--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following courses were taken alongside or shortly thereafter those listed above; however, due to certain contingencies that are standard with full tuition scholarships, they could not be taken for credit. To be sure, my engagement in these classes was, for all intents and purposes, no different than in those classes for which I received credit, and this includes perfect attendance, seminar presentations, class participation, essays and the like. Although the following courses do not appear on my official transcript, their influence on my education has been every bit as formative as that of those courses previously listed.
