Not only is Ms. Pidgeon a consummate professional, she is a genuinely good person who brings light and laughter to the teaching and learning process. Her comments, critiques, and suggestions are invaluable and have helped me to create art I am proud of. Ms. Pidgeon is an endlessly patient instructor who allows individuals of diverse ages and abilities to develop at their own pace and find the style that is best for them. During each lesson, Susan talks out loud about what the student is learning and why. This is a critical component for me. The instruction is seamlessly blended into working on a painting of my choice. Susan listens carefully to my comments, and that is the all important part of excellent communication and teaching. Ms. Pidgeon gives me confidence to experiment and try new approaches. I appreciate that she gives thoughtful answers to my many questions. One of her favorite expressions is, "There are no art police here." I love that attitude and the fact that it is always possible to improve an acrylic painting using Ms. Pidgeon's techniques. I have also mastered some of he basics of working in oil and how to use mixed media. I continue to explore these mediums, knowing that Susan is a veritable fountain of knowledge. Recently, I learned how to use molding paste to create action and depth in one of my more modern paintings. And in the midst of all the learning and experimenting, I have had fun. I look forward to each new week and the joy I feel. I know I am in the hands of a competent, caring professional who delights in the progress I have made and encourages me to move forward in new and exciting ways.

Prometric is a testing facility that quite a few companies contract out to proctor their exams. While the location was hard to find the facility itself isn't that much nicer. It's a small little office space that when you walk in are 2 desks where the workers sit and a room full of small partial cubicles for the test takers. While the 2 guys working here seem friendly enough, it is a little intimidating taking a test here. First you enter and sign in, give the guys 2 forms of IDs, then put everything you have on you in a locker. But the kicker is how they search you and wand you down to make sure you aren't sneaking anything into the test with you; even though they have cameras pointed on each little cube in the testing room. All this security precautions just seem to be unnecessary; as most test taker here are adults taking an exam for their employer. I have less issue going through TSA at an airport.

Get ready for constant video and audio surveillance…read more.. At Prometric, you are forced to endure the most stressful future-deciding exams without even a sentimental token of your real life. No, you may not bring your bag, your water bottle, your pens... You will enter the lab with only regulation conforming, newly issued pencils, and your government ID. Should you get warm, and take off your jacket, it will promptly be removed from the room. Bathroom breaks are noted, requiring signatures and ID upon re-entry. To any university admissions counselors reading: Rest assured, you can take any Charleston area scores at face value. The Prometric crew is nothing if not professional. To their credit, they did provide secure lockers, water, coffee, miniature cupcakes, kleenex, etc. outside the lab door. OK, the cupcakes barely looked edible, but they were a nice gesture. And, contrary to my SAT testing experiences (on paper!), you are issued your exam on your own computer, and begin when processed. An early arrival might earn you an early start, instead of more time in a room of nervous test takers, waiting for the mandatory monologues about the nature of the exam.
