RE: Fall 2021 Session 1 -- What is YOURPace? - jadkins77 - 09-14-2021

I submitted the final for one class and am almost done with finals for two more. I'm finding a bit of stress in the tempo of picking classes. Does anyone have a good process for this? I'm considering just going up the line in the educational studies classes from start to finish, but I also have seven other upper-level classes to fit in. I'm not sure if I should go back and forth with lower level and upper level, or if I will be glad to just go in order and build knowledge.

I would go back and forth between LL and UL. UL tend to be a bit more work. You also need to find classes that are available this term. Every class isn't available every term. Your advisor will help with this.

Would Creative writing be quicker?

I started and finished in 3 days. Final essay requieres a 8-11 pages paper. Submitted the draft and got feedback within a few hours. Submitted the final and got it graded in less that 6 hours. That is officially my first UMPI class completed.

Wow that is incredibly fast!  Did you also have to research and cite sources or since its creative thinking it's all free writing?

I've officially moved into the BA Marketing concentration. I never thought I'd go for a business degree, but only two days in and I'm liking it so much more than the PCJ class. Mind you, I'm only in BUS 101 and BUS 200, so I'm sure later classes will prove more difficult and more frustrating.

No citations needed, but they help a lot to fill the blanks Big Grin

Thanks!  Research and citing take me so long! That's why I was asking ... So thanks!

I think that's three of us that switched. Dr. J said in one of my convos that when she put the program together, she tried to make it as close to what it would be like if we were sitting in the classroom. I applaud that goal, but if we wanted to be (or could be) in the classroom we would. I am so much happier in the path I am on now, too. (Educational Studies and Management if it works out.) The best to you as you move along!

PCJ professor. That's what she went by. I don't know her name off the top of my head.
