Need Early preparation for BLS with Project management as a minor
#12
@OTmina, do you have time within the month to "preview" and "self learn" project management or relevant courses? Have you finished your Sophia.org subscription? I understand this really isn't what you were looking for, as you were looking to "initiate early work in order to be able to complete 10 classes as fast as you can".

Since there isn't really a way to get started before your enrolment date, that's the only time I would recommend spending any energy on previewing courses, otherwise you'll be too busy during the session to work on anything else. I agree with previewing and self learning before the session starts if you have the time, I would refrain from that once the session starts.

If you were NOT going to UMPI or another CBE degree provider but the Big 3, I would have recommended the same OER open education resources such as Saylor, etc. This is because you can take your time completing your ACE/RA credits and during breaks between semesters before you enroll in the Big 3, you can preview and learn some new concepts on courses you'll be taking.

If you're going for a CBE program such as UMPI, taking time previewing courses or OER textbooks would not be energy or time efficient. Think of them as Davar courses/exams, all the course material are within the pdf/slides, the textbooks are a secondary resource and not really needed. It's like asking yourself to read extra info when all you need are the pdf/slides.

Another example to this is for people taking TECEPS, they have recommended textbooks, for example an obsolete exam, the Strategic Management TECEP. Within the book, they have chapters and case studies, you would just need to review the chapters, there really isn't a need to spend the extra energy/time reading the case studies. It's great to know about them, but not needed at all...

So, you do your thing, what ever it may be... if you do decide to "review something", what I was going to suggest is if you still have a Sophia.org membership going, take the Project Management course but ask for it to not be transferred into UMPI. I would supplement that with the Saylor.org course and exam, again ask for it not to be transferred, you want the knowledge only and ACE credit. When the term starts, drop everything Sophia.org/Saylor.org and focus only on your classes (time management baby!)...
