Yesterday, I signed up for an Object-Oriented Programming Concepts course (CIS 112) at Sinclair Community College. But it wasn't as straightforward as I hoped. The in-person section was filled, so I signed up for the online section. I filled out the registration form, and was initially denied because the course has a prerequisite of another course (CIS 111). I asked, "I already have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Is there any way I can test out of the prerequisite?" I got sent up to Academic Advisement, who in turn advised me to go to the department. And so I hoofed it to the department, and happened to meet the instructor. After a few minutes of discussion on my background, she gave me permission to take the course. After having the department sign off on the registration form, I re-registered, and was accepted. Then I went to the bursar's office to pay my bill.

Today, based on a tip from [livejournal.com profile] athenawindsong, I ordered my 2 books through amazon.com. One was new, the other was used. We'll be using a language called Alice and doing OO diagramming in UML using Visio. So I downloaded Alice and installed it on the laptop.

The next thing to do is to obtain a copy of Microsoft Visio from the campus library or whoever handles the software distribution for students. I'll probably take care of that tomorrow morning, unless I have to wait until the quarter starts before I can acces the ELMS system.

I always got my software from the college bookstore.. there is a office in the store that handles all that.. just to let you know from my experience there at Sinclair.

Also I got my books from http://www.ecampus.com/ as they seemed to always be the cheapest.
