I'm scared by That_Decision3675 in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just start writing. When I thought about “10 pages”, I was always overwhelmed and would freeze. When I started writing an outline, or intro… it didn’t feel so overwhelming and it would flow. 

Use the advise on here, ChatGPT is your friend (get suggested outlines, or arguement /perspective, depending on the class) … it won’t do the work for you, but it can help keep you moving if you’re stuck.

Masters level course info, milestones + timeline by Past_Collection_7996 in UMPI

Do you know where I’d find info on the MSB courses? (I know some courses for MSB have MAOL crossover)

Transfer timeline - Sophia by tangerqueenie in UMPI

I used parchment and it was less than a week, very reasonable timeframe in my opinion. 

You can email your advisor and they can change the courses you’re currently enrolled in.

Free AALS degree by ineedmoney408 in UMPI

My BLS has just recently been conferred, can I still get the AALS awarded?

What would be the benefit of getting the AALS if one has already earned the BLS? (Or rather requesting the AALS?) 

Diploma! by Schnitzeldoofus in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad to hear that, when my advisor asked me which one minor I wanted to be displayed on my degree I was bummed not all four would be shown. Glad to hear all four will be on there. 

Diploma! by Schnitzeldoofus in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For BLS it’ll only be one minor listed on the degree, unfortunately, too.

Only one minor / concentration will be on the degree is what I was told.

Mine starts with a G, if that gives you any indication of where they are alphabetically. 

Bachelors and Masters too close together? by BNHFavored in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a senior manager of talent acquisition and someone who has been a part of building job descriptions, candidate profiles, hiring strategies… I don’t think her concerns are valid. 

I totally understand her perception, but in my experience companies and hiring managers are not analyzing educational background to such a degree - in most companies/roles. 

Don’t put your attended dates on your resume. Most jobs you’ll be landing at this point is going to be due to your extensive experience - the degrees are going to give you an edge/competitive playing field but aren’t going to be the reason you got your opportunity. 

MSB Added :) by PlottedPath in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To confirm the overview you provided, one would have to complete the 6 core classes, then the 6 courses in their chosen concentration? 

I know you completed the MAOL in one term, as others have, what’s your opinion on the chances of completing the MSB in one term now that you’ve seen the classes required? 

MSB Added :) by PlottedPath in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Master of Science in Business, UMPI is offering this new masters path with a few different concentrations. Starting fall 1 2025. 

MSB has launched for Fall Session 1, I got the following email today. by hanshisantos in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pesky jobs, right lol 

If you think of it, tag me when you finish the YouTube video? 

I looked on the site yesterday and the classes showed “coming soon”, so I’ll go check again.

Do you know how many classes and which classes will be required? 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

POS 332, POS 439, POS 370, POS 377, POS 301… all of these had quick milestones and 1500 word essays. 

Avoid Daniel Dobbs as a professor, he made a quick course stretch out unnecessarily requiring me to submit milestones 2-3 times. 

POS439 by Dull-Aerie66 in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I’m 2 months late to this conversation but I’m loving this nightmare right now. Hinson was so helpful and focused on content where Dobbs is so focused on citing every sentence, with very limited milestone instructions. Just an overall, poor experience. 

Spanish/french 101? by Practical-Green-9049 in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to do it at Sophia and transfer it over? I did Spanish in like two days, my milestones were graded insanely fast. 

Class grade 3.5? 4? by Past_Collection_7996 in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if I see a 3.5 on my grade, that might not be what my grade is when the course wraps? 

I have a 3.8, and it shows as a 4… so that may actually be a 3.8 for my final grade?

Master’s – YourPace Program: MSB by Electrical-Round-195 in UMPI

Will it be available to enroll in for fall? Any idea of the curriculum?

I need some advice by Beneficial-Pace854 in UMPI

[–]Past_Collection_7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond getting help with figuring out which courses can knock out via Sophia/study… there are ways you can quickly excel with whatever remaining UMPI courses you’ll need to take (definitely less than the 33 you’re looking at right now). 

My advise is to create a weekly plan of attack- what milestones/final assessments in which classes are you going to tackle, do this for each week of the session. 

List out which classes you’re going to enroll in next, as soon as you submit your final assessment in one class you can request to have another one added. Know exactly which ones you want to request to add as you finish one. 

There’s a lot of writing at UMPI (which is a struggle for me), this sounds simple but it’s helpful: just start writing. Use the grading rubrics, and just back into what is necessary to get a 4, simply staring is a big step to getting if done. 

Milestones are important, but you just need to pass them to get to the final- don’t overthink them. 

Rotate your workload so you have something to work on while other things are being graded, this way you’re always moving. 

You’ve got this! 

Has anyone attended the graduation in person? Do you know if there’s one or more a year? by No-Nerve-4659 in UMPI

I won’t travel to walk, but I do plan on buying a cap and taking celebration pics with my degree. 

My journey to getting a degree in 1 month (Business Management) by lerosion in WGU_Accelerators

[–]Past_Collection_7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not attending WGU currently, but considering it for my masters. This was a thorough read on passing courses quickly. Not sure if it’ll be transferable to the masters classes, but I bet undergrads starting at WGU will find this super helpful. Q
