Principles of Marketing (1 Touchstone) and Criminology (2 Touchstones) are now live on Sophia Learning.

Hey guys, I got new info about the Degree Programme in Information Technology at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences available to those of us who are in EU.


The option to enrol in the old 180 ECTS programme expires today 31.7.2024 at 23:59 Finnish time. (catalogue link)
A similar 120 ECTS programme will be offered after that. The price stays the same at 579 € (catalogue link)

I made a little spreadsheet for myself to compare the differences between them. 
Attaching a pdf of it for your convenience. Hope I didn't make too many mistakes.

Quick facts/explanation:

• 68 ECTS of core courses appear to be completely unchanged from the old programme (green on spreadsheet)
  
• 24 ECTS of courses appear to be equivalent between the programmes but are labelled differently (yellow)
  
• 55 ECTS of courses are removed from the programme, that are otherwise not separately available in the catalogue at the moment (orange)
  
• One 6 ECTS course is removed from the programme, that is also available for a fee of 50 € (purple)
  
• The old programme had 27 ECTS of courses that are available separately for free. The new programme has 28 ECTS of courses that are available separately for free. The courses are different between the two programmes. (blue)

I am looking into Davar Academy for UL credits toward my BSBA at TESU. Browsing this forum, I found that Davar supposedly offers 50% off using this coupon: https://www.davaracademy.com/half-off.html. However, when I try to use it to purchase individual classes, it doesn't work. There's also nowhere to enter it when signing up for Davar's "Business Class" membership option. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Thanks in advance,

After years of not being in school I decided to finally get things done. So after digging around, found this forum and started reading up. I think my situation was a bit unique (maybe) as I had many hours from WGU but they were over 10 years old and I was not sure what all would have transferred into any other school. 

So after reading up here, and getting signed up with sophia.org I started tackling some of the electives that looked like they would transfer over to TAMUC in addition the the WGU credits and the few U of H credits. Well, they accepted over 100 hours of credits. So now I basically have a couple of core classes needed, 4 required major courses then I need to fill the rest of the 36 hour requirement and I will be done. 

Now it is a waiting period for the official class start day, but I am excited and interested in seeing how fast I can get this done.

Hi y’all, I’m LJ. Just a little backstory: I was an honor student in high school but ended up getting pregnant and had to take on the world, so I didn't get to go to college. I started a candle and skincare product line where I make enough money to take care of myself and my little one, but I know I need more. I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer, specifically in business law.
I was looking into taking classes on CLEP and Sophia with hopes of transferring 75% of the 120 credits to Texas A&M Commerce into the Competency-Based Organizational Leadership (BAAS) program.
I’ve looked into TESU programs, but it’s so much information that it’s a bit overwhelming.
I’ve studied and read the LSAT like the Bible, daydreaming of the time when I can get the opportunity to move forward. I guess my goal is to find the path of least resistance to getting my bachelor’s. I hope my goals don’t seem too out there, but I’m here to get some real-life advice, as I don’t really have anyone to talk to about these goals other than my 9-year-old, lol.
I appreciate any help, insight, and direction that you all can offer me.

Your Location: Georgia ,USA 

Your Age: 28

Im open to any bachelors that I can get into law school with

Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: I would like to know where to start.
Any certifications or military experience? NO 

Budget: $18K saved up.  I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  

Commitments: I have a 9 year old and I  currently have a small business .

Dedicated time to study: I can can dedicate 5 hours per day to studies maybe a little more.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 1-1.5 years (12-18 months)

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No tuition assistance but would apply for financial aid if it’s an option. 

I'm currently doing an OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Accounting and Finance, and the school requires me to use plagiarismcheck.org.
 
I wrote my assignment without AI, but in a very neutral, descriptive, and impersonal way (which I believe is normal in academia). Since English is not my first language, I probably have more "text book style" transitions and phrases than the average native English speaker.
 
The school requires me to use the paid checking feature of the site to generate a plagiarism/AI report.
 
I got 70+% AI on all the things I wrote. I tried to rewrite it and even tried to use "humanizer" tools on the text I didn't even generate through AI... The percentage only went up, not down.
 
Should I really just rewrite the whole thing in a more stupid and unprofessional way in the hopes of not being flagged?
 
How do you guys deal with such issues? I feel like in an online environment it is difficult to prove your innocence if the school accepts only a single checker. I had 0% AI on the QuiltBot AI checker (a free tool), but the school only cares about the report from that site, which continues to cause me issues, and I didn't figure out a way to change my text in a way that doesn't get flagged as AI while still sounding somewhat academic/professional.
 
Talking to the school didn't help, if that's what you'd like to suggest. I already tried that several times. It feels so stupid to drop a course that's going well due to such a stupid issue, so I really hope someone here knows a possible solution or has experience with this AI checker.

Hi, 

Does any one here have any idea about medical assistance certificate or completed? I am just exploring this option hence starting this thread.

I am wondering how it works when you want to get degrees in different subjects or areas. If I have my Associate's degree, can I get another one if I feel like it and how would I go about that? Does it use the same base education credits that the first one used? The same question for Bachelor's; does it depend on the school? Will one school allow you to do a second Bachelor's and do they use many of the base credits for the second or third degrees?

I'm not looking at it from the perspective of using these for work, but just for the love and joy of learning and I've been impressed by many of the members here who have many degrees. How do you do it?

Thanks!

Afternoon,

I used this forum a ton when initially starting my degree and then life got crazy. It has been a couple of years now and I am ready to get this degree over with.  I only have MAN-4350 Project Management left before I am done. I see that SDC offers an equivalency but I wanted to confirm there weren't any easier options before I proceeded. 

1. A little background that might help: 

1. I currently serve in the military. I know CLEP/DSST only fulfill LL credits but I wasn't sure if there were other options outside of the box such as DAU (I did check DAU. I can only get 1 UL in Project Management).
   
2. I am a federal employee.
   

I have a post in the UMPI thread as well, but I am posting here to give people an idea of timelines and how the process is flowing for the Pierpont BOG AAS.  

I plan on using the AAS as a stepping stone to the BAS at UMPI, where I begin on 9/3.

Dean David Beighley is now overseeing the BOG program, not Nancy Parks.

Applied on 7/4
College transcripts sent 7/4
Accepted 7/8
Credly/Ace transcripts sent 7/25
Credly/Ace credits posted 7/29

My previous community college credits sent on 7/4 are still yet to appear.

My attempts at communication by email and telephone are have not been met with any response, other than an email on 7/16 asking if I still had questions...

I will keep this updated to give others some insight into how the process flows and timelines.

How the Ace credits transferred is in the first reply below.  The message was too long for the system here to post it all together.
