  Elon Musk is opening a Montessori school in Texas this fall

Elon Musk is opening a Montessori school in Texas this fall


"A new Montessori school is opening outside of Austin, backed by Elon Musk."


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk...39638.html

I like Elon Musk. I like Maria Montssori. Her face was on the Italian 1000 Lire note until Italy switched to the Euro.  I always had fists full of Lire when I was a young Sailor on liberty in Italy. Heart Big Grin

  ENEB to UMPI MAOL?
Posted by: ecdw94 - 08-03-2024, 10:35 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (6)

So, just to clear things up a bit. 

Question 1:

I have done an ENEB MBA & Masters dual program. 
I took the "One Quiz" solution. My grades for every single subject are the same.

UMPI MAOL requires a Bachelors degree from a RA or equivalent institution.

"The University requires an official third-party evaluation of their transcript from a NACES or AICE approved evaluating organization. "

That means, I could use ECE to evaluate the ENEB degrees, and it will probably get evaluated as a Bachelor's degree (accrediated) as shown here (Wiki).

Will this work? 

I have 3 thoughts about that...

1: Every subject having the same grade.... this is weird AF.
2: Using a masters degree that is evaluated as a bachelors degree, for admission.
3: Using a masters degree to enter a masters program?

The third issue is probably not an issue at all, the second probably not too. But the first one?

Overall, what do you guys think?

Question 2:

Another thought if I can't get the funds is, 

simply taking doing the bachelors degree at UMPI, but STILL using the evaluated ENEB degree for admissions so I don't have to use my very difficult to recover German GED. 

Question 3:

Oh, I only have the online ENEB transcripts and degree in .pdf form. I haven't even received the physical degrees nor the the UC1 stuff yet.  I paid for them about 2+ months ago and never heard from ENEB since. How long did this step take for those who already graduated and paid for physical degrees + UC1?

Question 4: 

 I did not include my middle name in the ENEB degree. Is this usually an issue to Universities?


I so overly regret taking the "One Quiz" option. I just thought to save time, did not think, they would simply ignore my previous work and put the same grade on each subject. This looks just dumb.

  Who should I email to for the payment
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 08-03-2024, 02:42 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (13)

Hi there, I have signed for the graduation sheet and I have no idea how to make the payment. It said by using ROAR, yet I've no idea how to proceed. I have chosen to graduate on August 2, but I don't know who to email for the payment issue. I have received my login credentials ( the ones starting with the letter R), and my Pierpont email.  Does anyone know who should I email about the issue? Besides, based on the forum experience, when will I receive my physical diplomas? I lived outside of North America.

Sorry for the poor English, and hope yall have a nice day!

  ACE credits rejected from Individual Learning Account transcript
Posted by: cpaisannoying123 - 08-02-2024, 08:12 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I completed an application for an ILA and submitted a Credly transcript with a bunch of Sophia courses on it, but apparently one of them (Introduction to Web Development CS1005), "is not accepted in transfer by TESU."

Has anyone gone through the process before and got them to add in the courses? The rejected course has an ACE badge, and I was under the impression the ILA was to simply consolidate all external college level education, even if it's not transferrable into an equivalent TESU course.

It's looking like if I want to quickly take a few more Sophia courses and resubmit Credly another transcript for the ILA, I'm gonna have to pay another $419!!!

  Self-paced online college without essay?
Posted by: Nickinspace - 08-02-2024, 04:23 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (18)

Like the title says...

Currently I have 95 college credits, a lot from sophia.org, and some from community college and UMPI.

The problem with UMPI is that basically everything is written essays and I strongly prefer multiple choice exams for the simple fact that I am just not a good writer.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of an accredited online college/university that accepts transfer credits and is mostly tests with questions? 

I understand that it is impossible to avoid essays altogether, but for an English class that is understandable, not so much for a business class, which is my major. (Business Admin) 

Also I know about WGU, but I would like to know if there was somewhere that exists that I can take classes at my own pace, and without exams being proctored which would only slow me down.

Thank you!

  Help! Degree Plan
Posted by: skinmasksean - 08-02-2024, 01:39 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Hi! I'm Sean and looking for some help putting my plan together!

I'm 40, live in California and am looking to transition into tech sales and I'm thinking a BBA @ UMPI to help get me there.
I currently hold a EMT certificate (12.5 credits) from Sierra Community College.
Time is more important then budget. Looking to finish ASAP but will weigh costs if there are more expensive options that speed the process up. Currently have about 4 months right now where I can commit 40-50 hours per week. After that I'd be stuck with evenings and weekends.
Finishing within 18-24 months would be ideal. I have no access to FI assistance.

Thanks in advance for your help!

  TESU catalog lock in
Posted by: doom - 08-02-2024, 11:30 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

I forgot to register for APS-1000-TE for the August term to lock in the catalogue, and I'd like to avoid paying the $163 late registration fee.

Now I have a few questions:

- What if I wait until the new term becomes available and register for that term?
- How do you know when the last time to register for the APS-1000-TE to keep the current catalogue?
- Is there a grace period before I lose my current catalogue?

Thanks.

  New Boston U MS Data Science $25K
Posted by: smartdegree - 08-02-2024, 08:12 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (10)

Offered by Boston University Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences

Program will be launched August 2024.

Cost is $25K and 100% online.  Also, GRE and recommendations are NOT required.

https://www.bu.edu/cds-faculty/programs-...line-msds/

That's a pretty good deal for a brand-name data science degree.  Also, it's offered by BU's main faculty, not their continuing education school.

  Study.com Exam, Accidentally Left Installer Open
Posted by: ExcellentPhoto - 08-02-2024, 06:11 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, OnlineDegree.com, Sophia.Org Discussion - Replies (2)

I accidentally left the PSI Secure Browser installer open while taking my final exam for a Study.com course, I realized about halfway through the test that I forgot to close the installer. I did not open or interact with it in any way during the test. Do you think this will cause an issue? I am on a Mac, if that matters.

Thanks,
ExcellentPhoto
