Milestones - jb0433 - 03-03-2022
Hey I had a quick question hope you guys can help me out. I've noticed within a few conversations that have been talks of milestones and final exams. Can someone break down how the courses are laid out such as are those milestones count towards the overall grade or is it just the final etc.

Some courses have Milestones and some don't. It seems like newer or more recently revamped courses have Milestones. They're basically a short essay answering the questions posted on the learning platform. They aren't graded but they do have to be approved by the professor. In my experience, Milestones don't have anything to do with the Final Assessment usually. Your grade is based upon your Final Assessment submission only.

Interesting. That's totally different than the business courses.
