Editorial Review :
A flexible guide to developing sites small and large. Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS (or SMACSS, pronounced "smacks", for short) is more style guide than rigid framework. There's no library within here for you to download or install. SMACSS is a way to examine your design process and as a way to fit those rigid frameworks into a flexible thought process. It's an attempt to document a consistent approach to site development when using CSS. And really, who isn't building a site with CSS these days?!
Learn about the four types of CSS rules for state-based design, and how this approach to development can make it easier to work on larger sites and with larger teams.

Questions & Answers
Question : Is the AAS degree of the USAF equal to a regular AS civilian degree?
Is the AAS degree like a specified degree in a certain area such as a trade whereas an AS civilian degree covers everything in general?What are the relations if they are equal?
Answer:
To an extent.But AS degrees are pretty worthless anywhere.You can get Specific AS degree as a civilian.But a CCAF AS degree, does NOT mean, you have completely two years toward a BS degree.BS degrees have specific course requirements you have to meet,Some AS degree might meet all of the first two years, most will not.

Question : How to get my AAS at a community college, and transfer to a 4 year University?
I heard in order to transfer from a community college to a 4 year university, you need to take the general courses that will actually transfer to the university.Nursing is a career I have in mind.. and maybe later if it is something I want to study further, I will consider becoming a nurse practitioner. But for now, I'm wondering.. I heard that I need my AAS (associates) in nursing (RN) .. at the community college.But, how do I get that if I need to take general courses that will be what transfers?Sorry, I'm still confused as to how everything works..Thank you in advance :)
Answer:
Here's the thing that you need to understand which will help you a lot in figuring out what to do next......and I hate it when I have to explain this, because it usually means that some hapless new associates degree holder is just finding out the hard way that his/her "Associate of Applied Science" (AAS) degree is not as good for purposes of transferring into a four-year bachelors degree program as an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) degre would have been. I wish these small colleges, community colleges, technical colleges, junior colleges, etc., would explain this better so that their enrollees, students and graduates would not be confused and/or taken by surprise.An AAS degree is pretty okay for career purposes (though nearly never as good as a four-year bachelors degree). However, an AAS doesn't transfer well into most bachelors degrees because it's not really an "academic" degree in the same sense as most AA and/or AS degrees.Whether an AAS, an AS, or an AA, it's usually a two-year, approximately sixty-semester-credit-hour degree.With an AA or AS degree, nearly the entire two years (actually, at least one year; and in most AA or AS degree, usually the entire first year plus maybe one-third to one-half of the second year) is devoted to what's called "lower-division general education" (LDGE).LDGE usually has nothing to do with whatever is the associates degree's major. It's "general" education... the same type which four-year bachelors degrees require during their first year or two......hence the reason that most AA or AS degrees are transferable, on their face, straight into four-year bachelors degree programs; and when so, said AA or AS degree is usually counted as the entire freshman and sophomore years of said bachelors degree program, thereby allowing the transferee to begin the bachelors program in the junior year, leaving only two more years (the junior and senior years) to complete the bachelors.LDGE usually includes stuff like two English Comp classes, one or two math classes (usually at least one of which must have a title like "College Math" or "College Algebra"), two natural science courses, two social science courses, one or two (or more) humanties courses, maybe a language course, maybe a computer literacy course, etc., etc.LDGE provides not only a good, general, all-'round education, regardless of the degree's major; but it also exposes the student to a broad range of subjects so that selecting a major will be easier.A typical AA or AS degree will consist of anywhere from 30 to 45 semester credit hours of LDGE; leaving only from 15 to 30 (usally closer to 15 to 18) semester credit hours for courses in the degree's major. (Remember that an AA or AS is only 60 semester credit hours, so the number of LDGE hours are subtracted from 60... and that's how many hours are allowed in the AA's or AS's "major".)However, a typical AAS degree is more concerned about training the student for a job or career, not so much for transferring into a bachelors program.Therefore, most AAS degrees have maybe one-third to sometimes as many as one-half the number of LDGE courses in them. It's very common, for example, for