I had American govt with Zaborney too until about ten days ago. I think some new professors have taken over a few classes that Zaborney taught previously but he's still teaching a lot of the history and political science courses.
Glad to hear he's still at UMPI. I've read great things about him. Best of luck as you finish up at UMPI.
I would love to know your reviews of the classes you are taking/have taken, if you get a chance. Either here or on the UMPI Class Review thread
me too!

I hope to finish my BABA - Project Management degree in the next 2 sessions! I probably move slower than most. I read all the content, take notes and watch all the videos, but words can't express how thankful I am for all of your advice and how happy I am to be making progress.
I am currently halfway through BUS 312 at SDC so I can transfer to UMPI to fulfill BUS 415 Operations Management (Jessica said that was okay).
I was just assigned BUS 325 Financial Management for this term, and I need to ask Jessica for another class. I am most nervous about BUS 440, and BUS 245 based on the reviews I have read on this forum.
Any suggestion on what order to ask for these remaining classes?
BUS 440 Business Analytics (nervous about this one)
BUS 400 Project Management Applications
BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication
BUS 245 Programming for Managers (nervous about this one)
BUS 401 Advanced Project Mgt Applications II
Thank you!
BUS 325 was the worst course I took solely because Cody is SLOW at affirming milestones. The final is a multiple choice exam and wasn't overly difficult although I only got a B on it lol.
BUS 440 is a multipole choice exam and Professor Winslow gives great feedback on your milestones, I enjoyed this class personally, regardless of all the negative feedback you hear about him on here. Just answer the milestones properly.
BUS 469 is a great class and each milestone builds upon itself for your final project, save this one for last in my opinion.
BUS 245 I got the credit for this class by taking the Google Data Analytics certification courses through Coursera, I finished before the 5 day free trial was over so I got credit for the certificate and it transferred right into UMPI as 12 credits with BUS 245 being one of them. If you don't need the course at UMPI, consider doing this. It can be knocked out in a weekend.
BUS 400 and 401 I didn't take so I can't comment on those. I appreciate your great feedback. I considered doing the Google Analytics course, but assumed it would take too long. I may consider taking it now. Thank you for the great feedback re: BUS440. I feel less nervous about that course now, and I will definitely try to line-up BUS 469 for last. Thank you.

Pancman: I am just finishing the first of six units in BUS 325, and so far, no need for a calculator, and the need for one is not indicated in the syllabus. Comments I've read on this forum say it is a math-heavy course and there are required formulas, including the time-value of money (TVM), and net-present-value (NPV). Aside from a basic calculator, I'm hoping that I will be able to use the FV (future value) and PV (present value) functions in Microsoft Excel for any formulas. Fingers crossed.

I am nearing the finish line on BUS440 and did not find it as nightmarish as previously described by others. In fact, the milestone content appears to be different than described by others in the past (Fall 2022 I think). I suspect the course content has changed. I find Professor Winslow's feedback to be useful and appropriate.
Completed
2023 UMPI Bachelor of Applied Science, Minors: Management Info Systems & Political Science, summa cum laude
