Fall 2022 - What is YourPace?

[sixxx2069]

Hello. I am currently enrolled at UMPI doing a liberal studies w/ criminal justice minor. I like the CBE aspect; it suits my needs. However, I am finding it so difficult to get through the first essay. I have an extremely hard time writing and am doubting whether this school was a good choice. Thankfully I just started Monday and still have time to withdraw. I'm not sure what to do/where to go at this point. 

Since you qualify for the full pell grant, you only need to do two courses a term to be considered full-time,  in which case the term should be free. So I would try it, at least for the first two courses, since you have nothing to lose.  

For me, it's easier to write if I create a detailed outline first. So I would do that first, following the instructions and rubric. Then fill in the content, submit a draft, and see what the professor says. 

How many courses do you have to take to finish your degree? Looks like quite a few more than 10.

Thank you for your reply. I am going to make a real attempt to do these essays. I appreciate the tip about the outline. I have been out of school for 15 years and feel like my brain has turned into soup, so I'm just going to go slow and hope things will get easier.

I have 20 classes left currently but was thinking of switching to a minor in management as that will bring it down to 16.
