How do you honestly list extra coursework on your resume?

Do you:

• Use labels like “Focus,” “Emphasis,” or “Cluster” (e.g., Focused Coursework under your degree)?
  
  
• Create a “Relevant Coursework” section?
  
  
• Fold it into the Skills or Experience section?
  
  
• Include it in a Projects section?
  
  
• Leave it off entirely?

Medical Terminology (Sophia Learning)

Medical Terminology (ACE National Guide)

I assume most people have heard about this controversy (and it was referenced in a recent discussion on here) so I think its worth having a discussion about this.  If you haven't seen it yet, here is a link to an AP article about it.

When I first heard about this controversy, I rolled my eyes. It sounded like someone wanted a free pass for turning in a sloppy paper and then hiding behind religion when they got called on it. In most college classes, “the Bible says so” is not an argument. It is a belief statement. If you do not connect it to the material and explain your reasoning, you should expect to lose points.

Then I read the actual instructions and rubric, and my view changed. The prompt calls it a reaction paper and it warns students not to write a summary. It asks for a thoughtful discussion of some aspect of the article. The rubric is simple. It gives 10 points for a clear tie-in to the assigned article. It gives 10 points for a thoughtful reaction rather than a recap. It gives 5 points for clear writing. The only hard requirements it lists are word count and basic formatting like font and margins. It does not require citations, outside sources, or a specific style like APA. If that is the grading standard, the right move is to deduct points for clarity and quality. It is not to fail the student because the grader found the opinion offensive.

To me, this clearly looks like a case where a low-stakes assignment (3% of the final grade) asked for a personal reaction to confirm the student had actually read the material and then punished the student for having a reaction that the grader found offensive. There’s a real difference between deducting points for weak writing, overgeneralizations, or shallow engagement and issuing a zero in a way that reads less like “you didn’t follow the rubric” and more like “your viewpoint is unacceptable and I'm going to use my power to force you to say what I want to hear.” That’s the core problem here: if we say “give your opinion,” we can’t turn around and fail students because their opinion is offensive.

To me this is a case where actually reading the material changed my opinion on the topic. All of have biases, and I'm sure that colors my perspective here. If you disagree with my take, I’d like to hear why, especially if you think the rubric supports the zero score.

I am looking to put together a bachelor's in business management or a BLA with biz management minor as easy as possible. Here is a list of the classes I've taken so far. Also I'm a native Spanish speaker so I can test out of at least 3 Spanish cleps. I have all day to work on classes but prefer to avoid essays.  I was thinking yourpace at umpi. Here is a list of classes plus keep in mind Spanish Cleps. Here is the updated Sophia.org list including the semester credit hours for each course: if someone could help me pick the absolute easiest degree to get with these credits as well as the easiest business related Bachelor's

Nonprofit status of Grand Canyon University officially recognized by U.S. Department of Education

This should clear up the confusion. Over the past several years, I'd read that GCU was or wasn't nonprofit. They were nonprofit according to the IRS and NCAA, but not the Department of Education.

There is a related legal entity called Grand Canyon Education and its subsidiary Orbis Education, which is an Online Program Management company similar to what Academic Partnerships was before purchasing Wiley University Services and rebranding as Risepoint. Orbis Education runs healthcare degree programs at these schools: Our Partners Span Coast to Coast - Orbis Education. Orbis even hires and pays faculty for these schools.

Let's say you had some money to spend on a CBE degree in a subject that interested you for a check-the-box or just-for-fun masters. Assuming all other things are equal EXCEPT REPUTATION, such as costs and curriculum (I know they are a little different, but play along with me), would you choose Capella or Walden based on your level of pride/embarrassment at saying, "My master's in ____ is from ____"?

This is not a test, and you don't have to justify your answer. I'm genuinely curious if/how these two are perceived differently.

(I am NOT asking about doctorates.)

It is required for the B.S. Healthcare Administration and there is no way around taking it at UMPI.

I have read the horror stories. Has anyone completed this course? Is it actually the nightmare everyone says it is?

Dear Colleagues,

I hope everyone is doing fine. 

I would like to know about Free of cost / Tuition Free Masters Program.

The only ones I can think of is University of the People and WorldQuant University.

Are there any other tuition free / free of cost Masters Programs.

Thank you!

Following my previous introduction post (https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ated-field) about doing a computer science related bachelor at TESU, I've been following the advice given and settled on a BA CS + BS BA double bachelor to match my background as a software dev as well as my interest in business finance.

I've started putting up together a plan: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

There are still a few unknowns that I could use some advice on.
The current plan is to stat with the BA CS, and take most of the BS BA area of study / professional business requirements as free electives. Then when I'm done with BA CS I should just have a couple more classes (between 5 and 10) to complete the BS BA.

Money is not too much of an issue and I would rather go for convenience / speed which is why I'm aiming to take 2 terms at TESU, the first one will include the cornerstone, BACS capstone, as well as 3+ courses, and a second term to get the BS BA capstone + a few additional courses if required.

There are a few elements I'm still unsure about:
1/ In Gen Ed intellectual and practical skills, is it mandatory to complete one public speaking and one writing course or not? I'm not great in either and would much rather get rid of one of them to take something like MAT-1050-TE applied liberal arts mathematics which would give me 3 RA credits and would be quite easy and quick to complete.
2/ What are the capstones about, and how hard are they?
3/ Same question for the cornerstone
4/ Can CIS-1070 be used for both the professional business requirements in BS BA as well as BA CS computer science elective? I just checked the TECEP and besides some questions about Microsoft software which I'm not familiar with (excel, word and so on), the rest is quite easy for me so would it be smarter to just do the TECEP instead of taking the course with the TESU ePack thing?
5/ Is there any information on FDR-4400 fundraising for nonprofit available somewhere? Haven't seen any equivalence on sophia / study.
6/ Same question about BUS-2100 Quantitative skills for business? Maybe Calculus from BA CS can be used or is it a specific course?
6/ With the current plan I have 12 RA credits for the BS BA and 12 RA credits for the BA CS. A lot of electives can be taken from the BS BA into the BA CS so getting the 30 here should be easy, however only 15 credits from free electives can be taken into the BS BA meaning I would need all these electives to be from BA CS AoS / CS electives taken as RA credits. Any good recommendation for this?