a typical AAS degree to contain only around 18 to maybe 24 semester credit hours of LDGE.While that's good for training in whatever is the AAS's major (since fewer LDGE courses leaves more room for courses in the major), it makes for a lousy associates degree for use in transferring into a four-year bachelors program.Since most four-year bachelors programs require from maybe 36 (on the low end) to (I've seen as many as) 48 semester credit hours (on the high end) of LDGE, you can easily do the math and see that a typical AAS degree holder with 18 to 24 semester credit hours of LDGE in his/her AAS degree will typically be short anywhere from 12 to maybe even as many as 30 semester credit hours of LDGE if s/he tries to transfer his/her AAS degree into a typical bachelors program.Schools which award AAS degrees, but which don't make sure their enrollee/students are painfully aware of all this are disingenuous... even bordering on fraudulent......and I just HATE to see that. It makes me furious; and I end-up feeling really bad for the AAS graduate who finds all this out the hard way.But all's not lost. All you really have to do is sit down with an advisor, and a course credit worksheet, and figure out which of your AAS courses can count as LDGE, and which will then count as general electives (or maybe even courses in the major); and from there you and the advisor can figure out how many more LDGE courses you'll have to take in order to satisfy the LDGE requirements of the bachelors degree.With any luck, depending on how many LDGE courses are in your AAS, you'll only have to take from three to maybe five (six at the most) LDGE courses to get all caught-up; and from there you can concentrate on the bachelors degree's both courses in the major and general electives.Now... another important thing...You mentioned getting an associates degree to become an RN. Sadly, in most states, one cannot become an RN (a "registered nurse") with only an associates (or even an AAS) degree. In most states, one must obtain a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" (BSN) in order to become an RN.Those with associate-degree-level degrees (AA, AS or AAS) can, in most states, only become a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or maybe a "Licensed Vocational Nurse" (LVN), or something like that. In those states, only a BSN holder can sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and, if passed, apply for an RN license.So it's unlikely that you'd be able to become an RN after completing a community college (or any other kind of) two-year (or even two-plus-year) associates degree.And a Nurse Practitioner is, in pretty much EVERY state, something which only the holder of a "Master of Science in Nursing" (MSN) can be... and even then, there's also a rigorous practicum involved. And, of course, one cannot get an MSN unless one first has an undergrad (bachelors) degree... preferably a BSN (though other bachelors degrees are sometimes allowed, depending on the school and the state); and most MSNs that are intended to result in their holders becoming Nurse Practitioners also require a few years of nursing experience as an RN. So there's no quick-and-easy route to becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP)......as well it should be... after all, an NP can diagnose and even prescribe, just like a physician. An NP, therefore, must be HIGHLY trained and qualified!So, unless you want to be an LVN or LPN first, and then maybe do some additional coursework to satisfy the LDGE requirement of most any BSN program into which you ultimately enter, I would strongly advise you to get an AA or AS degree from your local community college. Then transfer that, on its face, into a BSN program. So doing will likely result in the AA or AS (most likely an AS if it's a BSN into which you'd like it to transfer) will count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the BSN, leaving only the last two (junior and senior) years of the BSN to complete.I'd stay away from any AAS degrees, were I you. That's just my advice, mind you... and you're free to disagree with it. But you'd be smarter to follow it.Hope that helps. Good luck to you.

Question : I am about to graduate with a BS. Can I use credits for an AAS?
So, I have spent 5 years at a university only to discover that my dream job only really requires an AAS. I'll be finishing my BS soon, so I am continuing with that, but the AAS will still be helpful to me and help me gain a lot of experience in my field as well as some really great contacts. It seems silly and kind of backwards to be doing my AAS after my BS, but I had no idea what I wanted to do when I came into college. What I want to know is can I use the general education classes from my BS towards the requirements for my AAS? It really doesn't make sense that I would have to basically take the exact same random classes that have nothing to do with my major....AGAIN.Thanks for any help in advance! :)
Answer:
Yes You can. But you will have to spend 2 more years in school, no matter what. Associate in Applied Science is technical. Technical degrees require internships and clinical rotation.

