WGU BSIT transfer eval in. I need some advice?

causan

Hi all, I've been reading through these forums for the last couple of months and thanks to some of the recommendations here I have decided to start WGU this September. After deciding to switch from the Network Admin emphasis to the non-emphasis BSIT degree I have just received my transfer evaluation from my AS degree in Computer Science. Now, I have been studying for the Network+ exam the last couple of weeks and I am going to request to take that course right at the beginning of the term but Im not sure what other courses I should start studying for to try to get them out of the way. Here is the list of courses that I'm going to need to take:

BNC1 Organizational Behavior and Leadership
RIT1 Leadership Concepts and Applications
BOV1 Web Programming
PV1 Project Management
KET1 Introduction to Programming
KFT1 Object Oriented Design and Development
CUV1 Web Technologies
CRV1 Networks
CTV1 Security
CJV1 Database I
+ Technical Writing and Capstone courses

I would like to complete this in one to two terms if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And thank you all for sharing your experiences and giving great advice. These forums have really given me some inspiration to keep pursuing my career in IT.

You should take these courses together. I spaced each group out so that you can see what goes well together. However the groups are not in order. Only the courses within each group are listed in logical order.

BNC1 Organizational Behavior and Leadership
RIT1 Leadership Concepts and Applications
PV1 Project Management

CUV1 Web Technologies
BOV1 Web Programming
CJV1 Database I

CRV1 Networks
CTV1 Security

KET1 Introduction to Programming
KFT1 Object Oriented Design and Development

I can't really speak for the BOV1, CUV1, and CJV1 since I never took them, but it makes sense to me that you should take them together as closely as possible so you can knock them down with overlapping knowledges. For the CRV1 and CTV1, I transferred the credits in before I began my term, and I think those two courses should be the first two classes in your AAV if you have the study materials for it and can knock them out quickly. By the way, the Database course should be taken before KFT1. It will comes in handy when you link your program with SQL table.

^^ he has them right but id go ahead and pick at the java classes from the start they can be a real bear

I'm starting WGU in September as well and after my transfer evaluation have the same courses to take as causan (with the addition of MGC1). The enrollment counselor wasn't sure on the order I'd be taking them in but from what I'm seeing from the two previous replies, it looks like we decide the order in which we take them. Is this correct?

Yes, you determine the order in which you take classes along with the help of your student mentor. You don't have to set the order in stone or anything, but there are some classes that are worth taking together due to overlap/similarity of study materials

As far as demonfurbie's suggestion goes, I think it's spot on. I'm taking the management courses early and plan to go into Project+ next, but I've also loaded up KET1 so I can progress it over the first third of my term. I'm shooting for a single term so I don't want to end up trying to cram both Java courses in the last few months.

Thanks for the info.
