A great help in preparing for college work load. Comments A very valuable experience! Saved me lots of time in college and tuition money. Also prepared me for college level course work. Ask for a complete package/implementation at each school. To my knowledge, there were very limited advanced course offerings at Mounds View , 1 CIS course and 3-5 AP courses (foreign language, 2 calculus, 1 English, l sociology . . .). By completing a CIS English course during high school, I was free to start taking advanced English courses when I started my undergraduate degree--which I enjoyed and saved me money. I thoroughly recommend the program. CIS allowed me to challenge myself to the max potential and encouraged me to be more analytical/creative/hardworking--skills needed to be successful in college and in the real world. I hope to see my hs students take advantage of such an opportunity CIS allowed me to complete required courses before attending college so I was able to register for other necessary classes. Also, the credits I entered college with allowed me to register ahead of my peers. This was extremely beneficial. CIS allowed me to enrich my college experience by allowing me to take on more credits than I could have without CIS. I truly believe CIS has allowed me more education and knowledge and is one of the reasons I am Successful now. CIS allowed me to excel in my H.S. and get through boring classes in high school so I could get the most of out of my college career later. Plus I loved the classes. CIS allowed me to study abroad and still graduate on time. It allowed me to challenge myself in high school and not be bored. I was more prepared for college than many of my freshman colleagues. I had more confidence in my abilities and was more focused. CIS encourages students in high school to further their education and attend college. It is vital to introduce CIS while students are in high school because this is a time when they will be receptive to considering higher education. CIS English should be required for all high school students. CIS gave me a huge head start on life. CIS improved my writing skills to a great degree. I was far more prepared to write papers in college. CIS is a great program for high school students who want to attend the University of Minnesota after graduation. However, other higher educational institutes may not recognize credits acquired through this program, yet they acknowledge AP or IB courses. CIS is a great way to earn real college credit in high school, without having to give up the high school experience or deal with commuting. CIS is a joke, real college courses are much more time-consuming. CIS is a wonderful program that helps mature high school individuals to realize college and reach their potential at, for some, an appropriate age. CIS is a wonderful program, and it was a nice preparation to my college education. The political science course I took allowed me to experience college while still in high school. CIS is an excellent opportunity for forward-thinking high school students and allowed me to take extra classes during my 4 years in college toward a minor because credits were all accepted at my school. CIS is an excellent program! I participated in two CIS language courses. This allowed me to study abroad, double major, and now, after having graduated I work abroad teaching English. CIS made it possible for me to get a head start at my High School which was really great because my family didn't have enough money to take me to college during my high school education for PSEO credit courses--also gave me a challenge--wished there were more classes. CIS prepared me for college by encouraging me to think and analyze on a higher level than many incoming freshmen. In addition it allowed me to pursue semester-long study abroad program and complete two majors due to the credits I had coming into college. CIS programs are an asset to students who don't have a lot of money for college courses and can fully CIS 5-year survey December 2006 Page 3 of 12