Question : What are the differences between an AA degree and an AAS degree?
I know AA is Associate of Arts, but what does AAS stand for? Is an AAS degree "Associate of Arts and Sciences" or "Associate's of Applied Sciences"? (I've heard both definitions tossed around.)I'm getting my associate's in a few weeks and got a letter of confirmation in the mail, but I'm confused - the letter lists my degree type as AA, but degree title as Arts and Sciences: Art. Was there a typo? Does "Arts and Sciences" still count as an Associate's of Art, or does "Arts and Sciences" make it an AAS?The college I'm transferring to will waive general education requirements for people with an AA, but not for an AAS. I just hope I don't have to do gen ed all over again.
Answer:
AA is associates in art AAS is associates in art and science they arent the same. You better talk to see if there is anything you can do if its not a typo.

Question : Should I get an AA or AAS in Human Services?
I plan on going to a community college this fall. I do plan at this time to be a social worker when I am out of college, but I do have a question.Would it be more beneficial to get an Associates of Applied Science in Social Work or an Associates of Art in Social Work? Is it possible to to transfer an AAS degree to a 4 year university, even though you don't complete all the general education requirements?I am in Missouri if it helps any.
Answer:
You should go for the AA in social work as you want to complete the general ed. There should be an articulation agreement between your CC and the College. You probably want to meet with your advisor in CC and also talk with the folks in the social work dept. Your goal should be to transfer in as a Junior to the college and not have to take any other lower division courses. DA

Question : What should I major in to become a US Marshal?
So I just got my AAS in Emergency Management (which included an EMT-P certification) and I am off to a 4 year school. What major would be best for one wanting to become a US Marshal? Political Science or Criminal Justice?The reason I suggested poly sci was because I heard that it is a better degree because its more general and with the right extracurrics it would be just as good as a Criminal justice degree.
Answer:
Law..

Question : AA vs. AAS? Any advice?
Was wondering if it makes a difference to a four year university if I have a general AA degree or an AAS? I'm going to community college right now and am trying to decide on a major. I'm thinking I will probably major in graphic arts or possibly do a double major in graphic arts and photography. However, does it look better to the college to have an AAS instead of a general AA? Or does it matter? Or is the only point of getting an AAS in graphic arts so that I can work right away???
Answer:
If you want to do the 2 year transfer thing and finish your associate's then have all of your general ed done when you transfer to the university, you need to do the AA. In my state, and most states I know of, only the AA, AS, or AFA will suffice for transferring. Of course you can transfer with an AAS, but your general ed won't be considered completed and since most classes will be technical, they likely won't transfer. If you want to go into the arts field, try finding a community college that has an art department. Mine has an AFA (associate in fine arts) degree program where the majority of classes you take will be introductory art and design classes, but the degree will still transfer as a whole and your general ed will be considered completed. The AAS is like you said, mainly for people who plan on going straight into the work field.As far as which degree they'll be most impressed by, it really doesn't matter if it's AA, AS, AFA, or AAS, it's your grades, GPA, and course selection that matter.

