Maximize transfer credits or just jump in? (UMPI)

Agreed. I just finished class #11, and at times, it has taken longer for my rough drafts to be reviewed and returned by the instructor than it has taken me to do the material for the entire class. It's unfortunate because you are completely at their mercy, and you cannot move on to complete the class until this process is completed. The rule is they should be reviewed within 72 hours; however, in my experience, that has been the minority. Several of my drafts have been in review status for over a week, which is precious time ticking away, and there is nothing you can do about it. I would send emails after the 72-hour mark but didn't seem to do much. Then once you get a response on the draft and fix anything suggested and resubmit, you have to wait for another 72 hour period (or more) for the final to be graded and get a notification that the competency is complete (provided it is not multiple choice). That has been my biggest frustration. I also wonder if it's because it's the summer session and not the regular school session if the instructors are on summer break and not checking things as much?? Otherwise, the platform has been pretty decent—best of luck to you in knocking out as many as you can per term. I'm on a time crunch, and I completely understand the need to try and get as many classes per session. 

That was NOT my experience at all! When I submitted a rough draft I contacted my advisor and said I needed a class opened. I always had 2 open until the last 10 days. The classes with an exam I would tell my advisor I was taking the exam that day and to open my next class. I didn't wait at all.
