currently living in Ecuador so I filled this in. Also a real money saver. Her mom Beverly.<br />
It would be great if more schools accepted these credits. I was told when I enrolled I would get credit yet most<br />
colleges I applied to did not recognize them as college undergraduate equivalent courses.<br />
It's a wonderful program for gifted students. Please continue it!<br />
It's an incredible opportunity for students to reach their goals and push them towards achieving maximum<br />
potential. The experience is invaluable and will keep this state's educational system at the top.<br />
It's good for America and helps our country maintain good citizens and a good standard <strong>of</strong> living. Fund it for god's<br />
sake.<br />
Many colleges do not accept CIS credit because they don't allow "double-counting" for both high school and<br />
college requirements.<br />
Many schools require courses to be taught on campus by faculty members for credit. AP and IB <strong>of</strong>fer better<br />
transfer options.<br />
More CIS courses should be available to high school students. The really help prepare you for college curriculum<br />
by grading on an essay and test basis--there aren't any worksheets in college!!!<br />
My CIS English class was the class from high school that prepared me the most for college level classes.<br />
My college in the schools course gave me a glimpse <strong>of</strong> what college-level courses are like. It helped prepare me<br />
for the workload typical <strong>of</strong> many college classes. I appreciated the warning--greatly!<br />
My experience with CIS adequately prepared me for the type <strong>of</strong> work I would encounter in college. I especially<br />
valued my CIS writing course. Strong writing and oral skills were key in my success at Hamline University. CIS<br />
substantially contributed to the development <strong>of</strong> these skills.<br />
No.<br />
Not only did CIS save me time and money in my undergraduate degree, it also really prepared me for college. It<br />
was a great experience and I am still very happy that I had the option <strong>of</strong> CIS. I would recommend CIS to any high<br />
school student.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the best programs available! I only wish I would have taken more CIS courses while in high school.<br />
Perfect for those intending to go on to college. Prepares you for what to expect to come and how to handle the<br />
coursework.<br />
Please teach students how to use these credits for undergraduate programs.<br />
Probably one <strong>of</strong> the best decisions I made in high school was enrolling in CIS courses. When I went to college, I<br />
was ahead <strong>of</strong> the game.<br />
Programs like CIS are very important. Not only did CIS allow me to earn college credit while in high school but my<br />
class prepared me for the pace <strong>of</strong> college studies.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the books I read in CIS are still my favorites to date, and the reading I did in CIS helped prepare me for<br />
the difficulties <strong>of</strong> college because I had already entered the literary college "discussion" realm in my CIS class.<br />
Taking CIS honors composition was key to my success in college but only because I had a pr<strong>of</strong>essor that treated<br />
her students like adults and expected pr<strong>of</strong>essional work.<br />
The benefit <strong>of</strong> the CIS program is in the rigor <strong>of</strong> the course. It varies from school to school and teacher to teacher.<br />
It is ridiculous to consider that the U <strong>of</strong> M's campus and accrediting process is so loosely controlled there is too<br />
much (rest <strong>of</strong> comment could not be deciphered).<br />
The CIS program prepared me very well for college. It was more beneficial than the AP program because the<br />
credits automatically transferred and instead <strong>of</strong> judging your knowledge by one cumulative test, the entire<br />
curriculum was challenging.<br />
The CIS program was a great alternative for advanced placement classes. CIS classes were focused on learning<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> studying for a test. CIS classes kept me focused on college, which average high school classes<br />
couldn't do for me.<br />
The class I took was wonderful. There was no pressure unlike an AP Class, to succeed. It also helped me<br />
prepare for college and know what to expect.<br />
The college in the schools course was one <strong>of</strong> the best classes I took in h.s. even with being in all IB classses.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> in the Schools program gave me the advanced option I wanted to improve upon my high school<br />
experience. I did the honors program at my university, which used seminars coming the subjects that I would<br />
