Exams at UMPI?

[joshua27]

As of right now, the situation at UMPI is largely unchanged. However, I do believe that there are fewer exams and more papers now. We do not know what, if anything, will change when UMPI finally completes its move to Brightspace.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think I've seen a single instance where a course that had an exam now has a paper for the final. We thought UMPI would move YourPace to BrightSpace about a year ago, and even Jessica was advising people that it would happen as soon as January of this year, but still nothing. Also according to Jessica, BrightSpace has no exams. So I guess we'll see?

I think a couple of UL Business courses used to have an exam, but they now have a paper or project? As far as I can remember, ss20ts had a couple of exams that others now report are papers or projects.

BUS 325 and BUS 440 and both exams I can confirm as of a few weeks ago.

[Austin-BeatCancerB17]

Exams aren't proctored.  Don't let that make feel that you can still treat them as open book as in my opinion you still need to know the material.  The questions are generally worded in a "tricky" fashion so you really need to understand the material to answer them correctly in most cases.  I only had 2 courses with exams and my highest score on an exam was a 85 and I was pumped about that lol.

Wait seriously?

were you just not as super studied up for that particular course? I ask because if you had trouble, I definitely will. I don't look for non-proctored to cheat, I actually really don't, I just legitimately have really bad adhd, diagnosed, unmedicated, which I've finally come to accept is truly a learning disability, and this adrenal tumor its been made quite a bit worse. I need a little extra time on tests, but actually, and i blank different than other people do when being watched on tests. 

I have some difficulty sometimes in courses and with exams, that's why I was excited this wasn't proctored,  if it isn't proctored, and it is open book, will I still struggle if I study a bit? do you have to no-life, hyper study to get UMPI done within 4-6 months? (I have 118 transfer credits) I wanna move though UMPI as fast as I can,

I write papers well, but they're always graded down because of professor bias. 

as an example, when I dont agree with something, I use the exact phrase, "according to the textbook... or  according to the material reviewed, this is the answer" and its the right answer. 

But they see that and get offended and grade me down. Every time. 

Holding oneself to your own set of chosen integrity and chosen standards shouldn't be valued less. But of course we don't live in a world of shouldn't, so realistically speaking, asking whoever sees this, how is the UMPI experience as far as professors political biases go?


I just want to get the grade, get the degree, move on. But I've never once comprised who I've chosen to be, and won't now. 

I'm libertarian, not that it matters, because it shouldn't lol, but it apparently does for every professor ive had except one English professor and a web design teacher, so I'm right in the middle of the political spectrum, and because I don't lean left, I get graded down hard with papers, 

Maybe its CA where I'm from, and the professors down here are like that
Maine is 51.3% blue, so I'm not sure. This stuff shouldn't matter, and they say it doesn't but, I mean, literal scoreboard, my grades in classes. And believe you me, I'm not one of "those" students, troublesome who have something to prove or a chip on their shoulder, at all.  I address the prompt to the letter. I just differ with the college's usual bias. 



So from anyone's experience with UMPI or what they've heard, are these papers nice and straightforward, i.e. on this date what happened? who was involved, according to the  material provided - what was the significance of this?

or are they more like "critical thinking" "analysis" papers. Those are the one's I get graded low on. I had to take my final paper to professors who didn't know me, and ask them to grade it to get their opinion as I told them I hadn't submitted it, when they learned I received a C on it and in the course they were legitimately shocked. He didn't change the grade. I didn't go to the Dean, because I technically passed and was tired, but didn't know at the time, because of the grade being incorrectly a C and it not being a B I actually cant use it to count on waiving the CBEST (not the CSET) 

if you get a B in a particular set of math classes (intro to stats for me), critical thinking, and English, you dont have to take the CBEST (its required for prosepctive CA teachers)

and I'm not making anything up here, I can attach the paper,

 

are certain UMPI professors known to have that same bias? 


Oh and before I enroll today do they have any tuition discounts? I checked Onlinedegree.com

thanks all as usual you guys are amazing.

There was 1 class where the change of professors meant a change in the Final Assessment. It went from an exam to a paper. It has gone back to the exam for now. The professor changed again this session so that could be why the changes. The professors do have some leeway in the Final Assessment. Thus far, most haven't changed much, but there have been some changes over the years and semesters.

BUS440 has changed based on the professor. It was a paper for awhile.

