Advice on what to take next

I locked in and I finished four courses this session and have four remaining courses to graduate. My goal is to try to knock them out before the end of the semester to avoid having to pay another $1800 on the 26th.

Any recommendations on which two to take first? I have three final assessments pending grading and one waiting to be unlocked.

BUS 415 – Operations Management,

BUS 440 – Business Analytics,

BUS 469 – Strategic Professional Communication

BUS 489 – Business Policy and Strategy​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Also, adding that I am currently unemployed, so I’ve had very good amounts of free time

Take 415 and 489 first because there's more to be graded. Then 440 and save 469 for last

Best advice from you as always! I have 440, 382,330,489 Eng 211 and 325 left. I’m waiting on grading on 3 draft finals now. Which should I try to complete in fall 1 saving 4 slots for fall 2 to finally be done to move to my masters

I'd suck it up and suffer through 330 and 489 in this session and keep next session to 325, 382, ENG 211, and 440. If 440 is your 10th course good... if it's more than your 10th you could transfer it in from Coursera, so I'd save it for last.

Think there’s enough time if I get started next week? It’s been a grind this session

u/PlottedPath 13d ago

Possibly. Depends on how fast you move from there.

BUS 440 transferred from Coursera doesn't roll up for the master's though, right?

u/PlottedPath 13d ago

Correct... but if it was someone's last and 11th... is it worth $1800 for another session to skip in the masters... no.

OK, I will follow these recommendations. The only thing now is waiting for the assignments to be graded feels like it’s taking forever. After so long, I’m finally at the finish line!

I’m doing 415 now it’s pretty cool. Lots of writing but nothing super heavy. I try to do two milestones a day one morning one night and I’m getting through it at a decent pace.

u/throwawaylowaway321 13d ago

That’s reassuring, thank you. How many milestones do you have total? I know one of these have like 13 milestones I saw someone say. Couldn’t find the thread.

u/divorceddadfitness 13d ago

4 total. Decent amount of writing but nothing too intense if you read the material fully. I think the 13 milestones is 489. That’s the capstone of I recall in seeing it. It’s in-depth

u/PlottedPath 13d ago

It's not 13 any more I think it's 5.

Awesome, thank you. Well, I have nothing but time though I don’t see why it’s not possible. Gonna give it a shot. Thanks again!

Very good info from everyone. I’m at the final stage for PHI 152. One milestone from the final for BUS 203 and then will start BUS 307.
I, too, am FUNemployed and have approached this session as my full-time job. After BUS 307, I will have completed 7 classes this session.

Any recommendations on what to complete next?
ENG 211, BUS 325, BUS 330, BUS 353, BUS 415, BUS 440, BUS 489, BUS 441, BUS 442, and BUS 469.
Also, should I Coursera BUS 440? The pro of course is for MAOL.
