2023 SUMMER 1 COHORT - CHAT

Probably not, but will you need any more elective credits when your environmental science class moves up to the GEC? You might want to take one or two non-overlapping quick zero-Touchstone Sophia courses just in case.

I don't think I will, but good point, I'll double check!

BUS 245

The current professor is very available, responsive, and willing to help. The course itself is outdated and doesn't really contain the info you need to complete the Milestones and Final Project. BUT it is still less work than the Google Certificate.

The Google Data Analytics Certification, which I have also completed, is a better-built course, but also a LOT more work. It isn't difficult though and you get 12 credits. So if you need the electives it could be worthwhile.

If you don't need the electives, take the UMPI course. The current Prof is great.

Who's teaching BUS245 now? I had an adjunct who was not thrilled with the course because the content was old and didn't match the Final Assessment at all. The language I had to use wasn't even covered in the course which made absolutely no sense.

It is being taught by Dr. Curran.  The course is still out of date and poorly put together. The content does touch on what is in the final, but not in a comprehensive way. 

Dr. Curran is aware that the course needs to be reworked. (It was apparently very recently handed to him.)  HE is responsive and helpful. And the course requires significantly less than the Google Cert does, so while the Google Cert is, at the moment, a better course; if someone doesn't need the electives, BUS 245 is likely the more efficient path.

This is one of the course which I feel will be GREATLY improved with the move to Brightspace. This is a Strut created course. It felt like it was created in 1992. It was so out of date when I took it a few years ago. It was very poorly organized. The professor I had didn't even know he was teaching it. It seemed like it was given to him part way through the session. His name was not on anything in the course. Not even my registration! It wasn't until grades were posted that his name appeared. It was sooooo strange. 

The language I had to use wasn't covered in the course. At one point, there was another professor who changed the language used for the Final Assessment, but they aren't teaching anymore. I wondered if the change stuck or not. It was very difficult using a programming language not covered in the material. YouTube was my BFF. How did we all survive before Google?

I don't know how I missed this thread but I am also in this cohort, yay!

I tried to quote reply to the person asking about HUM103 but my computer is not cooperating. It's Frusciante. Hope that helps!

currently working on HUM 103 paper .. general advice would help , I'm also unaware of how to cite YourPace, I"ll probably email the professor but if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

just got back my final draft for BUS 260 Philosophy of Leadership, with Professor Richards... He was satisfied with my final draft, fulfilled all the requirements and said I recommend I submitted for final. All in All, it was a short and easy course, and the prof seems very reasonable.

I'm in BUS 260 right now. Just got to the first milestone and hoping to get through the rest this weekend.

Email the professor as every professor has their own way of wanting the material from Strut cited. Some are super picky and others don't give a flying fig.