Question : How to I become a pediatric nurse, starting from a community college before transferring?
I'm a junior in highschool, and gaining interest toward a nursing carrer(pediatric nurse)I will attend a community college, before transferring to a university..Some people say that in order to become a pediatric nurse, you need your associates (RN).Some say you need your bachelors (4 years).Also, how will I be able to transfer to a university with a AAS (RN) if only the general courses are transferred? What are the requirements in Virginia?Thank you.
Answer:
In most states, one must have a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in order to become a "registered nurse" (RN). Those with two-year associates (AA, AS or AAS) degree are only allowed to be things like a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or a "License Vocational Nurse" (LVN), but *NOT* an RN. There are, however, states where an AAS would be enough to be an RN, and so there will always be people from said states who are offended by someone like me saying that only a BSN will do it.I'll say, though, that I'd sure not want to be a patient in a hospital where my RN only had an AA, AS or AAS... and I don't give one whit WHOM that offends!In most states, a pediatric nurse is just an RN... maybe with some special additional training, and maybe not. It all just depends on the state.One may obtain a two-year AA or AS (most likely an AS, but definitely *NOT* an AAS) degree from a local community college and then most likely have said AA or AS (again, preferably an AS) degree transfer, in its entirety, into a BSN program... and most likely be counted as the entire first two years thereof... thereby allowing the AA or AS holder to enter the BSN program as a junior, and then complete only the junior and senior years, and then earn the BSN degree.To understand why an AAS degree should not even be considered, read this other posting on that matter which I made just today:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkhAK6FFO.7eEoRgpOiQejzty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=201008231 81506AA2mVtR&show=7#profile-info-dz4eJA2haaOnce one has the BSN, then one may apply to one's state board of nursing to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam, and then, if passed, apply for an RN license.However -- and this is important -- a place like this (or talking to others) is *NOT* the right approach.Nursing is a REGULATED career in every single state. One must have a license to work in that career, and each state's licensing requirements are different. Your absolutely first and only authority on all this is the the web site of the nursing board in the state in which you intend to practice......which, in this case, you've said is VIRGINIA. Fine.... here you go...http://www.dhp.state.va.us/nursing/Start there. Read everything on the site (which is applicable) and, believe me, you'll not need to know (nor would you WANT to know) anything you'd find in a place like this......with the exception, of course, of what you're reading right now.Your SOLE authority for all questions and their answers is the nursing board of the state in which you will practice. PERIOD. Take advice from no other source.Hope that helps!

Question : I have a para cert&a aas degree in leg/sec studies no experience in legal/general office. how do i geta job?
Hello. I have an associates degree in legal secretarial studies. I graduated last year (june 06) I also have a paralegal certificate. I have been searching since I graduated for a legal secretarial position and still no luck. I am working as an accounts payable assistant and obviously, this is not what I want to do. I plan on staying with this company for a little over a year gain general office experience. Am I making the right decision. Is there anything else I can do? I also have another thing. I was working in a law firm for about two months. I found out about the job through a temp agency. I went on the interview and they hired me. Two months after they fired me. I dont want to keep going through this. I need advice. What should I do???? Since graduation, I have been working through agenies, worked in the law firm and now I have this job. Any advice on how I can really get the job I want?
Answer:
Are you going through a temp agency that specializes in finding jobs in the legal field? If not, try that. There are MANY agencies that specialize in finding jobs in the legal field (secretaries, paralegals, attorneys, etc.).Also, join the local bar association as an associate (non-attorney) member. It may cost you some money, but attend all the meetings and you can meet contacts. You can also find out whether anyone is hiring through these meetings and/or newsletter (what county, state are you in?)If you're in California, go to http://www.dailyjournal.com and go to the classifieds section where you can find information about legal recruiters and job openings.Here are a few sites I got from The Daily Journal:http://www.roberthalflegal.com/portal/site/af-ushttp://www.legaloptiongroup.com/http://www.d pijobs.com/http://www.kbajobs.com/http://www.kentdaniels.com/I'm sure there are plenty of temp agencies who specialize in legal staffing jobs that may be able to assist you.The problem with most jobs is that they are at will (unless you work in a government job).

Question : Transferring an AAS in Radiology?
I'm really quite confused. I'm majoring an AAS Degree in Radiology and am told to avoid AAS degrees, because they don't transfer, since I'll eventually be going to a University one day. Why would I want to get an AA/AS degree though? After 2 years, I still won't be making any money and still be where I was when I started, but with an AAS, I actually get to work, make connections, do something in life and not work minimum wage for another 2 years. What makes an AAS less than an AA/AS? I'm fairly certain AAS has SOME general education courses. Also, after I do get my degree, what's next? BS in Radiology? Or some specialized field?
Answer:
Some of the classes you're taking won't transfer to a university because the university needs to offer the same class, and most of them don't offer radiology tech classes. You might have to start over. If you want to be a radiologist, you need a bachelors degree in something, the premed classes, then med school, then a residency in radiology. Radiologists don't study radiology until after med school.
