Pessimists sound smart,
Optimists make money.

That is a Nat Friedman quote.

Tony Robbins talking about this
https://youtu.be/SF0KjyiYZd8?si=124Gf-_QGqffg7FI

He referred to a famous researcher Martin Seligman who wrote a book called Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life.

Martin E.P. Seligman also came with the Learned Helplessness theory which is taught in most colleges.

I was trying to track down the data Tony was referring to.

Remember - that has-been, that no one needs around anyhow, tried to cancel Joe Rogan. It was a failure from the beginning. He said to Spotify -either he goes or I go. Spotify said - See ya.

So much fun to see Joe Rogan  was the the inauguration with so many other MMA-connected Trump supporters. 

Hello everyone,

I’m an international student from Egypt considering the UMPI YourPace online program. I’ve researched the program and accreditation process in Egypt and wanted to hear from other international students about their experiences.

My main concerns are:

1. The program is fully online. Could this raise questions about its legitimacy with degree equivalency committees?
   
2. A significant portion of credits comes from alternative sources (e.g., Sophia, Study.com). Does this appear on the transcript, and should I proactively address it with the committee?
   
   

I spoke with my advisor this morning. She waived the 100 credit requirement so I will begin Capstone and 1101 in February. My degree plan is for Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Humanities.

I sent her a list of my Sophia and Study.com courses for her to approve. Do you see any courses that should be taken at Study.com vs Sophia or vice versa or are there any Study.com courses that are especially fast that I could do instead of a Sophia course or two? 

Here's what I sent her:

Sophia Learning:

To satisfy the Upper Level Humanities Credits:
Ancient Greek Philosophy        3 credits
Visual Communication             3 credits
Conflict Resolution                   3 credits

To satisfy required courses not yet taken:
Into to College Mathematics       3 credits
Intro to Ethics                              3 credits

To satisfy Gen Ed Electives:
Essentials of Managing Conflict    1 credit
Art History II                                   3 credits
Intro to Nutrition                             3 credits

Study.com:

To satisfy required courses not yet taken:
Presentation Skills                           3 credits

Total credits from Sophia & Study.com:  25 credits
TESU Courses required:
Capstone (registered for February start) 3 credits
1101 (registered for February start)        3 credits

Transfer credits already accounted for:    89 credits

Total of all credits listed above:              120 credits

My goal is to graduate in June and we discussed that. As long as I transfer these credits by May 1st she said I would be fine. I'm getting busy tonight! I'm very excited and motivated. 

Thanks!

Shannon

I'm doing the yourpace BLS with MIS, and for my UL electives I believe I can get a second minor in History by taking 4 UL HTY courses.

Which HTY classes are the fastest (or easiest) to complete, e.g. amount of milestones, etc.?

Here's my tentative electives for reference:

• POS 343: Marxism
  
• HTY 313 Early Modern Europe
  
• HTY 370: Arab Israeli
  
• HTY 456: Cold War Films
  
• HTY 489: Special Topics in History
  

1. Would you recommend taking different HTY courses than above, i.e. goal is to finish in one term (maybe two)?
   
2. POS 343: Heard this is a relatively quick class is this still true? (I know not HTY)
   
3. HTY 456: Read this is long, but it looks very interesting.  Could someone elaborate on the actual course load, i.e. how many movies?
   
4. HTY 489: Also, read this one is relatively quick, but at first glance I would of thought this would be a difficult course.
   

Hello, I would like to get some advice regarding the following issue. I am pursuing a bachelor of arts in mathematics at TESU and I am close to completing 100 credits. There are 7 other courses I need : Calculus 3, Linear algebra, English composition 2, Public Speaking, 2 upper level math courses, capstone. Does anyone know where to find upper level math courses whicha are cheap and self-paced? I took a D in History of mathematics at tesu and need to fix my gpa, however this course starts in April which would make it not possible to take cal 3 this March at tesu. Can I transfer 2 upper level math courses outside( if I find them) so that this history of math course doesn't apply towards my degree and as a result not count toward gpa at tesu? ( Also, What are the easiest upper level math courses at tesu?

Hey everyone! I know we are all pushing to get our bachelors but I am curious if anyone can provide some newer recent information on these two courses as I only have them to finish my degree.....

and 

BUS335 with Prof Lowe

Thanks in advance!

I've looked through most of the wiki but I'm struggling to figure out what the cheapest option would be for filling a couple of required courses before applying to a master's degree program at ULF.

The required courses are (no labs required)

• General Biology (2 semesters)
  
• General Chemistry (2 semesters)
  
• Organic Chemistry (1 semester)
  

Hey There! I’ve been out of college for about 6 years or so. Im going back to UMPI in March for the summer semester. I’ve transferred over 90 credits from my previous university and am doing the BLS with a minor in History. I’m really self doubting myself that I’m gonna be too stupid for these classes and that I’m going to fail. Can anyone provide tips or encouragement to help ease my mind just worried the classes are going to be to hard and I won’t be able to comprehend anything. Thanks

So I came across this Reddit thread from a year ago where someone claimed they completed a master’s in a month. I assume this was the Tempo program. [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/comments/15pkww6/comment/jvy8hir/][/url]

Now, WGU has been discussed quite frequently in the forum, but particularly alarming is this individual claiming they breezed through the instructional & design program in such a short time - 1/3 of a term, and that one of the classes involved basic photoshop skills…


Can anyone confirm if this is true? If it is, it doesn’t sound like you can learn anything at all…
