I hope to finish my BABA - Project Management degree in the next 2 sessions! I probably move slower than most. I read all the content, take notes and watch all the videos, but words can't express how thankful I am for all of your advice and how happy I am to be making progress.
I am currently halfway through BUS 312 at SDC so I can transfer to UMPI to fulfill BUS 415 Operations Management (Jessica said that was okay).
I was just assigned BUS 325 Financial Management for this term, and I need to ask Jessica for another class. I am most nervous about BUS 440, and BUS 245 based on the reviews I have read on this forum.
Any suggestion on what order to ask for these remaining classes?
BUS 440 Business Analytics (nervous about this one)
BUS 400 Project Management Applications
BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication
BUS 245 Programming for Managers (nervous about this one)
BUS 401 Advanced Project Mgt Applications II
Thank you!
I just started BUS440 today. So far the material is logical and pretty well written. None of it is incredibly complicated so far but I am only at the first milestone. It seems to currently be a multiple choice exam for the final assessment.
I was a little unsure about this class as well, having seen several others talk about it being a pain. So I put it first in my schedule so that I would have time to really devote to it. I paired it with a class that was reportedly shorter with a fast grading professor (Zaborney) so that I could move quickly through one and not get stuck in two classes that might bog me down at the same time. That's what made sense to me.
Also, I didn't know if any course might provide material that is helpful toward completion of another class.
I thought I had read that Zaborney is no longer at UMPI. I've never had him for any classes. Do you have a class with him?
I liked Professor Michaud's classes - BUS 240 Change Management and BUS 353 Legal & Ethical Issues in Business (the paper for this class took me a while, but Michaud provides great suggestions).

BUS 440 was quick for me. I wouldn't be overly nervous about it.
BUS 400 and 401 are both very straightforward. I actually had some fun with these.
BUS 469 has a fairly long assignment, but the directions really walk you through it, and make it easier to do well.
BUS 245 is challenging for a lot of people. I found the instructor to be very approachable and open to helping.
Thanks for the reassurance about BUS 440. I will ask Jessica for that one next, then. Thanks again.
