Hey everyone... Just curious, what was the most interesting thing you've heard when someone was trying to explain why they didn't complete their homework or something along those lines?

Yes, I have a Maltese Poodle mix puppy about 5 months old, he's eaten plenty of my homework drafts I print out, but that's not an excuse I'll use, I get things done accordingly and on time, before the deadlines.

What was a valid reason you've heard before? Most of the valid ones I hear or read about are those who have those 'Life Happens' moments. YouTube has a few of these funnies from kids, I get a chuckle out of them sometimes...

The title says it all. I’ve heard that Excelsior is difficult to map to, which courses can I take on Sophia/Saylor that transfer as upper level before I move on to Study.com? Trying to transfer in 113 credits and graduate after one semester. Thank you in advance!

I believe the majority of my BA General Education can be completed at Sophia, so I'm not concerned about that too much.

My biggest problem right now is figuring out the remaining Area of Study electives for art. I have 6 of 15 from ART-2020 and ART-1370.

I was told I can fulfill the painting requirement by taking Painting I at Sessions. As for Two-Dimensional Design I'm not sure.

Hi,

Has anyone been able to transfer the Coursera MS Dynamics 365 Fundamentals for credit for BUS 244 Management Information System?

Hi everyone!

I am planning on taking the IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specialization course on Coursera to transfer in as BUS245 Programming for Managers for my BABA PM & IS at UMPI. Since the ACE credit recommendation expires on 1/31/2025, what do I need to have finished by that time for it to be accepted as expected by UMPI? Do I simply need to have completed the course by the 31st or do I have to have it listed on my Credly transcript by that date? (Note: I will not be accepted to UMPI until after the 31st.)

My stepdaughter is due to start the MS in Early Childhood Studies TEMPO program at Walden University on Monday, January 6. Her enrollment counselor told her that if she became a member of NAEYC, she would get 50% off tuition for the program. Due to this discount, the program is only 1895.00 USD per TEMPO term (12 weeks). This means that if a person accelerates quickly, they could potentionally early this Masters degree for only 1895.00 USD. Below is a link to the program:

MS in Early Childhood Studies

And here is the link to NAEYC's website:

NAEYC

**My stepdaughter did state that it will take a few weeks for the discount to be applied to your tuition account, as her enrollment counselor stated the discount is applied manually and after Walden verifies that you have joined NAEYC. And if you are enrolling and are not offered the discount, remind your enrollment counselor.**

It looks like a fair amount of new or revamped courses.  As a TESU BACS graduate who did a speed run to the finish line, I've going back and doing the IBM DevOps to fill in some gaps (TDD, CI/CD, Microservices, Containerized deployments, etc) that I need for work.  Looks like DevOps and Full Stack new upper level recommendations, plus there are other certs worth checking out so you can graduate with the skills you want (or just be like me and go back and fill in the gaps as you need - it is impossible to learn everything, but I feel like everyone is trying to do DevOps in the work world)

Hi there,
Greetings
I am a working adult with a tight budget, but would like to continue to pursue study. May I know if you can share your experience with me about which online schools are the most affordable?
1. Field - MBA/DBA or IT related (AI, Big data, Data Science)
2. Online school (either live sessions or pre-recorded videos)
3. Medium is in English language.
4. Okay to have private/own degree (or unaccredited degree, as long as the quality of the education is good and the educational institution can legally grant its degree to the students in its local country/state)

I got to know a lot about ENEB from this forum, however any other institutes besides ENEB?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

Hello, all!
I'm hoping to get some input regarding the best path to obtain a Bachelor's Degree. First priority is speed, and second is cost. Obtained the BOG AAS degree last year, which took approximately 6 weeks. I'm able to work on school studies overnight, most days. I really appreciate any advice!
