  Study.com Genetics 101 vs Biology 102: Basic Genetics
Posted by: wow - 07-25-2024, 09:51 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, OnlineDegree.com, Sophia.Org Discussion - Replies (3)

Has anyone taking these courses? Is there any difference between the two? Given the breadth of people who may have taken these courses on this forum and the various places they may have tried to transfer them to, I'm wondering if they generally transfer to the same way.

My nephew doesn't know yet where he's going to attend so I can't give specifics on that. But I'm wondering if one of these courses is generally more "advanced" or detailed than the other, or if they both usually just transfer as a biology credit in genetics.

  Musings on the Terms "Woke" and "DEI" as applied to Vice President Kamala Harris
Posted by: Charles Fout - 07-25-2024, 07:32 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (20)

As previously stated, to me "DEI" is simply what we used to call Equal Opportunity. For years I've seen people referred to as the "Equal Opportunity" selection. It was wrong. Just as it's wrong to refer to the Vice President as the "DEI Candidate.' I think it's wrong to try to hurl "DEI" as an insult. Really how can Diversity, Equity, and  Inclusion not be a good thing?

"Woke" is not a new term. For decades black Americans have used the term to recognize those who are aware of racial prejudice and injustice. The term has apparently been adopted by otherers. I do not understand why people hurl the term "woke" as an insult. We should all be alert to racial prejudice and injustice!

lorida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost said on Tuesday that calling Vice President Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, a "DEI hire" was like using a "racial slur."

https://www.foxnews.com/media/florida-la...acial-slur

I agree with Congressman Frost on this issue. It's just not productive to make up these racist dog whistles. It should be simply enough to address every crazy liberal/globalist policy she has supported.

That said, I consider myself a conductor on the Trump Train. Please join me in this plea for UNITY, as we speed toward prosperity and Making America Great Agan. Heart Heart Big Grin

  Question about TESC credits
Posted by: robertturner - 07-25-2024, 03:09 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Hello,
I'm happy when joining this forum. I have a question. Do TESC allow you to splip credits? For example, I need only 4 more credits in Humanities, and I take English Lit for 7 credits. 
Will they accept the situation most beneficial to me and use 3 credits for Humanities and tack the other 3 onto Free Electives?

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

  AFFORDABLE ONLINE MBA OR MASTER DEGREE
Posted by: predetaron - 07-25-2024, 02:57 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (9)

Hello I graduated from university in Cyrpus on Economics back to 2018. Years later, I have decided to do a MBA or Master degree ( if possible IN OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT if not regular MBA  programme is ok) currently i am working in oil sector ( they dont pay high) so it has to be fully online. Curretly I am living in Turkey so i need Europe accredieted University. Between 2018-2022 i lived in USA and had resident permit(its expired but active SSN if it needs) if there is a place both EU and US accredited in USA. 

So since two weeks, I am checking forum and had some ideas that option could be, 

ENEB Which is says $8k it is really high amount that i can not afford. 
Upeople is about $400 for course , around $5k total ? 
Hellenic American University in forum some says its $3k but i did not be able to find that price on their website and that price might be for US citizens.

I really dont know what to do, I will be gratefull for any more school advices specially for legit ones. thx

Note: I wish i knew this website years before bec. this place is a gem.

  Choosing UMPI vs Study.com
Posted by: Ljanelle - 07-25-2024, 12:33 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (8)

I just got accepted to start UMPI in September!!  I've decided to go for the Business Administration degree with the Managment & Leadership concentration.  

This forum has helped me so much!!!  Thank you all.

I'm finishing up a couple required sophia classes this week.  And I've earmarked the 6 classes that I will definitely need to take at UMPI (including 3 that count to the MOAL if I pursue that later).

But the following 7 classes that could be taken at either UMPI or Study.com.   I have no experience with Study.com classes.  Should I use the month of August to knock out a few of these at study.com?  Would they be easier/faster than taking them through UMPI?   Note: I will need to take 4 of these at UMPI - are any of them really easy through UMPI?   

Any advice would be really appreciated!!

So over the summer, I had a lot of free time on my hands since my job gave me paid time off from July 01-August 14. I decided to speed-run some courses and certificates just for fun. Over 18 days of nonstop working on courses (10-12 hours a day), I was able to complete the following.

I was wondering if I would be able to use these credits to create a new degree. I saw they offer an associate's degree in Computer Science and was wondering how many transfer credits will they accept into an associate's program? I already have an RA bachelor's plus tons of extra credits.

Oops it happened again...

We have a new virus! Previously, Corona from China... Now, Nipah from India... Mask up India! Let's try to contain this the best we can and hope for the best as there isn't a vaccine for this newest one just yet, hopefully they'll come out with something soon if this spreads quickly...

Hello,
I can't enroll to WGU for my MBA until December but I was hoping I could get a head start and take a few graduated level courses to transfer over. Are there any? What about transferring over ENEB credits?

Thank you

Planning to knockout 90 credits asap and then enroll and complete a B.A. with Marketing focus at UMPI. How do I know specifically what tests to take through Sophia and Modern States so that they all apply to my degree.
