Micro was tougher to fly through, because the tests included so many charts to interpret. Macro also had some, but Micro had more. For me, it was the hardest Sophia class so far. I did finish before midnight, though, so both of those (Macro and Micro) are in the books.
Sophia classes I have completed:
Business Communications - this fills a BLS/Management minor requirement, NOT a BABA requirement
Introduction to Ethics - this fills a GEP requirement
US History 1 - this fills a GEP requirement
Macro - Macro and Micro together cover a BABA requirement (may also be an additional elective since it is two classes - though I do not need the elective, just ECO 207)
Micro - "" "" ""
Sophia classes still on my list all meet BABA requirements:
Introduction to Business
Financial Accounting
Conflict Resolution
Business Ethics (has touchstone)
Business Law (has touchstone)
I plan to save those last two for the end. They may not be marked complete by July 1, but at least the work should be done awaiting grading.
If I complete all of these within the next week, the counts are for BLS, I would need 1 GEP, 5 Management minor, 4 electives. For BABA, I would need 1 GEP, 14 major/concentration.
Any I do not finish would be added to the BABA classes needed, eg if I complete all but one on Sophia, I need 16 instead of 15 at UMPI. But from this point, Sophia would have no effect on the BLS.
In my mind, this is a risk/reward calculation I am trying to make with still some incomplete information:
1. Would the 10 BLS classes, including 4 electives, be much easier and faster than the 15 BABA classes, or is it close enough to barely matter?
2. Is BABA really worth more than BLS in my career field, or is that all in my head?
Sophia's chat isn't monitored over the weekend, so because I still have two classes with one touchstone each that hasn't been graded yet, I may have to wait until Monday to do any more. Unless Sophia surprises me by somebody grading touchstones over the weekend, I guess I'll focus on PMP study until Monday.
Has anybody taken a good number of Sophia classes and a good number of UMPI classes, and feel able to comment on the relative difficulty and how the speed of the two compare? I am wary of false optimism about how the UMPI classes will go, based on how the Sophia classes are going. Thanks!
