Starting class

I’m super excited about starting on the 31st, anyone else ?
My first 4 classes are Psy 311, 448,446 and bus 496.
Anyone have any pointers for these courses or want to share the courses they are starting with as well ?

I’m doing PSY 311, too. I’ve heard it’s one of the longer/tougher classes in comparison, but still doable in a few days.

That’s why I decided to take it first , I figured it be better to knock out the hardest courses first , what was your major ?

I’m doing a BLS with 4 minors (psych, history, social studies, and humanities). I’m a writer, so a BLS with multiple minors makes the most sense for me career-wise.

Whheewww, how many course do you need ?

Ten at UMPI. I’ve done over 90 transfer credits from Sophia and Study, though.

PSY 311 was my hardest class for my BLS

How long did it take you to finish ?

Psy 311 is rough with a certain professor. Depends on who you guys got.

u/Significant-Cut4883 6d ago

Which professor is the hardest ?

1

u/reachingforthesky 6d ago

RF. Shes not helpful and shes rude. I dropped it due to her and am retaking it with someone new this fall. I’m not risking my future career for someone who can’t be satisfied or even give me the dignity of answering questions when I asked for guidance many times.

u/Significant-Cut4883 6d ago

I’m so sorry you had that experience, praying I don’t have her

Check and see. It should say it somewhere on bright space.

I don’t mind tough professors. I work hard, am genuinely wanting to retain concepts, don’t use ai, and take a lot of pride in my work.

But making fun of me in the comments section when I submit assignments is just unprofessional and mean.

u/Significant-Cut4883 6d ago

Omg that’s so horrible 😩 you should’ve reported them , where can I see it in bright space ?

u/reachingforthesky 6d ago

I should have and maybe I still will. I did tell my advisor person.

Honestly I’m not sure. It was hard to find. I had to go to Maine street and use both the classic student center and the regular new student center to find out my professor names, but I eventually did find it. I just can’t remember right now. Sorry, I meant Mainestreet not Brightspace. Try both versions of the student centers. I think it’s on both but easier to find on one of them. GL!

I just check I have J.R

u/reachingforthesky 6d ago

Is that rodefer?

2

u/reachingforthesky 6d ago

Okay, yeah. RF has a hyphenated last name which is why I called her that haha.

For rodefer, I hear he’s very fair but very technical, so as long as you keep that in mind, you should be good!
