UMPI Evaluation

[BetaBen]

American Government can be completed on InstantCert and transferred. I would take UMPI's Financial Management because you must complete a specific number of UL courses at UMPI. Ashkir has said Art History on Sophia will fill HUM103.

I was told that, for the BABA in Management & Leadership, 12 credits are need to be completed at UMPI in the major and 9 credits are required at the upper level. I have 13 courses left at the moment and 8 of those (24 credits) are upper levels. So, I figured I might as well try to cover some of the upper levels before I start. I know that Ashkir mentioned that Financial management was very long, so it is one I am trying to cover.

I hope Art History covers HUM 103. Though, based on Ashkir's form, it looks like it covers GLO2:LOE, but not GLO2:LOD (the HUM 103 area).

I also took Financial Management and did not find it long. There's a lot of material in it which there is in the on campus version as well. There isn't an equivalent on Study. Many of the ULs on Study have far more work than UMPI. Like I never recommend taking any English Comp classes outside of UMPI. Sophia has like 5 or more times as much work as the classes do at UMPI when it comes to English Comp. I know I did English Comp 2 on Sophia, got frustrated, dropped it, and took it at UMPI where I finished it 3 days writing 1 paper instead of 6 or 7 like Sophia requires. Remember at UMPI there's only 1 paper/project/exam for the Final Assessment. There are no other assignments.

Ashkir has said on the forum that Art History transfers so you avoid having to take HUM103.

If you need Marketing Management at UMPI, you can take Principles of Marketing on InstantCert and transfer it. It will come in Marketing Management which is UL. I'd also check with Jessica if Business Ethics from InstantCert will transfer in. Sophia has an ethics course that does transfer in. The Final Assessment is a paper about ethics and the president of the college teaches the course. Some people aren't excited to complete that assignment.

Did you (or anyone else reading) take HUM 103? If so, what did your think of it?
