My Academic Goal

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Business Management

My long term goal is to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Business Management with a minor in Human Resources Management. As a short term goal I would like to reach a AAS degree that I can later transfer to Nevada State College or UNLV. Reason why I chose this major is because my field of expertise and experience is in the Human Resources Management field and a degree in business management provides one with all the fundamentals of managing a business overall it later gets into the specific of the function of HR. My target completion date for my AAS was the summer of 2018;  realistically... it probably may not happen since it can be challenging to manage a family, full time job that due to the scope of responsibilities requires I put in more than your typical 40 hrs a week and on top of that taking at least 3-4 classes a semester.

Making headway!

A couple of weeks into the semester and keeping my head above water. But I must admit, its getting easier and easier... ok only if I can finally finish Lesson 8 by the deadline....phew!! the longest lesson by far but very informative.

The real challenge begins!!

We made it through the first few classes and even completed our fist quiz but the challenge of meeting all our deadlines begins as we get further into our syllabus. Lessons completed and some almost done... commitment and discipline is was will get it done. I still haven't quite figured out my routine between juggling this, other classes, a full time Job and my family but it is coming together.

1st day of class

1st day of class in IS101 was productive, with minor technical difficulties for me but after reaching out to Albert, I was back on track in no time. I love that this class will be interactive and hands-on for in my opinion is the best way to learn. The environment the professor and peers create is welcoming make it comfortable to ask any questions.

As many of us, I've been somewhat exposed to the applications we will be covering this semester and have self taught on the use but cant wait to fully explore the capability of each one of them.

Excited and to learn what is to come.
