Fall 2021 Session 2 -- What is YOURPace?

[carebear_007]

There were several Milestones for Business Analytics as does Strategic Fundamentals. I think he might be new as far as UMPI because he wasn't listed in the competency course list that's been posted on here. I did get an A in Analytics but hoooo boy he made me sweat that A. Every time I turned in a Milestone it was one eye open and fingers crossed. lol

Strategic Fundamentals was the class for BUS440 Business Analytics. Has this changed? There were no Milestones in that when I took it. 

I'm in a new marketing course and the quizzes are annoying. They're those adaptive learning ones. This class doesn't even have an exam! It has a PowerPoint presentation. I don't remember having the adaptive learning quizzes in a class that didn't have an exam before. In my experience, they don't seem to be knowledgeable about the courses. It's like they haven't even seen the course. It's been weird!

If BUS 440 didn't have Milestones when you took it, then yes, it's changed. Looking back at the course, there were actually not "several" Milestones (though it felt like it) but there were only 2. 

That is very strange to use adaptive learning quiz on a course with a FA. Sounds like a waste of time. I'm almost certain that the student's going to need to read all of the Learning Assessment anyway so why not put the quiz at the end of the material like most courses with a FA.

Is this your last term?

There weren't any Milestones in BUS440 last year. I just looked at it because it sounds weird. Milestones with a class with an exam is odd to me. 

The adaptive quizzes are super annoying. Just give me the material to read!

I'll be back for the first term in the spring semester. Then I'll be done. Haven't gotten through classes like I was hoping....lots going on at home. Then I'm off to WGU for grad school.

I had several HTY/POS classes with adaptive learning quizzes. All of my classes were papers/powerpoints. I did not have any exams. My issue with the adaptive quizzes is not being able to plan my work ahead of time. I liked being able to see exactly how much I needed to do at the beginning and schedule it in my calendar.

YES!! I find them frustrating because I plan out my study time and and I can't with those. I have no idea how much reading there is or how many lessons there will be.

I love adaptive quizzes and I also find them fun if the final is also a big quiz

Would someone shed some light on the multiple-choice final exams, are the questions used in the final similar to the quizzes?

Hmm... As some courses have exams, others have assignments, projects, or written works... My suggestion is;
You might want to indicate which course you're referring to as multiple courses are referenced in this thread.

I’m asking specifically about the multiple-choice final exam . 
BUS 330- Maybe, I’m not asking the question clearly. Are the questions in the actual quizzes similar (reworded differently) to the questions in the final, or are they completely different?

I haven't taken Bus 330 but the multiple choice final exam I took for Bus 440 was similar to the quizzes.

I tried Parchement but they have no record of my degree. I order an electronic copy of my transcript via https://www.studentclearinghouse.org/ and I am waiting for it .

No one has a record of your degree. UMPI has the record. UMPI also uses an electronic transcription service. It won't be sent until your degree has actually been conferred. You'll get an email with a PDF unless you paid for a printed copy. Give it some time!

This. The NEXT CONFERRMENT IS DECEMBER 18th. You may not be able to send an official transcript until then.

Yes they are similar to the quizzes. I recommend approaching quizzes like this:

1. Get the quiz answers wrong until they start repeating.
   
2. Then get them right unless it's a new question than get it wrong, purposely.
   
3. Keep doing this and you'd get the entire "quiz test bank" usually around ~25ish per quiz.
   
4. The multiple-choice final is basically reworded quiz questions, the answers are usually nearly almost always identical. 
   
5. When you get a quiz question wrong, UMPI gives you a quick paragraph explaining why the correct answer is right. It is very helpful.
