I only have a high school diploma and can dedicate over 40 hours a week to studying. I hope to obtain a bachelor's degree in Information Systems from UMPI as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Therefore, I plan to complete as many transferable credits as I can through Sophia and Study.com before applying to UMPI. This is my study plan:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

I would appreciate any advice from experienced friends. Additionally, does anyone have course plan recommendations for UMPI's PM+IS program? Thank you very much for your help.  Heart

Keep in mind you have to do 30 credits at UMPI. But  it looks like you’re going to go the same route I went with alt credits. I went a bit overboard with credits but it looks like you have a solid game plan. I don’t know why straighterline isn’t mentioned more often here but I like their structure the best if you don’t mind a proctored final. Its only 30% of the grade I think so if you get 90+ on the quizzes you can basically bomb the final and get the 70% overall in the class.

Easy, search for 'leapfrog' and my posts... It'll explain the details why Sophia.org and Study.com is the go to combo, previously, it was StraighterLine/Study.com until Sophia.org made their price change...

Straightline isn't like Sophia or Study.com, where there is a step-by-step process to view the content, do quizzes, and then take a final exam based on what you learned.

Often, there is a large, nearly 1000-page, small-print book for each course, making it impossible to read and remember everything unless you are Rainman or something. Their tests are open-book, so you end up searching for the answers.

I feel like I learned better with Sophia, Study.com, or by studying on my own for CLEPs.
