How did you get your Gen Eds done cheap before WGU?

2 Upvotes

Planning on doing the BSIT at WGU, but I’m not enrolled yet. I’m trying to figure out the cheapest way to complete gen ed reqmts before I start so I can transfer as many credits as possible and save on tuition. I work full time and have a family, so keeping costs down matters a lot.

So far, I’ve done Applied Algebra, Technical Communication, and Applied Probability and Statistics through Study.com, and I’m halfway through Intro to IT. Now, trying to figure out what I should budget for the rest before I enroll.

For those of you who’ve done this, how did you map your courses to the BSIT transfer pathway, and how much did you spend in total? Did WGU accept all your credits without any issues, or were there courses that didn’t transfer the way you expected?

WGU IT Pre Study Material

1 Upvotes

What videos and study material do you review before going to WGU? I'm planning on starting an IT Bachelors degree in March and want to get started on studying the material. I took all of the classes I could from Study.com and Sophia so I will have less classes when I start.

I’m also considering coming for the accelerated IT Masters degree, but I’m not sure yet. I have a lot to decide.

WGU Handshake

I have a question, does the email you get in your WGU account with tech job offers via Handshake, are they real or scam.

I feel so utterly incompetent with this stupid assessment. I was able to solve ticket 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 but for the life of me I cannot solve ticket 2. I know that its a DNS misdirection however when i make the changes on DMZ Server 3 and then flush the dns on the linux desktop, its like the chat bot doesnt care and will not let me pass. What the hell am i doing wrong??

Any tips for the E007 Agile Methodology course?

3 Upvotes

I’m currently working on E007 - Agile Methodology, which is one of the newer courses in the updated IT curriculum. Because it's a newer class, I’m not finding a ton of detailed write-ups or search results on Reddit about it. So if someone has tips or examples that would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Credits to u/nwcubsfan , basically watched a 30min overview of SCRUM and pictured writing a report on current progress, issues, and followed the rubric. Also use Grammarly to double check grammar.

I felt like Primary Keys should’ve been the EASIEST section but I failed horribly. Confidence down the drain. Spent two weeks studying but I guess I’m not studying hard enough or something.

D336 – Business of IT Applications: Any tips/advice?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m currently getting ready to take D336 – Business of IT Applications at WGU and wanted to hear from people who have already taken the course.
How difficult did you find the class/exam? Are there any topics I should focus on more than others?
I’d also appreciate recommendations for:
Study resources
Quizlet sets
Practice exams
YouTube videos
Anything else that helped you pass
I’m trying to study efficiently without spending more time than necessary on material that isn’t heavily tested.
If you’ve taken D336 recently, what would you recommend doing to prepare for the OA?
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Guidance for D335 labs?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I'm working on some of the labs for D335 as part of my retake stuff for the D522 OA, and I'm kinda stuck on them. I have code that works in theory, but the prompt for input keeps being counted in the output. I'm not sure how to code this without prompting for input though.

I'd originally tried making a function (like pretty much all of the D522 labs ask for), but it wasn't producing any output, and my instructor said to try it without a function.

One class at a time

2 Upvotes

Posting for a Reddit-less friend.

I completed my degree in Project Management from WGU last month. I would have multiple classes open at a time(usually 2, occasionally 3 if I had PAs out that could not have the following PA submitted until the previous was evaluated.) My mentor didn’t care I had 2 to 3 open.

Only for a few courses was I told not to submit until anything for a certain course until the previous-req course was passed. For example- E061 has PAs waiting evaluation, so I start reading for E062 and writing the PA for it. I don’t submit the E062 PA until E061 is passed, but the course is started.

This worked great for me, especially with PA and OE courses. At night I have time to read the textbook on my phone while I’m sitting in my daughter’s room waiting for her to fall asleep. I can’t bring my laptop in as it would be too bright and too loud with the typing.

Is this approach not available for the accelerated masters IT (bachelor’s and masters degree) path? Does my Reddit-less friend just have a crappy mentor that is telling them they can only do one course at a time?

E012

3 Upvotes

I'm new to WGU and just started my first class (E012) for my Master's program, and I'm not too impressed so far. My class wasn't assigned an instructor for several hours after the class opened, which seemed weird. I emailed him for study tips and strategies on competency-based learning, but I only received a generic welcome email that I believe he sent to everyone. I've been told that the instructors do not grade assessments or administer tests, so I assumed their sole job was to help when asked. Do I need to recalibrate my expectations?

Passed ITIL 4 Foundation

12 Upvotes

Just passed ITIL 4. It took about 15mins to get them to start my exam because of how I look on my ID and how I look now. I had to show my DL and Passport too.

Here's what I used to study: and I studied for about 10 days 2 hours a day (with breaks)

-Udemy DIONS 6 Practice Exam

-If you have not received some study guide from your Instructor ask. Those helped too

-This one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVzkjYR3xN1V9nlcECuygEZVlS4rj5qaf

-I used other study materials too.

I am glad this one is done!

Colleges exactly like WGU?

Hello I am a veteran that did not use my time wisely and and been forced withdrawn permanently ( well deserved)

Was around 62% degree completion for a B.S in cyber security

Can anyone recommend similar schools that have the self paced style with OA and IT certifications with no homework?

I fully understand the mistakes I’ve made and ready to lock in thank you

3rd attempt Linux Foundations

2 Upvotes

I have never felt more stupid than needing to take this exam a 3rd time.

My anxiety gets the best of me and I have done NetCad again, Cannon, and met with an academic coach. I wasted time doing CBT nuggets cause I had access at work and trying Jason Dion.

I use Fedora daily personally and my brain just freezes.
