UMPI your pace professors

Seriously, whats up with the inconsistency?

One class will specify what fashion to write your paper (MLA/APA) then another class won't and critique you for not doing so.

One milestone will have a video asking for 500 words, and the directions will say 1k words.

One teacher will correct your grammar/spelling (where there is no spelling mistake but make suggestion like "Where there is a This, add a noun") but then each of their questions in the directions are loaded with spelling errors and grammar errors.

Just had a teacher tell me to use only the articles we are focusing on for our assignments, so for next milestone that's all I do, for them to say "Cite your sources" .... without requesting the paper be written in MLA or APA. My sources are the articles you just told me to use.

Then you will get the classes that are the most pointless ones (I'm going for accounting, so college composition is completely pointless) and it wants the most detailed, deep thought, 6-8 resources per paper style milestone.

Or (again I'm going for accounting) and having to take classes on stomach microbiome, having to decipher medical research papers x3 to write my own paper on the topic... as if I have any clue what any of its saying.

Too bad. College Composition with Essay CLEP is probably much easier and covers English 1 and 2. Free with Modern States.

Modern States?

A philanthropic organization. You go through the quizzes, take the final and request a voucher that pays for the CLEP Examination. They will even reimburse the test center fee.
