I want to become proficient in a shop.

So far, I've heard about three different shop classes, one in Mechanical, one in Design, and one in Technology Education (TED110).

Any recomendations? TED110 is a 4 credit class and I've heard it's an EASY A+.

You want either TED 110 or 122. I can't remember which. The only problem with them is that they're typically only offer at 8:00am, though not always.

could always take something at wake tech

Apprentice at a shop, its the best way to learn. You are not going to become adept taking TED110 there just isn't enough time...

Blue Jay: any places around here that might want an apprentice?

You can try talking to the guys in the machine shop in Broughton or the research shop over in Weaver Labs; they might take on a student apprentice.

I am a TA for TED 110

It is an A or B class. You have to try to do worse than that.

I'm a TED major, the 110 class is weak sauce. And they've since changed the program, don't know if it's in effect yet or not but once it is it will be even weaker in regards to what extent you learn about woodworking and metal working. Either take a class at wake tech, or if you're interested in just woodshop, take a class(es) and do stuff at the crafts center woodshop. i work there so if you have any questions feel free to ask. But if you can take TED110 as an elective for a GER or something, then it's an easy grade and you'll learn the bare minimum. but if you want to be proficient you have to continually work and do new things, the crafts center will allow you to do that since it's a semester membership and you come in on your time and work on what ever you want. If you take a class the membership fee is included in the price. The shop is open 7 days a week for atleast 5 hrs a day, and until 10pm on the weekdays.
