Number of Outcomes: 10 (if not mistaken)
Adaptive Outcomes?: Yes.
Number of Milestone Activities: 6.
Type of Milestone Activities: explain some Math problem.
Type of Final Assessment: Quiz in 3 hours.
Notes & Overall Thoughts: easier than Sophia's Introduction to Statistic (althou not related, should be compared to Study.com instead) could be quicker if you take tutoring, the exam was the same as the adaptive just different value.

How many days does it take?
If are you limited by waiting on each milestone to be graded 1 by 1?
If I could spend 8 hours a day on the course, could I finish in 2-3 days?

Subject: Business
Semester/Term: Fall Term 1 2023
Instructor: Brian Richards
Long or Short?: Short
Number of Modules: 6
Number of Milestones: 3
Type of Milestone Activities: Short essays (approx 500 words)
Type of Final Assessment: 1500-2000 word APA paper with recommendations for a change management plan at the company/organization of your choice.
Notes & Overall Thoughts:
    Brian Richards is a great professor. He grades milestones promptly and provides thoughtful feedback. This was a very good short course and I recommend it be taken at UMPI versus SDC.

Name: BUS 466 Governmental and Not-For-Profit Accounting
Subject: Accounting
Semester/Term: Fall Term 1 2023
Instructor: Dr. Michael Curran
Long or Short?: Long
Number of Modules: 7
Number of Milestones: 7
Type of Milestone Activities: 2-3 page APA papers per instructions
Type of Final Assessment: 10 Essay Questions
Compilation of ten essay questions on material from the modules that also requires substantial outside research and sources. This ended up being around 15 pages long in the end.
Notes & Overall Thoughts:
    Dr. Curran is a really awesome professor. He grades milestones promptly and provides interesting feedback. However this course is a complete nightmare. I must have written over 40 pages and at least 10,000 words for this course, which is more than all of my previous accounting courses combined. The milestones are just the worst. Every single one is like write a 2-3 page paper about this laundry list of topics, which actually take 5-6 pages to fully explain. And they don't even tie into the Final Assessment at all either, so it's literally just tons of non-graded busy work for nothing. Whoever designed this course did it like a normal 8 week course with a 3-4 page paper each week and a final paper for an assessment. This definitely is not a CBE formatted course at all. This course was an emailed course prior to this semester as it was not on Strut. The move to Brightspace has made this course a monster. Transfer it in from somewhere else easier at all costs.

I've noticed that there have been a lot of threads by UMPI students asking about certain classes and their difficulties/lengths. Some of the time, these threads are asking for class ideas instead of anything specific.

I'm sure there's a lot of useful information about certain UMPI classes that students would like to know, but can't find much about due to a lack of discussion. Some course info might be out there, but is incredibly scattered and buried in the website's search results. I imagine UMPI speedrunners don't want to start a new thread every single time they complete a course. To solve this, what better than to start a thread to encourage reviewing classes?

Here is a recommended format to follow:

Name: EXL 707 - Example Course II
Subject: Accounting? Business? Something else?
Semester/Term: Winter Term 3 20XX
Instructor: Lastname
Long or Short?: Long / Medium / Short
Number of Outcomes: How many chapters are there? 
Adaptive Outcomes?: Yes / No 
Number of Milestone Activities: How many milestone activities do you have to complete before the final?
Type of Milestone Activities: Quiz? 500-word Essay? Something else?
Type of Final Assessment: Quiz? PowerPoint? 1500-word Essay? Something else?
Notes & Overall Thoughts: Anything else you'd like to say about the class?

A "Short" class is one that takes less than 10 total hours of coursework (reading, watching videos, and assignments). "Medium" refers to one that takes between 10 and 24 hours. "Long" is longer than 24 hours.

For "Number of Outcomes", include ones without milestone activities. "Adaptive Outcomes" refers to when a class personalizes your required lessons based on a quiz at the beginning of an outcome.

This thread is for UMPI's YourPace classes only.

Feel free to fill this out for classes you are currently taking/don't remember much about. I'm sure a lot of the students reading this will appreciate some info about a class instead of none. Filling out every detail isn't necessary.

The future change to BrightSpace will change things considerably, but this thread should be good for now.
