Posted by: MuneebAzhar - 06-26-2024, 01:26 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (74)

Hey, Every one 
I am from Pakistan I'm currently in high school I'm considering UMPI yourpace bachelor BBA PM& IS being an international student I want to pursue my masters in Germany or any EU country so I've been looking for some information regarding acceptance of Sophia or other AEC credits on bachelors transcript for masters program but didn't found anything specific ( If anyone got accepted with 90 AEC credits on the transcript please share your experience, especially in Eu ).
Otherwise, the next plan is to complete a whole degree in 2 years (due to financial reasons ) 5 sessions per year 4 courses per session =12 credits similarly 60 credits per year and 60 in the next year 120 credits and the degree is complete.
 
I've no job I can study full time so guys advise me on whether it is possible to follow this track.
how hard are the courses?
 
all of your opinions and advice are welcome I hope to get a great response.

Thanks!

  TESU grants, scholarships award
Posted by: Umm Abdullah - 06-26-2024, 01:00 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

Hello. I am new here and would like to ask for some advice regarding the following issue. I got admitted to TESU and received a go-Tesu award. At the same time I received the Pell grant $11,000 which is streched to 3 semesters. Which one is better to choose? What are the prons and cons of going with one of the choices or both of them?

  Diversity Intercultural Literacy at SDC
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 06-26-2024, 11:51 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (1)

I am trying to figure out which of the SDC courses will fulfill the TESU Diversity and Intercultural Literacy requirement.

I think that Intro to Sociology or any of the history courses would. Any other ideas?

I believe that Human Geography used to, but doesn't any more. And then there was World Religions which is not an option any more either.

I would appreciate it if anybody has suggestions.

  Graduating after a single session
Posted by: kyledudedog - 06-26-2024, 10:01 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

I started my journey in March with 6 credits from my local CC from 16 years ago. As of Monday I have completed 152 credits and finish my BABA PM&IS in a single session. Some of these are more quality of life hacks, but they really helped me manage my courses efficiently, happy to answer any questions if I am able to help. I owe a lot to this forum and would like to pay some good fortune forward.

Here are some things I learned that really helped me get through:
1. Read aloud browser extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail...xt_sidebar
Super useful to listen to course material when you aren't able to sit and read, struggle with reading long documents, need audio and visual stimulation for retention, or just want to listen.

2. Use a digital notes platform that syncs. This could be a document you keep on Google Drive, OneDrive, drobox, etc. or a platform like notion or obsidian (my choice)
This bailed me out on so many occasions I was able to keep all sources that I collected in the same place in a note and access it from all my devices. It was nice to be able to be researching on the go on my phone, copy and paste the link into my notes app and have it ready to go on my computer when I go home.

3. If you have YouTube premium save course videos from YouTube to a playlist and listen to them like an audiobook while commuting or doing chores, doesn't work as well where visuals are important, but any lecture style videos this is incredible.

4. Set up a folder with a subfolder for each of your classes to organize your work and resources (i.e. textbooks and resources) even better if this is cloud synced.

5. Find a solid APA 7 word template and set it up with the universal info like your name, and the university name, that way when you need to write a paper you just open that template and save as "Assignment_ClassX" in the corresponding folder. Such a time saver.

6. If you have a kindle or other e-reader, send the course textbooks to that device if you prefer to read on e-ink, or just want to give your eyes a break.

7. I used AI for a few minor things that I believe are acceptable and ethical use cases:

  • I used an AI tool to adjust my eyes to maintain contact with the camera. Staring into a camera to deliver a presentation makes me feel uncomfortable, this made it easier.
  • Formatting citations, it doesn't always get the information correct, but for me having a preformatted citation to copy and paste into my assignment saved time even with having to double check that it's 100% correct. YMMV.
  • Evaluating sources prior to reading the entire article/study. This one saved me a ton of time when evaluating sources to use in my papers by not having to read some very lengthy studies that I thought would be useful.
8. Know the dates of office closures and due dates for assignments. 

9. Stay in contact with you Academic Success Coach (ASC). They want you to do well, maintaining a good relationship with them can be invaluable. 

10. When in doubt email your professors. Most of my professors for Summer I were incredibly responsive.

11. If you are struggling with a professor, ask your ASC if there is another professor with an opening for the same course. I didn't have to do this, but I know it's an option.

  Did you receive a non-accredited degree / degree mill degree? (Interview Opportunity)
Posted by: mitchell1857 - 06-26-2024, 09:22 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (34)

Hello all, I am doctoral student at The Ohio State University currently completing dissertation research on non-accredited colleges and universities (also known as diploma or degree mills) and I am recruiting adults who have obtained a degree from a non-accredited college or university and would be willing to participate in a 60-90 minute interview via Zoom or telephone to talk about their experiences. I am interested in talking to both individuals who intentionally sought out a degree from a non-accredited institution, or individuals who were unaware that their college was non-accredited at the time of earning a degree.
 
Your participation will help increase knowledge on these institutions, why adults might seek credentials from non-traditional colleges, and higher education more broadly. Please note that all interview data will be anonymized to protect the privacy and anonymity of participants. 

If you are interested in participating in this study, you can follow this link to complete a short Google Form, or email me at mitchell.1857@osu.edu. Thanks!

  DBA in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - Walsh College - 12.5K USD
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 06-26-2024, 09:02 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (30)

Here's the thread from the sister board, it really peaked my interests, similar to another member, I believe this is going to be another "online degree partnership between provider and university" where you're paying for outsourced teaching yet get the same diploma as regular students: https://www.degreeinfo.com/index.php?thr...-usd.63016

The Doctor of Business Administration program is offered in a fully online format by Walsh College in collaboration with Great Lakes Executive Learning. The program provides students with a transformative journey into intelligent systems and data-driven decision-making. By blending rigorous academic teachings with real-world applications, the program equips graduates with the ability to understand AIML and navigate its practical complexities in the business world.

  Need degree advice
Posted by: ffgj - 06-25-2024, 05:46 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

Hello everyone,

I am new in this forum so don't know exactly how everything works here but hope you can help me with my degree!
I studied in bachelor level, 4 semesters electronics engineering in a public university in Kosovo, Europe and then paused for a very long time, 4 years exactly. I have 120 ECTS credits in this field. I am interested in somehow finishing a bachelor degree online. It doesn't have to be exactly electronics engineering, it can be a similar field in engineering or computer science! 
I really need a bachelor degree for work so hope I am here in the right place and you have some good advice what can I do.
Thank you!