Exams are not open book. There are no tuition discounts. I didn't find UMPI professors to have any biases. Follow the instructions and rubrics and you're fine. If you found that using the phrase "according to" created problems in your grading, why continue to use that phrasing? Rewrite your sentences. In college, professors typically want your thoughts with sources to back up your information. They don't want you to write "According to the textbook, 2+2 = 4." That's not you thinking. That's you regurgitating someone else's work. That's not bias. Professors have no idea what anyone's political affiliation is. Rarely do they care. College is all about critical thinking. You'll see this is a category on the syllabus.

[rachel83az]

Part of critical thinking, at the university level, is being able to argue and debate from both sides. If you're on a debate team that's supposed to argue the merits of pancakes vs. waffles, you prefer pancakes, but your team has to argue for waffles, you cannot debate purely by regurgitating textbook facts in the format you've stated. You need to be able to formulate your own arguments as to why waffles are better. Maybe you don't agree that being able to hold more syrup is better, for instance, but you should be able to argue as if you believe it with your whole heart.

Unfortunately, a lot of students get through university these days without out these skills.

In today's world, if you are to the right of Mao Zedong or Joseph Stalin, you are considered a far-right white nationalist by the left, regardless of skin color.

My Story:

I had a professor for my Liberal Arts Capstone who openly stated in the forums that he didn't like Trump. He went around to each student one by one and criticized their thesis ideas. At that point, I thought, 'Do I have some sort of crazy woke professor?' I then realized that I had made the mistake of not vetting my professor by checking the RateMyProfessor website before enrolling in the course.

After checking the website, luckily, it turned out that the reviews were good, and the professor was known for giving out easy A's. This professor happened to be interested in philosophy and cared about how people formed their arguments and backed them up with facts.

I actually liked his in-your-face personality, though it might have freaked some people out.

My Advice:

If you do college online through the colleges we recommend, you won't run into woke indoctrination. If you are graded down for papers, it's mostly going to be because you didn't follow the rubric or your APA formatting was incorrect. Grammarly can fix most spelling and grammar errors.

A little drama makes for a good story after you finish college. Have fun and embrace the experience. In the end, you should receive a 3.5 GPA or better from UMPI.

For example, let's say that every day, we all have to eat from the same buffet that is voted on.

A poll is done, and the findings show that most of us like the idea of adding pizza to the buffet.

However, one side wants only a certain kind of pizza with an exact count of all toppings, such as pepperoni, and so on. Furthermore, all ingredients must be organic and sourced from marginalized areas.

Nobody wants to debate, and nobody wants to compromise.

As a result, nobody gets pizza.

Grammarly can fix most spelling and grammar errors.

Lately I feel like Grammarly wants to introduce more grammar errors than it corrects. I don't know what's gone wrong, but it's not much more to me than a glorified spellchecker most of the time.

You guys are so awesome. Thanks for the actual answers I get on this forum, no one judges in comments, everyone "gets it". This place is like a dream. There's no real drama, everyone just actually helps each other, but gets what they're really asking. 

@LevelUP

I literally couldn't have put it any better myself, I'm the same way with in your face professors, Ratemyprofessor etc, and @Rachel83az I used to actully debate in high school, I just didn't enjoy or see the merit (for myself) of arguing for a side I was well researched on, but didn't morally agree with. I understand completely what you mean about people not being able to see both sides, empathy and then understanding, compassion and action should be the end goal of what comes from "critical thinking". 

We're 100% on the same page.

I think UMPI is, after you've all taken time out of your days and commented, most assuredly for me. If I ever had a bad experience with the college, now I can rest easy knowing, because of you all here right now, its a minority issue, not the norm with UMPI, and to push on, its extraordinarily refreshing to hear, overall there's not going to be that 'woke' bias.

This comment along with what everyone else has been saying, is the legit reason I now feel confident with UMPI, this is exactly what I was looking for and exactly how I study and pass classes. 

Short term, bursts of very diligent hard work. 

This is why I didn't enjoy leveling in classic WoW (wotlk) I like being able to do like a few days of non-stop short term hard work, rest and then again, wash rinse repeat. 

It sounds like UMPI will be perfect for this.




Can you take more than one class at a time?

i.e. while I'm waiting for my draft to be graded, (which i saw on College Hacked video on youtube, can take upwards of 72 hours) can I work on another class while waiting?

When both your current classes are in "draft" you can email and have another class added.  I may have been lucky but I never had any slow down in my studies due to lack of an active class except ONE TIME.  UMPI closes up shop and rolls up the sidewalks around noon on fridays.  Make sure that if you need another class that you get it added before then.  I wasted one weekend without a class because I forgot to get something added and then finished up my existing work a little faster than I anticipated I would.  It worked out.  I played Hogwarts Legacy and hung out with my kids all weekend which was good for me because I needed a break.
