What is the ASU test proctoring like? What major did/are you do/doing? How long did it take you? How long are the classes? How much do you study for them? Did you ever take labs? What was that experience like?
Test proctoring: generally non-existent. Some classes will make you use a program that records all mouse movement and/or records you via webcam, but most classes don't. I could easily Google every test question...
Major is IT, with focus on networking. I wanted to do CS, but couldn't get in for some reason. But I'm liking networking.
How long did it take me? Uhhh.. I think I'm in my junior year seven years in. I'm often taking one class at a time because I don't have time to take more. Dropped a few classes, too.
Classes are either a semester or accelerated half a semester, depending on the season. I think 2-3 months.
Labs, yes, but not really hands-on. Programming and networking labs use emulation, like packet tracer, or obviously just writing programs. Not sure how a science lab would work.
I don't really like online school, tbh. Compared to in-person, I'm much less motivated and I feel like the lessons are much worse. It's usually just a shitty PowerPoint and a suggestion to read the book, plus some question ripped off other websites. You still have to learn the material, but I never feel like I'm being taught, I have to teach myself.

Have they given you full time yet?
I'm a shift supervisor, so yes. Some stores are easier than other for baristas to get full time, but you are supposed to be scheduled 66% of your availability. So if you have 60 hours your available, you should get 39 hours. But it depends on your state, the hours available at your store, your performance (generally more hours is the "reward" for good performance), and other factors. You can also pick up shifts at other stores. There's always
someone
who wants the day off.
