RE: Draft Feedback - bjcheung77 - 08-17-2023
You just need to 'finalize your work' by making any changes to recommendations (if any). Double check everything, from grammar to spelling, etc. If it's excellent, you rarely have to make too many changes, a double check to make sure all the requirements and the rubric for grading has been followed should be enough for the 'final copy'.

If professor's feedback for final draft is excellent. What range of grade it will be in the final?
Not sure if excellent means nothing to change?
TY!
The feedback doesn't determine the grade. What scores did you get in the rubric? That will help give you an idea. The professor has discretion to determine the grade so don't get too hung up on the 3's and 4's in the rubric. You'll find out your grade after the session ends. Grades are due 1 week after the session ends.

The scores will be in the rubric after you submit the Final version of your Final Assessment. You won't have scores with the Rough Draft.

If you're not looking at semi-competitive programs, then you just need to 'pass' and make sure you have all the required prerequisites for the next educational journey, your Masters. Continue on with your current courses and try to get a better grade in each, your upcoming grades can be used for these semi/non competitive masters programs and can exceed their requirements if you get a higher grade. Note: Most of them require a 3 or higher, the 80+ is a 3 already...
Thank you so much!

80%-83% is a 2.7 GPA.
RE: Need Help! - bjcheung77 - 08-20-2023
You need 80% to pass, It really doesn't matter what GPA you get from UMPI, it'll be evaluated differently at the institution you apply to, as their % and GPA calculations for internal/external credits are going to differ. Make sure to keep above a 3 at the institution you're going to apply to.
Here's some advice for the OP. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-UMPI-GPA-Question?pid=390030#pid390030
And what I also think is 'generally speaking' for GPA purposes: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-UMPI-PLS-HELP?pid=390434#pid390434

My drafts have always either had suggestions on things to fix or add or they've just said that it's ready for me to submit as final.

My BUS 200 grade was only 81. Any way I can improve my score. Like drop and retake or can I change it from Sophia?
TY!
No. But still, a pass is a pass. Whether by an inch or a mile.
