I am finally about to submit my final draft for my last course at UMPI for my degree! And I couldn’t have done it without the help of you all. Thank you! I will be finishing Bio at SDC over this next week to have it sent over.
I initially signed up for UMPI in the Spring with hopes to knock out all the classes back then, but I overextended myself. I finished two, then the other two were added, and I just stopped logging in. I was working full time, attending Oakton CC, took some extra classes on the side to get the AAS at Pierpont, had just started a Software Engineering bootcamp and was trying to put the pieces of my life back together.
I wasn’t actually planning on registering for the Fall term, but out of the blue, I reached out to Jessica Aug 30th, and asked if it was too late to register for the fall. She responded with, “I’ve added these two classes, and you’ll see them in the morning!” Ha. So the next day began my sprint to the finish line.
Courses this term:
BUS 141 Intro to Project Management
BUS 244 Management Information Systems
BUS 307 Fundamentals of Consumer Behavior
BUS 321 Human Resource Management
BUS 334 Advertising, Public Relations
BUS 345 Database Management
BUS 433 E-Commerce & Social Media Marketing
BUS 440 Business Analytics
EDU 357 Children's Literature (My last class I am finishing now. Not hard, but a lot of work. Seems like a Capstone project)
HTY 370 Topics in Non-Western History: Arab-Israeli Conflict
HUM 103 Creative Decision Making
POS 101 American Government
SPA 101 Elementary Spanish 1
UM_SSR_TSRPT-1.pdf (Size: 5.4 KB / Downloads: 32)
Jessica stated that the two courses I received an ‘F’ for non-attendance back in the spring, will remain on the transcript, but the new grades will replace the old one’s for GPA purposes. Most of these courses will have an 'A' except SPA 101, BUS 334, BUS 440 all have B+. Super frustrating when two of those had drafts, the other was an exam with 88%. Can't wait to see the updated GPA so it can really be solidified in my mind.
I have to add in the disclaimer that I honestly do not recommend this route. I operated on 2-3 hours of sleep per night for about 4 nights in a row then would get a full 8-9 hours for a day, then repeat (with a 30-min nap thrown in here & there). At one point, I was dozing off in the middle of the kiddos’ martial arts belt testing and nearly missed the highlight of the ceremony. Not recommended for any length of time. But I am so grateful to have this almost in my rearview.
Many of you saw my previous posts. I am an ex-convict, single parent/adoptive parent of 4 with two special needs toddlers, who works full time, and I homeschool two children. If I can do it, you can too.
Thank you all & blessings!
