Fall 2021 Session 1 -- What is YOURPace?

[cpoteraske]

Lets start this term off right! I honestly think I have one class to complete and I'm gonna be at a complete loss as to what I can do the rest of the term.

There's a whole list of courses available. If you've finished everything for your degree, you can take classes in other degrees. Basically any class that's offered this term, you can take. All you have to do is look at the YourPace degrees and find some classes that interest you and ask your advisor if they're available this term. I took extra classes to keep my full financial aid package in my final term.

I would follow ss20ts's suggestion, and if you can get another "minor" out of it, the better! See what other minor concentrations are available, if you only need like 2 or 3 courses, heck, I would get that second minor thrown in!

First four milestones are all essays.

Of one page each.

I like this professor.

Anyone else in the English program this session? I'm excited to get moving!

Has anyone had Professor Jenkins for anything before?

Started World Civ 2 and Early Modern Europe this morning. Made it about 33% through World Civ plus a written milestone. Tomorrow starts with another milestone then as many lessons as I can get through. Pretty good start!

I absolutely love bite-sized nature of learning materials! It feels like a great solution for those with ADD.

I am trying to figure out if learning journals are mandatory. I am very old school and I prefer taking notes by hand, so I would rather skip retyping my notes.

Discussions and learning journals are not mandatory. You don't have to do them.

This! I sometimes do them. I sometimes skip them. If I am struggling on a topic I'll do it to practice. IF not I'll move on.

OLS 600 has a ridiculously long final. About the size of 3 other of the MAOL finals. I guess that makes up for the nice milestones? Lol.

In addition the videos are horrible. This class is very video heavy. First video is in Russian for subtitles so I don't really understand any of it. Second video the accent is so thick it can't even get transcribed. Third video has no caption options. Fourth, fifth, and sixth videos are all auto generated by Google.
