Summer 2021 Session 2 -- What is YOURPace?

[ss20ts]

For OLS 640 I really like Professor Leo Trudel. He's really nice and he leaves awesome feedback. The way it was designed is a bit odd.

1) Every Learning Activity has been locked behind a paywall.
2) I've been asked to write personal essays (about 2 pages worth) multiple times without using "I".
3) You're asked to write a 4 page essay APA cited with personal cites as well, based upon a 300 word article (wtf?)
4) The Outline requirement is 5-7 pages, when the final is only 10215 pages.

Really awkwardly designed. Great content and a lot of great concepts. The assignments are a bit tough, because, they're so focused on personal achievement.

That paywall stuff is nonsense. There's plenty of ways for the program to not use paywalled sites. 

Essays about yourself without I are so difficult! I had to do that at CSU Global and it was a struggle. 

Who writes a 5-7 page outline? I only make them when required and they're really basic....I can't even imagine coming up with 5-7 pages for any of the papers I've written!

It really sounds like the MAOL has to go through some revision. Part of the issue is these aren't UMPI courses. They're Strut courses. So that's probably why they're so different than what we're used to. I don't see many people completing this degree as it is now. Not when they can go to WGU and complete the MSML in a term or 2 with way less work.
