Fall 2021 Session 1 -- What is YOURPace?

[ss20ts]

Anyone else getting invites from The Society for Collegiate Leadership & Achievement (SCLA) and the UMPI chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS)?

Notably, NSLS partnered with CHEA/CIQG in 2020 and is recommended by ACE/NCCRS for the learning programs they provide.

They both charge a one-time fee of $95. From what I have seen, they seem to be a mixed bag when it comes to usefulness to students.

Anyone have thoughts on these honor societies and their usefulness in the workplace?

Yup. I get the emails all the time. I just delete them. Neither organization is great. They have no use or purpose. It's not being inducted into the National Honor Society.

In case this is helpful to anyone planning their next classes, I asked Jessica to let me know what ones in my were available first and second sessions so I could decide what class to pick next. I wish I would have thought about asking this earlier, but it does help me plan for a very likely, but hopefully manageable, three sessions.

Yes, but for those in this session, this is accurate as of today.

Yesterday I got a call from John the enrollment guy - he was asking if I am still interested to start school. 

I was like... LOL I'm already on a track to graduate.

Has anyone taken Bus 335 Organizational behavior? It shows a paper as the final assessment. How many pages did it have to be? Any milestones? Time consuming?

I took it 4 terms ago. It was a 10 page paper for me and no milestones. It may have changed.

Has anyone taken Bus 335 Organizational behavior? It shows a paper as the final assessment. How many pages did it have to be? Any milestones? Time consuming?

I took it earlier this month. It wasn't very time consuming. There were 4 pretty straightforward milestones that were 1-2 paragraphs each (1 small case study and 3 self-reflections). One of the self-reflection milestones can be used as a section in the paper, so that is helpful. 

The final is a 5-7 page paper about an organization you were/are a part of and the organizational mechanisms within it. 

I had Professor Jones and she is awesome! She takes the time to give helpful comments/reflections in your papers even if no changes are necessary.

This message sounds so similar to late-night lawyer commercials that I was ready to delete it until I realized that it was a helpful message.
