Hello all! I was just accepted into Pitt's Library School, and now I'm trying to decide on if I should go to school full-time (which would be 12 credits/4 classes) or half-time (6 credits/2 classes).

So, if you went through the MLIS program, my questions are -
How often did you have to meet with a group?
I graduated last December from the School library track. We had to meet with groups once in awhile, but we usually did it right before or right after classes, since we all had the same classes together.

How easy/difficult was it to meet with your group members?
see above

Did you also work while getting your degree, and how easy/difficult was that?
I did it full time. And I worked 30 hours a week and did an internship at the Pitt Archives. I didn't have a problem with getting the work done, but be prepared to read A LOT for some of the classes.

Were you satisfied with the level of course work you turned in, as in, you felt that you turned in good work?
Yes and no. Some of the things we turned in seemed ridiculous. But for the most part a lot of the stuff we had to read and write reports on/make presentations/etc were interesting. For me I keep most of the things in my portfolio for jobs. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me ankhwearer04@gmail.com
