UMPI Class Review Master Thread

[AverageAlien]

Hi all

Great information in this thread. I'm doing the BLS Accounting minor starting spring 1 and most of the classes I have left are required but I can pick from one of the following: BUS 352 (Business Law II), ACC 376 (Independent Auditing), ACC 377 (Federal Taxation I), ACC 378 (Federal Taxation II), ACC 464 (Advanced Accounting). Does anyone have reviews of these classes? After reading through the thread the only review I found was BUS 352 (Business Law II) which was reviewed as short length class. I will probably just go with that unless people have reviews for some of the other classes? Thanks!

You'll find info on these courses on the UMPI Discord if you can't find it on here.

Hey everyone,
Started with two of the ten classes at UMPI, BUS 240 & BUS 220. If I finish these two by the 20th of this month (NOV). Do you think I could take BUS 200 or MAT 140 and finish one of these two classes before the end of the Term. There is so many many papers I feel like I am back in composition 1&2 again. I also wanted to know if I am half way through a class but don't finish will I have to start it all over again and rewrite new milestones. I am not sure If I am even posting this right.

I can't say how long it will take you to complete a course. Are you asking if you don't complete a course during the term what happens? It depends on the professor. Some will let you resubmit the same Milestones and others will require you to write new ones. You will have to start the class over and most importantly you will have an F on your transcript that never goes away. When you repeat the course, the higher grade will factor into your GPA. That F can really harm your GPA and if you're on financial aid you need to be careful so you don't lose it.

Thank you for the response. That is what I was afraid of, having to start all over again. The only way to pass a class I see is with a 3 no more Cs allowed.

Yes you will need at least a B to pass a YourPace class. That has always been UMPI's policy.

Subject: Education
Semester/Term: Fall 2 - 2024

Long or Short?: Long (I spent 33.5 hours on it, but I tend to be slow in all my classes. Others could probably speed this up!)
Number of Milestone Activities: 6
Type of Milestone Activities: Essays, Mock Letters, Classroom Layout, etc. Note: There are 4 hours of observation required - video option available.

Notes & Overall Thoughts: This class had very vague descriptions for milestone activities. When in doubt, always reference the coursework somehow and use APA 7.
