help with a degree plan for a very tired brain

[dfrecore]

I'm not sure that EC would be a good choice, considering the stricter deadlines of the required 7 credits. It might take a little longer (and cost a little more) to get through UMPI, but one shouldn't have to worry about flunking out because of not meeting a weekly deadline. There is only the end-of-session deadline to consider.

I'm thinking that it's quite the opposite - you only have to meet deadlines for a short time if you do EC, whereas at UMPI, you're going to have end-of-term deadlines every 8 weeks, and if you don't meet them, you can still flunk the course.  AND, you'll have to go back and do another term, and do this over and over until you finish.

UMPI does not insulate you from failing a course.
