This has been one of those weeks. Some successes and some challenges. My research paper for English Lit was a big hit with my instructor. MTH 065 is another story though. I have scrambled all week getting ready to take a Module test for this class. Keeping up with the homework for the next module [...]

Did William Shakespeare have VD?
February 10, 2010 — RedfokkerYou never know where being a non traditional student is going to take you. I am taking ENG 202 “Middle Shakespeare” as a baccalaureate core class for my BA in History. Little did I know these last two terms would be a History Major’s favorite journey into Elizabethan England. I am investigating more of the [...]

Journal of Military History
January 21, 2010 — RedfokkerAgain, I have gone too long without posting. I’ll have to make a strict goal about this… One of the premier Christmas gifts from my wonderful wife this year was a membership in the Society for Military History. Another professional historian association directly related to my area of study. They publish a journal . It [...]

Relax, Winter Term Has Just Started
January 12, 2010 — RedfokkerI was noticing today that again, the wheat has been separated from the chaff after the first week of Winter term. Like last term, which was crazy crowded, a large number of students have disappeared from my classes. I would assume that a lot of the drops came from rescheduling and not needing certain classes. [...]
Nontraditional Student Phenomenon – My Research Paper
January 7, 2010 — RedfokkerOne of the major things I neglected with this blog at the end of last term was to post a link to my WR123 Research Writing class project. This class was one of the most useful that I have taken so far. The entire term was devoted to one major research paper. The skills learned [...]

Got all wrapped up in Christmas break from school and Reaching Lifelong Goals fell from grace. Winter term is beginning and new goals are being set for school work and personal life. I have many [...]

Non Trad Teaching Non Trads
October 29, 2009 — RedfokkerOne of my favorite and most useful classes this term is Research Writing WR123. Not only will this class serve me well for the rest of my college career, but my instructor is a fellow Non Traditional Student (well, ex-non trad, I guess…) We have been discussing my topic for my term long research paper [...]
