Take classes with your friends

Our Summer Sessions programs, open to anyone, are all accelerated courses and feature non-traditional learning experiences. Sukhwinder Gurm (from our Continuing Studies program) was so enthusiastic about her learning experience with us that she brought seven other friends with her who were looking for the same educational opportunities.  Sukhwinder is working on fulfilling requirements for the BC College of Teachers and has just finished GEOG 121. Trinity Western University Extension talks to Sukhwinder Gurm about her TWU Extension experience.

Q. How did you come to TWU?
A. I had finished my Professional Qualification Program (PQP) from SFU in 2009 and in order to get professional teaching certificate from BCCT, I need to complete four courses (3 credits each). Here’s how my journey started. I heard that someone had done a three-week Math course in Langley. I couldn't contact that person because she was out of country at that time. I searched online and found TWU.
 
Q. What did you like about your educational experience?
A.  I liked the short-term courses. It doesn't mean that the course content is less. All the courses I have done were full of knowledge; I learned a lot from those courses.
 
Q. How does it compare to other schools you've attended?
A. I preferred to save time by attending TWU instead of doing courses for three to four months.
 
Q. Would you recommend it to others?
A. I have already recommended TWU to my friends and am still highlighting its qualities to other students.
 
Q. What do you do for a living?
A. I have just started my teaching job at Kahlsa School in Surrey.

Q. What would you want others to know about TWU Extension?
A. It is a community where I have learned a lot. Professors taught with religious values; they were always there to help me understand the course materials.
