Talk about something for everyone! Classes range from yoga (with the gentlest, kindest teacher anywhere), to food topics, computer classes, beer appreciation, writing, drawing, landscaping .... well, you get the picture.I think this is such a great way to learn. It is different from "regular" adult ed classes that I have taken elsewhere. I think this is in part because you are not in some random high school/fire department/ Elks Club etc. These are all fine places, but here you are in a college type environment. Which means you have a better infrastructure.When you take a cooking class - you are in a PROFESSIONAL kitchen that is used during the day for the culinary program.And the teachers go from professional chefs (yay, Lee!) to home cooks with a passion.Take a computer class - you are in a lab with up to date computers, a fully functional network and projection capabilities for the instructors.Speaking of instructors - the computer classes are taught by people who teach there during the day for the computer certificate programs (go, Christella!). Great breadth of knowledge and a comfort in teaching people who have never seen a computer before - and also people who are very computer literate, but have questions.We (my husband and I) have already taken a bunch of CEC classes and hunger for more. Fortunately, we have barely made a dent in the catalog!
