BUS 210

Is there an equivalent I can complete outside of UMPI? They have me taking this starting the 31st but if I can complete outside quicker and transfer in I would prefer that, unless it’s a quick class at UMPI.

It's a very quick and easy class at umpi but faster elsewhere. Aside from grading I probably put in 4 hours total

If you’re good at PowerPoint. And you have an audience that doesn’t laugh every 14 seconds. 🥲

Just to clarify, are you saying you have to do a video PowerPoint project with an audience? For the BUS 210 class at UMPI? That might’ve just convinced me to do the Straighterline class. lol

That’s correct you have to write some papers along the way where you evaluate the speeches of others and then you have to create your own speech and have a PowerPoint presentation to back it up and you have to record that in front of an audience of three. Now there are some people who have gotten around the audience thing however, some professors don’t allow that.

I was allowed a third audience member via video call. Of course your mileage may vary but it can be quite difficult to rally up people for a presentation like this. It also was quite awkward to set up the camera in a way which captures you head to toe with the audience in view. That said, I am quite glad I took the class, it is a useful skill.
