LinuxRacr's Quest for WGU Success...

I'm starting this thread to catalog my journey with WGU. Any relevant questions, comments, advice is welcome here.

I have been enrolled, and am set to start the B.S. IT Security program January, 2012, and have just seen my degree plan for the first time yesterday. Eight classes are counted as transfers.... It has me mapped out over nine terms. I'm trying to finish in no more than three to four terms. If I were to do it in nine terms, you can do the math on the cost at around $3k per 6-month term.

As of today, no mentor has been assigned.

I am planning on studying for my A+ exam hard over the next couple of weeks, and asking for an exam voucher when I start in January. Which class requirement(s) does the A+ exam cover?

UPDATE 12/22/2011: The rest of this first post is now irrelevant, as the issue was fixed, and the courses have changed.

My four terms line up like so below. Any advice on what would be most efficient?:

Term 1:

WFV1 IT Fundamentals I
AGG1 Foundations of College Mathematics
CLC1 Reasoning and Problem Solving
LUT1 Language and Communication: Presentation
QBT1 Language and Communication: Research

Term2:

AXV1 IT Fundamentals II
CPV1 IT Fundamentals III
INT1 Integrated Natural Science Applications

Term 3:

DFV1 Web Development Fundamentals
CUV1 Web Technologies
BOV1 Web Programing
GAC1 Finite Mathematics

Term 4:

HHT1 Finite Mathematics Applications
DHV1 Windows OS Fundamentals
CSV1 Operating Systems
COV1 Fundamentals of Interconnecting Network Devices

Working my way through the technical writing assignment. I've finally gotten to the point where I'm not overthinking it. I'm just getting it done, and meeting the requirements the best I can, due to time constraints. Make no mistake though, it will be quality, and then on the the Capstone! I plan to submit my Tech Writing assignment tonight, or in the morning. My term ends Friday the 30th. It seems I work better under pressure...

I submitted my capstone yesterday evening, and am now awaiting good news.

Life achievement unlocked! My Capstone was kicked back EARLY Saturday morning. I woke up, and revised two sections (Actual and Potential Effects, and Conclusions), and resubmitted before Noon. I didn't hear back until this today that I passed. Luckily, when my capstone was submitted on the last day of my term, my mentor requested an extension just in case it was kicked back.

This has been an amazing journey of of not only learning, but self-discovery as well. I am looking forward to the future, and of the new things I'll have more time to dive into.

Congratulations! It feels good, I know.

Thank you. My graduation was finally processed this week, and my diploma is on the way.

Congrats! I am sure you feel pumped! Are you going to graduation? I went to the winter commencement in Florida and it felt unreal until I walked across the stage at graduation.

Thank you. I'm still waiting on details for the next commencement. Last I checked, for my state, it hadn't been updated.
