Taking Opportunistic Classes

This semester I am taking AGRY 598 which is a class that prepares you to take the Part 107 drone licensing test, and teaches you how to fly a drone. Drones are becoming a huge aspect of agriculture, and the more versatile you are before entering the workforce the better. I chose to take this class because I wanted to get my part 107 license and I wanted to learn how to fly a drone. I felt there was no better opportunity to prepare for the exam other than taking the class. Now that we are close to the end of the semester, I can confidently say that this class has been extremely helpful. The instructors go over every section of the exam and help you to learn the material. We also were able to take a “mock” part 107 exam to see how prepared we are for the exam before actually taking the exam. In the next few weeks will have the opportunity to fly a couple different drones at the agronomy farm close to campus. This class has been such a great opportunity to grow and expand while making myself more versatile before graduating and working. There are so many classes at Purdue that you can take to grow and step out of your comfort zone. Being a senior, I can tell you that these classes present some great take-away that you will keep with you forever.
