UMPI Class Review Master Thread

[Tswede]

I forgot to add that when you dissect the owl pellet, the milestone activity requires you to arrange each bone that you find on a flat surface and label them with the anatomical names, not plain English. For example, the ribs, the pelvic bones and etc. The bones are extremely tiny and fragile. You will need a pair of tweezers or particular apparatus to extract the bones. I used a plastic fork. It took me about 3 hours to dissect the pellet (I did this on my outdoor patio), not including the written portion of the assignment. Delahunty includes in the instructions that if you do not find enough bones or the right bones, your assignment will not be satisfactory.

Yikes! So you can fail if you get sent a "defective" pellet? That's terrible.

Why in the world is this a lab for an online class when virtual labs are a thing?  This seems like a terrible design for a class.  Definitely glad I took a virtual lab when Sophia opened them up.

Semester/Term: Summer 2 2023
Instructor: Zaborney
Long or Short?: Short
Number of Outcomes: 2 real, 1 are you ready, 1 references
Adaptive Outcomes?: No
Number of Milestone Activities: 2
Type of Milestone Activities: Short essay
Type of Final Assessment: 1500 word essay
Notes & Overall Thoughts: Pretty typical and straightforward Poli-Sci class with Zaborney.  Good mixture of previous Dr Z classes and background.  Taking this one at the end after especially taking Am Govt, EU Govt, Marxism and Arab-Israeli made this one a breeze.  I have already been exposed to most of these political ideas this semester, so that made this one a kind of nice capstone, pulling together the things I have been studying.
