Higher Education (University +) - October 2007

I have four classes. Three 4 credit and one 2 credit.

Currently my grades are

A
C
C-

And then an B in my 2 credit class. I hate this college and my teachers don't speak English very well in my two C classes, figures why I can't understand anything they say in lecture, but still, to get into a different college I need a 2.5. Will I be able to pull it off?

I'm having problems trying to figure out what would be considered a first class criteria for essays, degrees, exam answers etc.
They say something like 'extensive argument' etc. on their marking criteria but all that does is allow it to be vague and very subjective. There are no examples to follow or books (generally) to follow up against.
Saying things like 'each essay is marked based on its own merits', won't actually help very much.
I'm not saying students should have something to copy from or say XYZ are the perfect answers for a top mark assignment but it does help if we had something to work with e.g. Lett's exam guides for A Level where they have C and A grade answers so the individual knows what to expect and what to look for.
Also where would you look for examples to back up your answers? Newspaper and magazine articles are brief in detail and are definitely not comprehensive enough to give a standard answer proper merits of an extensive argument.

I'm thinking biology focuses more on the human body, while chemistry leads to the research and development aspect of pharmacy. Or with a society that is now so health-conscious, is nutrition something to consider?

I have an undergraduate degree in English, and several graduate level credits in English and Education. I am a former public school English teacher. I want to pursue a Masters in Library Science, but will be residing in an area of Pennsylvania where there will not be a graduate program within commutable distance. Unfortunately due to work and commitments within my family, I will be unable to relocate to attend a university, and obtaining a Masters degree online is my only option. I don't want to waste money on a degree that will not be marketable. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best online Masters degree programs for Library Science? There seems to be a large selection of Masters programs online.

If i'm majoring in sociology and minoring in business/accounting, is it still possible for me to get into a business school to get my mba? or do you need a bachelor's degree in business to get an MBA? And if I could get into the business school for my MBA, would it be a lot harder and take a much longer time because I wasn't a business major?
