Tips to Maximize Efficiency

[ss20ts]

UMPI won't release the syllabus until you're in the course. The syllabus is really a waste of paper. It's all about policies and blah blah blah. The Final Assessment instructions I found to be far more important as the entire grade is that exam/paper/project.

There are no discussions at UMPI. History courses are all papers or PowerPoints. With the papers and projects you get to submit a Rough Draft and the professor gives you feedback and changes that are needed. Exams don't get a second chance unless you fail. If you fail and exam, you can retake it. It's not the same questions again. I don't know anyone who has failed one of the papers/projects courses unless they ran out of time or if they plagiarized. I do know more people who have failed exams. They didn't really study like they needed.

It seems like the days of knocking out 10+ courses are over with the Milestone affirmations. Don't worry about what others do. I was the first one on here to attend UMPI and share all kinds of info. I completed 4 courses my first session and 8 my second. I was really interested in the courses when I completed 8. It's not a sprint. It's a marathon.
