online platform? ease of classes?
#1
I have taken classes at EGCC and TESU.  I was wondering how (1) easy are the classes at UMPI and (2) what online platform do they use?  Is it Blackboard? Moodle or Canvas?

Easy is a relative term. It varies from person to person. It depends on the course, your interest, your knowledge, and your experience in that topic.

Currently all courses on the Strut Learning Platform but they will be moving to BrightSpace later this year if all goes well.

Defining easy as a relative term is perfect:

Example: UMPI English 1 - My assignment was two essays totaling 13-15 pages, and I thought that wasn't too bad (more than expected). My sister was like, 'I heard it was EASY and was super grateful to have already finished the 'Harder' English Comp 1 & 2 options through CLEP. 

If you like to write any count feels pretty easy, but if you don't, a 700-word essay can be soul-crushing.

A little off the post topic, but how did your sister satisfy English Comp 2 with CLEP? I’ve been looking for a way to test out of Eng 2 (Eng121) and haven’t found anything. I thought the English CLEP only covered for English 1? There is a DSST that would satisfy but I have been unsuccessful in getting an answer from anyone at UMPI as to if they accept it or not. Thanks!

I will have to ask how they are coded. She has taken these CLEP exams:

College Composition 
College Composition Modular
Analyzing and Interpreting Literature

*She also took Sophia Comp 2 and hated every second of it. She was stressed about the time for grading, so she knocked out the CLEP exams.

Another option is the TECEP exam at Thomas Edison State University. My oldest sister considered herself a poor writer and was able to pass Comp1 & 2. She's attending ASU through the Starbucks free tuition program and will graduate in 2032 at her current rate of classes  Big Grin

As mentioned here constantly, I would do them at UMPI. Secure some strong marks for your GPA.

The Sophia Eng 2 is supposed to be a nightmare! I just signed up to complete 3 last courses before I start at UMPI on 8/29 with 10 courses. English 105 at Study doesn’t look to hard so I’m taking that to satisfy Eng 121 at UMPI. If I knew there would be a new prof at UMPI this Fall  I would just take it there, but it’s to risky with the prof in place currently.
