UMPI Evaluation

[BetaBen]

I was two classes away from graduating at TESU, but figured I could get through UMPI faster and for less cost. The sound of 30 pages gives me anxiety about my decision. That said, I can get through study.com courses in 7-10 days when there is a paper, but I have not needed to write more than 15 pages per course and don't have any experience with charts.

Don't stress! Everything you need for the papers is given to you. You follow the instructions and the rubric. You get to submit a rough draft and the professor responds with feedback. You make the changes needed - if there are any - and you then submit your final version. it's not bad at all. I didn't have any classes take me 10 days at UMPI. I finished several in 3 days or less including the Final Assessment.

Thanks! I guess I am a bit jumpy as I had a bad experience with the last course I took with a college. Mainly because of vague instructions and rubric that didn't align with the instructor's expectations. It even showed that the average score on some of the essays was a 2.5 out of 5 on the first attempt! I have never seen a college course that shows you what other students scored before. 

Having feedback and specific instructions could be a lifesaver. Thanks for making me feel better about it!

Interesting... If I was just two classes from TESU graduation, I would have bit the bullet to finish faster probably with them.  Is it just the cornerstone/capstone you're missing?

Yes. The cornerstone/capstone and the civics requirement. I was ready to go for TESU's BSBA in CIS, but I was concerned about how they violated the ADA with Ashkir and their mixed reputation for communicating with students. Finishing quickly is ideal for me, and I thought that 10 courses at UMPI could be close to the amount of work needed for the cornerstone and capstone at TESU (I was planning to take 6 months for the cornerstone and capstone). I also really like the idea of having support if I get stuck as well.

Though, I'm not sure I am as efficient at studying as Ashkir or ss20ts. I suppose I tend to second guess myself a bit too much due to anxiety issues.
