    Did you find the job after that program. . I would like to take software engineering BS but I am not sure that 4 year its worth that… is it possible to graduate faster.¿

    • @StoriesfromtheBay
      @StoriesfromtheBay  2 роки тому +2

      You can complete an accelerated program in 2.5 to 3 years. ASU has a lot of resources when it comes to finding a job. There are other ways to get into the software development game if you don't think you want to spend the time on a 4 year degree. I have another video coming out on this exact topic. I highly recommend ASU online to anyone driving for Uber. They have amazing resources for finding a job.

      @@StoriesfromtheBay the start up is called Pulse Jet Studios. It’s a content creation company for virtual reality. Headsets, I’ve been a video editor for a long time and I’m the creative Director there but it’s a start up so we’re not funded yet. I’ve been working there for a year with no salary, which is why I’ve been driving for Uber, I learned about the ASU program recently. I’ve only got about 1400 rides right now so I can’t qualify just yet if I do 10 rides a day for a couple months I’ll be there. one of the things somebody told me recently was that there are programs out there which can actually take some of your work experience and converted into college credits, which can be transferable to any university, do you know if that’s possible through this Arizona state online program?

    What kind of software did you use to compete your courses? How was the teaching delivered ? ASU seem like a very tech innovative school Vs other online course/school where you basically only completing discussion board and quizzes/test on blackboard

    • @StoriesfromtheBay
      @StoriesfromtheBay  2 роки тому

      It is called Canvas and each course is different but discussion boards and other interactive learning methods are used. Some were more innovative than others. For example, geology had an interactive lab component that was quite interesting. The way the curriculum was delivered was defiantly innovative.
