That's really amazing...And it is good to see NWN has been recognized and put in a high regards as a teaching tools.

Maybe you could take the course later?

Well, I was speaking in the past tense. I wouldn't need to now, at least not for the labs. And Alberta is a very long way from here. :)

I know I posted this to my blog, but may not have mentioned it here: my essay has been approved, so I'm officially set to graduate in January. And after taking college classes on and off in my spare time for 30 years, I'm very much ready to put a firm end to my days as a student. My wife and I even have a bet about whether or not I'll be able to resist taking classes again. She thinks I won't, but I'm determined to prove her wrong. ;)

Congratulations Andarian on your second Masters degree.  That's quite an accomplishment.  I've been thinking of going back myself.  Unfortunately, I'll have to take most of my classes again since it's been 10 years since I last took Math & Science.  :( 

Either way, real men go for a 3rd Masters!  ;)  LOL!

I think it's definitely the green one. ;)

Regrettably, I can't plead the typical (orange) explanation. After my first undergraduate degree all of my coursework has been part-time, on top of a full-time career. That's one of the reasons why it ended up taking me so long.

Poetic Colossus used NWN to teach computer to his high school classes, as I am sure everybody remembers.

Congrats on the second masters!  Remarkable under any circumstances.

What does "real job" mean in this context?
