Joan in GE Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Many times there are no 'community college' type possibilities overseas...When I inquired about dc doing university classes here while still in high school, I was told they had to have finished high school before applying with the exception of a summer French course at the university and a math program for very advanced students at a local tech institute.... But just last week we found another option which I never knew existed....there are regular courses at the university which are also open to the general public...So the student doesn't get a grade but can go for the course and basically audit it but without any paperwork. We went to the first one last week (uni just started last week here)...the prof is great and dd was thrilled! I don't know if they do this in all countries but just thought I'd mention it in case it's possible in other places as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan in GE Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Went again yesterday - it's only once a week...Just to add - We're not using the course as the only part of the course I've scheduled, just as a part (the uni course is French rhethorique so she's adding it to the EAD course which is not so intense). And yesterday I found we could also get the 'polycopie' (what they use instead of books typically - photocopies of the text the teacher has developed) for the uni course. The part missing is the 'exercises' - separate time where they practice the rhetoric issues he's explaining...I'm going to try to find out what they're doing from a friend who took the course while in uni...
