Hi everyone: I am curious to see if anybody has taken BUS 440 Business Analytics at UMPI. I was given a choice to take it as an elective, and I would like to know if the final is a paper or multiple-choice exam.
I am looking for four more UL courses with multiple choice finals. I have been writting papers like a maniac, and I could use a break. Any recommendations?

The Final Assessments change periodically so those of us who have completed courses in the past may have had different assignments. I know some classes have changed. One changed the programming language. The best thing to do is speak to your advisor and they can let you know which classes have a written final exam for the Final Assessment and which courses will work with your degree plan.

You can ask your advisor which are multiple choice vs essays like ss20ts did. I did this during my undergrad to accelerate.

I happen to be taking it this term. The final seems to be multiple choice.

A tip for multiple choice finals... Always get the quiz assessments for each concept WRONG 4-5 times in a row. Why? Because it has a test bank that cycles through. When you get the question wrong it explains why it is wrong. Sagence Learning "rephrases" these quiz questions as your multiple choice final. So, if you learned and studied your quizzes in detail and why everything is wrong, you will learn everything you need to ACE the test.
The concepts sometimes are very confusing, and the quiz being wrong can give you a very simple explanation or a metaphor that can make it "click".

I talked to Jessica and she sent me a ist of all the available courses, some of which are showing as having Multiple/Choice or other type of objective assessment. But she was not 100% sure about them.

When I completed BUS440, my Final Assessment was a multiple choice exam. I believe all of the exams I completed were multiple choice come to think of it.

I hope that is still the way they do it

For my leadership class on the quizzes that I get a few wrong and I retake it, still it gives me exactly the same quiz with the same wrong questions word for word. No new questions rotating... So if I were to get the same questions wrong a third time would they then rotate?
Or is this only for the courses with multiple choice finals?
Did you prefer the exams or the projects/ papers? Were they lengthy, and timed exams? DIfficult? I need to choose upper level electives ...

He talks about adaptive quizzes. Leadership class does not have adaptive assessments.
