The majority of my classes will be EDU this session.  I do have to take ENG 121 Information Literacy, which I am not looking forward to.  I heard about how easy it was and then was reading where a new professor has come in and it is much more difficult.  Anyone who has done that class with the latest prof is free to chime in and give me any and all tips.  Ready to get it all done and GRADUATE!!

I finished this class last term and was extremely frustrated with it. It shouldn't be as difficult as the professor made it. There are a few milestones that require APA citation, and the final is an annotated bibliography for a paper that you don't have to write. Should be simple enough, right? Your citations have to be 100% perfect. I've taken a class that focussed only on APA 7 citation previously, and used APA 7 at TESU with no problems. However, I struggled with this class because the professor kept saying my citations were incorrect and instead of telling me what I did wrong, would direct me to Purdue OWL. I had to take screencaps to send to her to prove that how I was citing was based on Purdue's APA 7 guidelines. She said my draft had MLA citations, and there were a few other frustrating comments that just didn't make sense to me. My cousin has a Doctorate in Education and looked over my final for me and helped me notice the tiny details in my citations that were incorrect. I passed the class, but the professor still said some of the citations were incorrect when it came to how the volume and issues were written. I still have no idea how they're wrong, but I passed the course so that's what matters.

My advice: seek outside eyes to look over your citations. Document the citation guide you reference and pay attention to every detail on your final citations.

My boyfriend did the same. The professor seems to confuse MLA and APA a lot. He had to go to me for help because he was so frustrated.

She kept telling him to go to Purdue Owl. He did it 100% identical to purdue owl and she still had issues with it. 

I'm working on my doctorate. I know how to do citations by now. 

Very frustrating class. I told my partner to go to Jessica and Cody about it.

I'm wokring on my doctorate. I know how to do citations by now. 

She is a creative writing teacher that writes books about how crystals heal your body. She doesn't use citations in her professional work. She shouldn't be telling us how to do it, because, she doesn't know how to do it! 

Very frustrating class. I told my partner to go to JEssica about it.

I emailed Jessica about the class as well. For a class that should have taken only a day or two to complete, it was unnecessarily long and frustrating because of the professor. I'm at least a little bit relieved someone else had the same frustrations I did because I felt like I was going crazy trying to figure out what she was talking about!

It doesn't help the professor gives you a 4 paragraph response in one giant paragraph. She doesn't know how to line break. -.- My boyfriend's feedback was so bad. Her feedback was so full of typos, grammar errors, etc that she loves to point out back. Her citations were wayyyy off. I had my boyfriend just respond "I'm dating someone working on their doctorate. They said they can help me with whatever style you want, APA, Chicago, APA 6, MLA, from whatever decade you want." 

Suddenly the milestone and assignment got accepted lol

The same thing happened when I mentioned my cousin and her doctorate! She had sent back my final, ungraded, and made this whole stink about giving me a second chance, and how she never does this, etc. How I would fail if she graded it as it was. There were some mistakes, fair enough because she told me to fix certain things on my draft and I tried to figure out what was wrong. My cousin looked it over and most of the things I needed to fix were just reverting it back to what I had originally submitted. There was a book citation that she claimed was MLA that I never once touched, but suddenly the feedback on my final grade said it was good that I included a book and the citation was correct.

I guess the best way to pass this course is to know someone either working on or already holding a doctorate!

I will start using the draft feature on the platform where is that feature located? Currently taking BUS 200

You submit your draft Final Assessment under the Assessments on the Strut Learning Platform. You follow the upload instructions and when you scroll to the bottom of the page you have the option to submit as a draft or as a final. Select draft and approve it. That's all there is to it. The submitting of Final Assessments is covered in the YourPace Orientation on the learning platform if you need more directions.

ENG 151 Intro into Literature and BUS 325 Fundamentals of Finance (Financial Management). Hoping to pick up another class or two this session - hoping is the keyword.

Has anyone taken ENG 151? Hoping it will not be too taxing on my brain as writing papers takes a toll on me.

Well after a bit of research on this site I dropped ENG 151 Intro into Literature and opted to take the Sophia equivalent Art History - glad I did my research as I doubt I would have passed the class without hiccups. I am now taking BUS 352 Business Law II and BUS 325 Fundamentals of Finance (Financial Management).

Which professor do you have? When I took ENG121 it was a breeze. It was done in 3 days. There have been several new professors who are much more ridged.

Thanks!!  I have looked over the final assessment briefly and didn't really understand what she was asking for based on a quick skim.  I will be mindful of citations.  I've had to do a lot of them for other classes and was always told they were good, so we shall see.
