I have these left without including BIO 105. Anyone know which of these are tests/papers? If I go down the SDC for BIO 105 I’m seeing what other class I should take there.
BUS 240 Change Management
BUS 260 Leadership
BUS 321 Human Resource Management
BUS 325 Financial Management
BUS 440 Business Analytics
BUS 415 Operations Management
HUM 103 Creative Decision Making
BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication
BUS 489 Business Policy & Strategy
*edited to add I got an 88% on my final exam for Management Information systems...some of the questions had me scratching my head because the answers didn’t make sense to me but ah well a pass is a pass.
The Management Information systems one scratched my head too. Email Jessica and Cody about some of the issues you had. Like calling 5G past technology etc? I emailed Cody/Jessica about it and they asked the professor to boost my grade on it because the test was wrong.
HUM 103 has a pretty long final too, see if you can get Jessica and the registrar to approve an alternative to that.
The rest of those courses were a casewalk tbh. 489 was ridic easy.
I’m thinking the only course from SDC that would take up that HUM 103 course would be Critical Thinking and Analysis which has 3 assignments. I may be the same boat with either one.
How was BUS 321? I think BUS 106 from SDC transfers for that. Is it a paper or test at UMPI?

I would recommend taking 1-credit biology lab via TEL. You don't need to do 3cr bio +1cr lab, just 1cr lab (it will work though MACU).
The class does require to do several hands-on labs, but these are safe and super easy (no crazy stuff like dissecting a pellet). A couple days of work and you will be done with that class.

Did they give you any more feedback on whether they would accept the coursera? I thought the amount of work for my EDU milestones was a lot but this is insane.I'll let you know if they approve the Coursera course! I haven't gotten a response yet, but Jessica is asking the register if they can take it. I'd much prefer an GIS course over Biology for a lab! GIS is actually useful in today's business world for a Business degree versus where Biology isn't really that useful towards the degree.
Genetics milestone "looks" long but it was actually really fun! You got to create a genetic monster and breed some pigeons in a game. It took a few hours, but at least it was fun! If you do BIO 105 at UMPI this website is going to carry you through the milestones: https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/punnett-square
Bio 105 wouldn't be too bad, if the professor's feedback was clearer or not as strict. She expects perfect 100% and nothing less then that. I feel like this feedback is best left for the final not for the milestones.
UMPI does need to switch to a 100% online virtual lab. The next milestone again (the 3rd milestone I've had) that requires in person experiments/chemicals.
100% Online Coursework
You can access our digital platform anywhere you have internet
that 100% is a total lie.
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - rachel83az - 04-02-2021
Requiring students to get 100% is just insane and unfathomable. Seriously, why?
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - ashkir - 04-02-2021
Genetics got rejected even though I liked it. Why? Because I spelled this syndrome:
Patient C has Extra Chromosome 13, Trisomy 13 Syndrome
as:
Patient C has Extra Chromosome 13, Trisomy Syndrome
Just that single 13 meant the entire assignment, all 8 pages was a fail. ugh
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - rachel83az - 04-02-2021
100% or fail is baloney.
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - bjcheung77 - 04-02-2021
LOL, I thought competency based was to a certain percentage, like 80% or something and off to the next course...
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - ashkir - 04-04-2021
I submitted the last lab! Finally! If this gets confirmed I just have to make a PowerPoint and I'm done! \o/ Woooooooooooooooooooooo.
I really hope I did it right -.-
Spring Session 2 Updates - oroseeo - 04-06-2021
Got BIO 101L Intro to Bio with Lab and BUS 106 Human Resource Management @ study.com approved to take to transfer in. I started yesterday with BIO hopefully it’s painless.
SDC BIO 101L = UMPI BIO 112
SDC BUS 106 = UMPI BUS 321

RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - cmilstead9 - 04-06-2021
I finished 10 courses so far this term and I honestly find the 400 level courses easier than Bio 105 I am not sure if we all have the same teacher but I really feel like it's kinda nit-picky and that is the one I am struggling with the most. Do we have a discord of study groups I would love some more feedback on my labs because I get new feedback on the milestones of each submission?
RE: Spring Session 2 Updates - ashkir - 04-06-2021
If you guys have any problems with any courses at UMPI like running into a wall, or incorrect information. Message Cody & Jessica about your issues, they can help you work through it.
