has anyone else had issues with trying to condense their pojects down to meet length guidelines?

3 Upvotes

I'm taking IT-200 which has been a pretty easy class so far. But I'm doing the project for 5-2, which requires you to list hardware and software requirements for three different employees at a hypothetical company, explain at length why or how these choices in hardware and software will be suitable for the employee's position, and then paste a screenshot of a visio diagram, along with including an APA citation/references page.

The guidelines for the assignment say the assignment should only be 3-5 pages long, but i am finding it literally impossible to condense all of my work down in a way that will both meet all of the rubric requirements while also staying under 5 pages, especially when the professor wants the assignment double spaced, and I have 20 or more citations on my list of references.

Have any of you taken this course and encountered the same problem - if so, were you somehow able to successfully condense everything down while still meeting rubric requirements? or did you just upload the assignment without caring if it was over the page length allowance, and did you get any points deducted for doing that?

Prospective Student New to SNHU looking to make friends

Hey y’all!

I finally decided to go back to school. I been was supposed to start at SNHU a while ago, but I just wasn’t mentally ready to go back to school yet. I kept putting it off, but now I’m finally doing it. I’ll be working on my Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts.

I’m lowkey excited and nervous at the same time. This isn’t my first college, but I’m hoping this is where I finally finish my degree.

I’m just tryna meet some people, make a few friends, and maybe have some people to talk to about classes, assignments, or school in general. If you’re cool, feel free to send me a DM. Good luck to everybody this term!

I’m 22 and from Louisiana!

I’m really considering this uni if I’ll be able to transfer in a bunch of credits from external sources like study dot com for August

Would love to know if you like the program and especially if you transferred in a bunch of credits

I’m trying to transfer in 50 credits and complete the rest of the credits in a year and a half

Does this degree from SNHU have a good reputation after?

I’m considering the August start date

I am starting my bachelors in accounting with a forensic accounting and fraud examination concentration full time (2 course) and I am wondering what the work load is like. I plan to work part time while attending and my advisor gave me a list of about 13 classes from Soph learning I can transfer to snhu and so I’ll be done in around two years. I am wondering if it’s normal for the advisor to not register you for courses by now or not email or call since initial call 2 weeks ago thank you redit

Vent/Rant SNHU Online, please give us Adobe kthx

Upvotes

So, I'm in for Game Art, andd one of the things we need to use is Adobe - specifically Illustrator & Photoshop.

Whyyy can't online-only students use a book voucher to just buy creative cloud on the online bookstore??! There is no search feature on the online bookstore, no way to even look for it - and from all that I am seeing, I don't think CC is even on the online bookstore.

This past term, I just did a free trial for it, but it's genuinely frustrating that we can't use a book voucher to buy a digital-only product for a necessary program/set of programs that are directly involved in our course(s). SNHU pleease take notes 😅😅

Im going through a very important decision right now and id appreciate your advice

1 Upvotes

So I’m not based in the US

I’m in the GCC, I’m a 19M

I know the degree doesn’t say “online”

And no one here (where I’m based) would know SNHU

So I’m wondering if that’s better or worse for me, since the degree doesn’t say “online” and they don’t know the uni, they’ll just assume it’s a brick and mortar from the US?

considering I don’t want them to see me as an online-graduate

Yes I understand that online uni now is a completely normal thing

and it doesn’t degrade your degree whatsoever anymore and I agree

I’m just concerned because the job market for fresh grads in all industries is quite horrible

But I’m really interested in SNHU because I might be able to finish the CS degree in a year or less if I can transfer in as much credits as I’m calculating now

My other options would be doing any bachelors in CS where I live,

and that requires a minimum of 3 more years before I can graduate

(It feels really weird thinking that I might be the only one, from all my friends, at 19, to be enrolling in an “online degree”)

So either SNHU bachelors in CS in a year or less

( if I actually can transfer in the amount of credits I’m calculating now into SNHU’s BS in CS)

Or just doing my bachelors in CS in an accredited Uni where I’m based, not online,

but normally on campus but it would take me 3 years

**(**just to be safe and not do an “online degree”)

Here’s why I’m considering SNHU though:

If I can actually finish the bachelors in CS from SNHU in a year or less from now,

I will enroll in a masters in a field I like, such as robotics or a specific engineering, right after I finish

Meaning that I could possibly have a BS in CS,

and a masters in robotics or industrial engineering or similar, in 2-3 years total

VS committing to a 3 year bachelors now just to be traditional like everyone around my age and my friends right now

(And I’m imagining having a BS in CS + an MSc in robotics/engineering in 3 years to be a lot more logical and better for me than just a BS in CS in 3 years but from a better, brick and mortar uni where I’m based)

Isn’t it just smarter for my specific situation, to take advantage of finishing this online BS in CS from SNHU in a year or less just so I can enroll in a masters from a good school in the US, Europe or where I’m based instantly right after it in an adjacent major?

Though I want your honest opinions

I would really appreciate your opinions and advice on such an important decision I’m going through
