Year Number Two at UAA

So my second year of college has started

here are my classes:

1.) small group communications (my last prerequisite for ATC)
This class looks really cool and easy. Theres quite a bit of interaction-this is because all the the interactive activities are tailored to the needs of the course. this is the only class i dont know someone well in, but its still fun and we get along great!

2.) Human Factors in aviation
the teacher is good, I take good notes and ask things here and there quite a bit after just being in two days of the class. a cadet from CAP is in this class. yay.

3.) ATC flight procedures.
I'm uncertain of how i'm really going to do in this class, but the teacher is great and explains things in ways i can easily understand. Even tho he is also blunt and not afraid to explain things as HE needs to, im still unafraid to ask questions, of things im either curious about or dont understand. this is an important class and no matter how much i get confused im gonna make the most out of it. my goal is a B. minimum grade you can get in the class is a C.

4.) Aviation weather
i had to retake this one, because last year the class was not fun and i could not connect with the teacher and his methods well. At least i dropped the other class so its off the record. The teacher, much like the rest of mine, are nice but are strict about their teaching methods and knows exactly how each lesson needs to be delievered. im far more comfortable asking questions in this class, and i also have a buddy in this one. the atmosphere is much more pleasant than last years class.

all these classes are nice in all ways so far. and knowing that i like these classes motivates me. haven't had much work so far but i am going to read and take a few notes saturday, sunday and tuesday during my long four day weekend.

as long as i stay on top of things this should proceed to be a very pleasant, enjoyable semester.
