 In order to accommodate the busy lives of today's students, Forsythe Tech has introduced an innovation in education, the new Science Skills Learning Lab. The Science Skills Laboratory Center is a multi-disciplinary facility and our main purpose is to help students to fulfill the laboratory requirements of their science courses in a flexible environment. They just schedule a time with the lab, come in, they can work at their own pace, they can work with other students, they can work by themselves. It gives you an opportunity to actually obtain your degree without being set to a rigid schedule. I'm a working mom and trying to go back to school and until this semester I was never able to take any of the sciences because either the class would work for me or the lab would work for me but I couldn't fit both of them into my schedule. I can't get in here at a particular time if something comes up. Miss Groves and Miss Burrell are really great about arranging the schedule. It works really well with the schedule of being a mom with two kids between doctor's appointments, working full time. I currently live in Statesville which is about 45 miles away from Forsythe so to be able to come down here in one day and complete all my labs and I have to drive four days out a week is very flexible. It's really nice being able to work sort of independently you can get ahead. I think that this lab opens up all the curriculums to working students. A lot of students coming in here have work, they have families and kind of helps out, works around their schedules. I would tell any student that if you really want to become a biotechnology major that Forsythe Tech has made an opportunity for you. Students seem to like it. It's just wonderful. It's fantastic. It's phenomenal. I'm really enjoying it. I wish I could get more of my classes like this.
