bjcheung77 - UMPI BAS Progress Thread

[bjcheung77]

I'll be there with you! Hopefully we can all make huge progress towards the one session finish line. I'm sitting at just needing to finish my sophia spanish class and then the 10 req classes at UMPI as well. Good luck everyone

Great stuff, good luck to you and everyone starting Summer Session 2 as well...

That is so exciting! Did you already complete the Google courses? As they are lengthy. Can you share a bit why you are interested in this degree? Just curious. My brother just finished a few months back.

If you're in a state (CA, NY, MA) that still has access to freebies from Coursera/Google, go for it!  The Coursera/TADA offering was too good to pass up, I did all 5 of them... I read people were able to complete each one within the 7 day trial periods offered and that peaked my interest...  When they had it in TADA, I finished them as quickly as possible (one a day, yes, you read that correctly, I finished all 5 in 5 days even with the peer graded assignments).  

With the ENEB/Study.com referrals over the years, my ENEB/Pierpont/UMPI is paid for... I'm doing the UMPI BAS triple minor, this is a 'freebie' and also I need it to setup the 'cheaper' option for UMPI MAOL.  I complete the 4 classes in my BAS (3 going to MAOL), this gives me a higher chance of completing 9 classes in 1 session, verses trying to complete 12 in one session.  The added benefit is, I get another Bachelors!  I've added the AALS as a second program and forgetting it as well...

July 1st

I start July 1... Creating an accountability and progress thread for my UMPI BAS with triple minor, hoping to complete these in one single session.  I only have 10 classes to complete and most if not all of them are already in the "UMPI Master Review Thread".  It's best for me to illustrate it as follows, it'll be easier to 'see' the whole picture with colors indicating what I have and what is required.  See below for details... Red are the ones I have, ** All go towards the MAOL, # Adds up to 10 total

Management Minor Requirements:
#Take these two at UMPI instead of Study.com to round out the 10 required classes!
Study.com Business 209: Mentoring & Leadership Development in the Workplace - BUS 260: Leadership
Study.com Business 306: Strategic Human Resources Management - BUS 321: Human Resource Management

MIS Minor Requirements:
Sophia.org Project Management - BUS 141 Introduction to Project Management w/Microsoft Projects
UMPI BUS 200 Intermediate Business Computing
Study.com BUS 303 Management Information Systems - BUS 244 Management Information Systems
Google Data Analytics Certificate - BUS 245: Programming for Managers
UMPI BUS 345: Database Management Systems
**UMPI BUS 440 Business Analytics

PM Minor Requirements:
Study.com BUS 304 - Leading Organizational Change - BUS 240 Change Management
UMPI BUS 343 Project Risk & Cost Management
Google Project Management Certificate - BUS 400: Project Management Applications
UMPI BUS 401: Advanced Project Management Applications II
Study.com BUS 314 Advanced Operations Management - BUS 415 Operations Management
**UMPI BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication

Remaining Electives Requirements:
**UMPI BUS 335 Organizational Behavior
**UMPI BUS 353 Legal & Ethical Issues in Business
**Classes exempt/transferable into MAOL later

Note: Previously, I have transferred a few of these classes from Sophia.org, StraighterLine, Study.com, etc, but, for residency purposes, I am re-taking these and for retaining previous knowledge, plus use 3 of the 4 classes that can go towards the MAOL as they can't be transferred into the MAOL (must be taken at UMPI for transfer).  

PS: Happy Studies Everyone!  I'll be on the board lurking from July 1 until the end of Summer Session 2, you can PM me if needed.

Best of luck BJ. If anyone can finish 10 courses in one session it's you. I'm doing Summer 2 as well and overlap with you on BUS 200, BUS 440 and BUS 469. PM me if you want a study partner

As I just finished in one session, if there's any assistance I can offer either of you any assistance please let me know. I took the following:
BUS200, BUS220, BUS240, BUS244, BUS325, BUS343, BUS401, BUS 415, BUS400 & BUS469

You are my hero Kyle. I will be very happy if I can complete just five courses with A's in one session. I was planning to take four required courses plus:
Bus 489

Bus 469
Bus 440
Bus 430
Bus 415
Bus 330
I wish I could squeeze in BUS 220 and BUS 325 but they transferred my Sophia communications course as 210 rather than 215 so I have to take 215, none of my English courses transferred as ENG 121 so I must take that and not one of my math courses fulfilled MAT140. What were the assignments in BUS 200? Do you have any advice for choosing a topic? Thanks.

BUS200 is very straightforward and encompasses Excel, Word and PowerPoint. There's a milestone for each and all of them are incorporated into the final. I think that is about as much detail as I can go into without violating the Honor Code. Honestly the best tip I can give if you struggle to pick a topic for any assignment where you have free reign over the topic is  have chatgpt or gemini give you a list of possible topics. I did this for my sophia assignments when I struggled to come up with an idea to write about, it gave me a list and I would pick one and then go to town.

Best of luck, BJ. I think you just answered part of my question that I juuuuust posted. It looks like you're doing more than one minor. Correct?

I’m starting Fall I, I got my transcripts back, but waiting on the advisor to do a physical eval. It’s setup for MIS but looking to add PM and BA myself.

Exciting

Two classes down, 8 to go?!

Just finished 2 of my final assessment drafts myself! Hoping my draft covers everything sufficiently for 4s across the rubric. 

---

What classes did you already finish? I had BUS 200 and BUS 244.  Both were relatively easy, but a little tedious at times. Found myself overwriting on papers and having to cut down on the bulk

looking forward to BUS 359 and BUS 240 next
