ENG 121

[psychcs]

I just completed this course. I received exemplary.  I was one of the people who initially complained due to having a certain expectation based off other's experience.  Once I understood what I needed to do, it was actually a quick course. Here is a tip I have: when writing your milestone papers write closer to the 1000words than the 500. It will make putting the final assessment portfolio together quicker. I personally went ahead and wrote the 1000 words instead of the 500. It saved me for having to get a draft assessed bc my milestones were already assessed as exemplary and my word count was already met. The 4 audios assignments is pretty straightforward. Took me less than 10 mins to do. Just explain how you did your research paper.

Hello 

currently in eng 121 and struggling to get through milestone 1, I am honestly confused by the instructions and would love if you could point me in the right direction. How did you come to understand what you needed to aside from making things portfolio ready from the get go.

Are you an international student? Is English your first language? Asking because if this is why you're struggling, we can help or point you in the direction of where to get help from.

NOT the OP

I have not taken an english course in over 10 years especially college level(any college level course) and it feels overwhelming. It would be nice to be able to see an example of the milestones or a step by step guide to how to do it. Even the first milestone directions have me stumped. 

What are the resources and are they class specific, is there a discussion group somewhere in Brightspace or are there examples of the milestones I can see.

YourPace doesn't have examples. If you have questions or need help, email your professor. Most are happy to help. That's what they're there for. 

There isn't a discussion as you're supposed to work independently and seeing other student's work could violate the honor code. Plagiarism is a huge problem today.

Wow that sucks. I had to drop out of university years ago due to a learning disability, and recently switched from WGU to UMPI specifically to avoid the tests. I was able to get through WGU classes that were papers, because I saw an example of what I needed to do so I could start them and get drafts revisited. This unfortunately is how I learn when I come across something new. If there are no examples I am lost on what to do.

I've put off going back to school for years and am now on my second attempt at an at your pace school and this class for the last ten days has been demoralizing as one of my first two classes. The other course is straightforward in the instructions and I know exactly what to do but this english class just hits me with a rough first milestone. Its feeling like this isn't for me already.
