Study.com vs UMPI Courses

[joshua27]

I'm about to begin taking my Study.com courses prior to enrolling at UMPI for the Spring 2 term that beings in March.  I'd like some input in on which courses to take at Study.com versus which courses I should take at UMPI.  In short are there any courses I should try to avoid taking at Study.com or conversely at UMPI?

I plan to major in Business Admin with a Supply Chain Concentration.

Courses I plan to take at UMPI:

UMPI BUS 220: Managerial Accounting / Study.com Accounting 301:  Applied Managerial Accounting
UMPI BUS 244: Management Information Systems / Study.com Business 303:  Management Information Systems
UMPI BUS 240: Change Management / Study.com Business 304:  Leading Organizational Change
UMPI BUS 353: Legal & Ethical Environment of Business / Study.com Business 310:  Advanced Business Ethics
UMPI BUS 415: Operations Management / Study.com Business 312:  Advanced Operations Management

Courses I plan to take at UMPI (11 total):  

POS 101 - American Government
BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing
BUS 218: Materials and Inventory Management
BUS 231: Total Quality Management
BUS 323: Fundamentals of Supply Chain and Logistics (Possible Business 315 @ Study.com but I don't think it transfers correctly)
BUS 325: Financial Management
BUS 440: Business Analytics
BUS 469: Strategic Professional Communication
BUS 363: Sourcing Analysis
BUS 412: Supplier Relationship Management
BUS 452: Channel Management

You probably already know this, but you have to take 10 courses at UMPI to meet the residency requirements. Are there other UMPI classes you plan to take that you didn't list? Also, your SDC list is three months of classes, since you can't take more than 5 per month, which means you'd likely be taking classes at UMPI and SDC simultaneously, at least briefly, and possibly paying for a full month for only one class if you do 5 classes in each of the first two months.

If I were you, I'd just take the SDC classes with a lot of overlap. I didn't major in business, so although I took 20 classes through SDC, I took none of the ones on your list. 

But, for instance, you might take BUS 412 and find that by doing so you also completed 10% of BUS 469 and 50% of BUS 452, so go ahead and take BUS 452 at SDC since it's half finished anyway. I'd start with the LL business classes and see which UL classes were most filled out, and then do those. Save the rest for UMPI unless, of course, you have other plans to fulfill your residency requirements. 

Sorry this doesn't really answer your question, but the number of classes on the lists stood out to me more than the classes themselves, which I admittedly know nothing about.

I just realized my initial post had some errors.  I will have to edit next time I’m on a computer and not my phone. I plan to take 5 classes at SDC which are listed first with the UMPI class and then the SDC equivalent.  The bottom 11 classes I plan to take at UMPI.

I need 16 classes total to finish.

Gotcha. Someone who knows more about the classes you're taking can correct me, but I'd honestly do the three lower level courses on your SDC list first and then just see which transferable upper level SDC courses are most complete and do two or three of those.

I’ve never take a SDC class and know absolutely nothing about it but that sounds like solid advice so I’m going to follow that line of thinking. How long does it normally take to complete a SDC class?

Make sure you check out what each course requires on Study. There's 1 assignment for every UMPI course. That's it. Just 1. Many UL courses on Study have multiple assignments and will take longer than UMPI courses.

Is there a way to see SDC requirements without signing up?

Go to Study.com and search for the class(es) you're interested in. (Just to confirm, I decided to look at Computer Science 306: Computer Architecture without being logged into an active subscription.) Click on the class you wanted. It'll lead to a page like https://study.com/academy/course/compute...cture.html

Click on the Syllabus tab. It'll show you how many assignments there are and how many points there are for each assignment. For CS306, there are 2 assignments worth 50 points each. Now, go back to the Overview tab. Scroll down to the "Required Assignments" section. Each assignment is a "lesson". Click on each one and you'll see the basic requirements. You won't be able to see the grading rubric (and sometimes you can't even see the full assignment), but it should give you an idea of whether or not this is even something that you want to attempt.

I was unable to, and outside of sources that can be dated online, the easiest way is to email SDC and explain the reasoning, and they freely provided the information to me. I just shared the classes (four of them) and asked them to confirm the assignment count. If you get pushback by chance, you also have a trial period in which you can sign up and confirm the assignment count, and if you don't like what you find, cancel your account.

Hey, have you taken 323? I'm looking for an easier upper level elective. Prefer somthing with an exam. Any suggestions?
