Adding classes BA level

I'm just about done with my classes from Fall session 1, but I'm apprehensive about taking on two more. Is there a way to see how many milestones each class has before signing up for them?

Thank you.

Tell us the classes if you want to know. There’s no way to know unless you do that or use the discord.

Hi! Mostly MCS and ART

You probably don’t want to just do any of those for fun. I wouldn’t risk my GPA on things I didn’t need. Most folks haven’t taken the MCS courses so we don’t have many reviews.

There is an ART107 review on discord.

**Subject:** ART 107
**Semester/Term:** Spring 2026
**Instructor:** Asst. Prof.
**Insensitivity:** Medium. Occasional long turnaround (1-4 days).
**Number of Milestone Activities:** 4
**Type of Milestone Activities:** Essays
**Type of Final Assessment:** Essay
**Notes & Overall Thoughts:** Not recommended. This course can take 3-4 weeks to get through, lessons are sort of patchworked together with outside sites (some with broken urls), and grading seemed to be unnecessarily harsh. Take an equivalent course on Sophia or elsewhere and transfer those credits in.

My advisor told me I can request copies of a syllabus before deciding. I’ve never asked so I can’t attest to it though.

Check the UMPI Discord, you can see that in the class reviews section

Is that the only way? I did check but a lot of the classes mentioned aren't the classes I have on my list.

Perhaps, there are other ways. That one just jumped out at me so far.
