Dual-Enroller
Dual-Enroller
Column Presented by Hannah Craven
Have you ever heard the term "dual enrollment" before? Whether you have or haven't, it's hard to know what it truly involves. That is why I am here once again, as an online dual-enroller myself, with a special inside on both the pros and cons of it . . .

I recently finished my first semester of dual-enrolling through CPA and a local community college. It was very different from what I initially expected. As I mentioned in October’s newsletter, I thought the classes would be just like high school. I was sorely mistaken. Once I realized my faulty assumptions and learned how to cope with a tough grading professor, the semester smoothed out, allowing me to pass with a B.
The main thing about community college classes that I learned is that you never know for sure what kind of professor you will have. I thought my professor would be much more involved in the teaching process instead of absently grading a month after an assignment was submitted. On the other hand, now that I have started my second semester in the same subject through a community college, my new professor is very eager to teach in-depth on every concept, isn’t as hard of a grader, and enjoys student inquiries. These two professors are so different as many usually are. Therefore I would highly recommend to any dual-enrolling students to do a quick google on a professor and see if you can find out what kind of teacher they are. While you sometimes may not be able to avoid a not-so-desirable professor, you will have the heads up on what to expect before the class begins.
As for the workload, this varies greatly. Last semester, I had a 5-minute instructional video followed by roughly 15-25 quizzes/assignments due twice a week. A lot compared to CPA, right? Although it was difficult, with proper time management it was do-able. This semester I have a weekly online meeting to participate in, 1-3 instructional videos, a discussion board, and 2 quizzes twice a week. These two classes are very different in their structures and workload. It is hard to assess what your class schedule is going to be before you start, so that is something to keep in mind.
In conclusion, if you are a student committed to learning and willing to take on extra work, you should do just fine! In community colleges not many of the professors and classmates are likely to be fellow believers in our wonderful Lord and Savior, so follow His guidance and remember to be a light for Christ!

The world will tell us to do what makes you happy. Once you get bored, they tell you to go find something else. This might seem fun, new, and exciting, but after a while this lifestyle will let you down. You will start to feel alone, unhappy, and who knows what else. If we follow what our heart tells us to do, nothing will ever be enough. Why do you think the rich always want to get richer? Why do you think the people in charge want more power? And why do you think so many people are looking for more than they have? Once they figure out that nothing will truly make them happy, they start to feel depressed. God made us in a way that we need him; He is our bread of life. What does that mean? Well, when we are hungry, we satisfy ourselves by eating, right? That’s how God made us, physically and spiritually. So many people are spiritually hungry; they just don’t know what they need. So they do what makes them feel good for as long as it lasts, but it never lasts for long. This is why we are in a world that is so broken. Millions of people won’t give God a chance, like a little toddler refusing to eat their vegetables. Is it good for them? Yes! But we don’t want to be told what to do. So many people choose to live the life they are living, but you don’t have to. You can choose joy, peace, hopefulness, and love. You can satisfy your hunger by giving God control and accepting the greatest love you will ever need. Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
