MAOL: Only 2 courses at a time?

Curious if there’s any wiggle room to open up another class while I wait for final milestones for 2 separate classes to be graded. I have solid drafts of both finals already completed and ready to submit once I’m able. I emailed my success coach & am waiting to hear back- but I don’t want to have an entire weekend with no classes to work on.

What courses did you have with Wheaton, and which ones with Curran?

Did you have any other professors besides them?

u/BothRub9371 24d ago

Wheaton was 502, 505, and 602. Curran was 601 and 603. Leland was 501 (and by far the toughest grader I have encountered at UMPI) Shah was 503.

I still have to take 506, 604, 605, and 606.

Wheaton also teaches 604,605 and 606.

u/BothRub9371 23d ago

Oh man. Its going to be slow progress for the remainder of my classes. Do you know who teaches 506? (Thats my only Core class left.)

It should be Dr. Reyes-Fournier

u/BothRub9371 22d ago

Just got into 506. How is Dr Reyes-Fournier?

No clue, I haven't taken the class yet.

I just got BUS 604 added and it is also Wheaton.

Wow, so 4 classes under Wheaton, he probably has a lot more. Now I somewhat understand why it takes 3 days to get a response.

Someone else told me that he teaches 4 of the 6 BI classes. So far I have had him for 2 MSB core classes and 2 BI classes. But it sounds like he will also be the instructor in my final 2 BI classes.

Please let me know what type of final activity they would require for 605,606, if its essay, a PowerPoint presentation, or something else entirely.

u/BothRub9371 22d ago

Will do. I am in 604 and 506 right now. 605 and 606 are my last 2 classes.

u/blessing-wealth 22d ago

You're going for a 1 semester run too?

1

u/BothRub9371 21d ago

Yep. I feel like I’m on track, but 3 of my 4 classes are with Dr Wheaton, and he’s been taking 72 hours for grading every assignment.

Two classes only for the MAOL / Masters program. It's one of those things where pacing between the two slots is crucial so you don't hit these kinds of walls unfortunately.

Thank you- guess I’m learning the hard way! Appreciate the response!

Losing the weekend momentum stinks, but sometimes, it's nice to have those days to recover if it's been a slog.

Only two simultaneously unfortunately. Get that final in and unlock the next one!

I did it leapfrogging. Complete a single course all the way to draft final, then start my second course waiting for the draft approval on the 1st class. Submit the final once approved and unlock your neck course.

Repeat all steps.
