greatest differences between high school and college?

College was more presentation style with power points and lots of talking.

The college course helped me prepare for my high school English course. The courses complemented each other in content.

If you needed to communicate with your College instructor, what was the best way?

NA

Challenges?

It could be a kind of boring because sometimes participation was so quiet. Discussions were hard to have and this was difficult for our teacher… maybe because it was on a Friday.

Would you recommend that other students take a dual credit? Why or why not?

It is good to get the credit while in high school and get it done faster.

What do you hope to do once you’ve graduated from High School?

I am going to Algonquin into Pre Health Science. I hope to be a vet technician.

Last say/best advice

It’d tell people to do it. You get two credits at once. If you’re going to Algonquin, you have a credit. You learn lots of stuff for job interviews.
