Study.Com Transferring These Maybe.

[learningthehardway]

I am enrolled at UMPI for the fall and looking for some UL courses to take for my BLS. I don't have to take all my UL courses with UMPI as someone else here stated I did. I can take some outside of UMPI, I just need to make sure 10 of my courses are with UMPI. I could be told wrong by multiple people on both sides so who knows.

Right now I will take Bus 307, Bus 325, Bus 330 and Bus 440 (Maybe) with UMPI. I already took Bus 350 through Sophia.


I am looking for 3 UL outside of UMPI that will Transfer over to make up my 24 credits. I was thinking the following...

STUDY:
Bus 307 Leadership and Organizational Behavior
Bus 309 Digital Marketing and Advertising
Bus 310 Advanced Business Ethics
Bus 318 Management Ethics

As of right now they all transfer based on UMPI Transfer List on its own website.

Well, that is 4, but I don't know. Just looking for UL classes people can chime in on and how it was. I am not the best with proctored testing but if it is multiple choice I am usually pretty good. Has anyone experienced these 4? If you know of any other classes that are pretty chill on Study that trans as a UL, feel free to let me know. My minor classes and other UL I will take with UMPI unless I decided to do English 101, Hum 103 and Intro To Soc with them. Then I will drop some of the UL to do those.

I just finished BUS 312, Advanced Operations Management, on SDC -- it has an exam plus one 1000-word paper. It appears to transfer in as UL Operations Management.  The BUS 315 course which I also took has an exam plus a 3000-word paper (and doesn't appear to transfer directly) - so if you want a quick-easy bang-out then you can think about BUS 312.

Thanks! I know the exam is proctored which I have no problem with. How do papers on SDC work? Do I write it on windows word, save it then upload it? I never did a paper. I am really trying to avoid them but a 1000-word paper isn't bad.

I am considering study BUS 312 to transfer for UMPI BUS 415. I know everyone’s pace is different, but approx how long did it take you to complete this course? Was the course work super long? Thanks!

In SDC courses with papers, the paper (or all of the papers together, if there are more than one required) form 1/3 of your total grade, and you need a 70% overall to pass. That means if you get 100% on the quizzes (which is absolutely possible), and you do even just a 70% effort on the paper, then you only need a 40% on the final exam. In this way you can sort of "choose-your-own-adventure" to decide what you like better and would like to more heavily concentrate on: the paper or the exam.

Honestly, these papers are easy -- they're not looking for super precision or law-school-level argumentation. These papers do not have to be "good" -- they just have to follow the rubric, answer the question, and be original work. Don't over-agonize these, just knock 'em out. With practice, I think you can learn to dump one of these out in a few hours.

You can use Word, but I do mine in Google Docs. Study.com requires APA format and Google Docs has a handy APA7 template. Use MyBib to gather and track your citation references, and use Purdue OWL for pointers on using APA style. They want minimum 3 references, with one of those being a scholarly research paper.

1000-word papers (you get between 800-1200, so technically if you want to target 801 words, that's fine) generally follow the standard Three-Point Essay format:

• An introduction which sets the context and provides motivation, formulates the question being asked, poses a thesis statement which covers the three points you will discuss below. (Generally the introduction is the last thing written.)
  
• 2-4 paragraphs about how your first point is an answer to the question being asked:
  • one paragraph which introduces/defines/describes the point (a good location for a reference/source) 
    
  • 1 or 2 paragraphs that describe how your point answers the question at hand (a good location for a reference/source) 
    
  • and 0 or 1 paragraphs that either: a) describe alternative ways this point answers the question, b) show one or two other factors that might intensify or weaken how well your point answers the question, or c) describe some competing factor or antagonistic effect that would prevent your point from being an effective answer to the question, and how you might mitigate it.
    
• 2-4 paragraphs about how your second point is an answer to the question being asked, laid out as suggested above.
  
• 2-4 paragraphs about how your third point is an answer to the question being asked, laid out as suggested above.
  
• A 1-2 paragraph conclusion which restates the introduction in slightly different words and brings the paper to a close.
  

You can follow a format like this: https://5homework.com/blog/wp-content/up...ate@2x.png

Where I've seen 3000-word papers, they generally ask for a case study and then ask you several questions motivated around that case study. You can do the same 2- or 3-point approach around each of the questions individually, and you should not be pressed for word count.

Do your basic checks for spelling, grammar and punctuation. Do a check for formatting. Make sure you've answered the questions they asked. Make sure you've covered the rubric. 

Then download a PDF of it and turn it in.

Written out like this, it looks sort of daunting -- but remember:

If you just do the basics -- 

• follow a basic 3-point essay format, 
  
• build an outline of what you're gonna talk about, 
  
• find a few sources that are tangentially related and use them in appropriate places, 
  
• write your main thesis statement and topic sentences first,
  
• make your thesis statement answer the question you were asked,
  
• make your topic sentences support your thesis statement,
  
• fill in 2 or 3 paragraphs with supporting information around each of your topic sentences, 
  
• and make it look good and make sense
  

it's really pretty easy to get a 70-80 on the paper, even if, say,

• your points are kind of weak
  
• your supporting sentences don't really support your topic sentences
  
• your sources are old or not very applicable
  
• your writing is weak or not the most eloquent
  
• whatever your high school composition teacher told you was your weak point
  

and a 70 or 80 on these is all you need, and anything nicer/better is a waste of effort

I've had some exposure to some of this material before in a professional setting, but a lot of it was new to me. Even so, I try to speed-run these courses. I usually don't watch the course content -- I'll skim the lesson text and then go right to the Quiz. If I get 100 on the quiz, great. If I get an 80, I'll retake it and fix the one question I messed up. If I get a 60, I'll watch the lesson, come back, and re-take the quiz.

If you do that, then it's all about how much time and effort you want to put in. If you do a couple hours a day -- by which I mean, you sprinkle lessons in here and there over 4-6 hours of doing other things in a day -- you can probably get through it in a week. Then if you take the test right away, lots of stuff should look familiar. Probably half the test is old quiz questions.

I wouldn't waste my time or money on BUS309 because it transfers as BUS330 which is an exam at UMPI. I'd take BUS330 at UMPI. You can't get double credit for BUS309 on Study and BUS330 by taking it at UMPI.

I'd also keep in mind that amount of work required in a Study course. UMPI classes are 1 paper. Not multiple papers like many UL Study courses. 

You also need to complete the majority of the 24 ULs at UMPI. That's a requirement of the BLS. 

Which minor are you going for?

Most people complete more than 10 courses at UMPI. 10 is the minimum required.
