Alt to ENG 211 or HUM 103 - CCCC - 01-25-2022
Any alternatives to ENG 211 or HUM 103? I was surprised one of the Sophia courses didn't cover it.

Study.com HUMANITIES 201 Critical Thinking & Analysis should come in as HUM 103 Creative Decision Making and hit the GLO2:LOD requirements...
Having said that, depending on the number of courses you have left for residency (30 credits, UL), it may be easier/faster to finish the course at UMPI

Sophia doesn't have everything you need to complete the GEC.
But, although there is a Study.com alternative, it requires 3 papers to write, so you're better off taking that course at UMPI which only has 1 paper.

Last semester, I took HUM 103 and aced it. It was one of the easier YourPace courses in my opinion. If Professor Zaborney is still teaching the course and you don't mind writing a paper as your final assessment, I would recommend taking it.

If you DO mind writing a paper, then you're going to be mighty disappointed by taking the SDC course which has 3 papers!

HUM 103 was literally the easiest course I completed at UMPI. Professor Zaborney is wonderful and that course can easily be finished in a day! One of my friends took ENG 211 and had the worst time with it. I would skip that one for sure!

Thank you! I signed up and it is Zaborney. I'm realizing I'm enjoying writing these papers at UMPI as it is allowing me to pick topics that interest me.

HUM103 is a class I would take at UMPI. Study.com is far more work than the UMPI course. Everyone can always use a quick easy grade.
