WGU: IT Security - Semester Advice

MSP-IT

I've reached out to my mentor, but haven't heard a response. From what I've seen, quite a few individuals here have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to the courses offered and what should be taken when. Given the list below, what would be a recommended path for finishing up my degree this year?

Any recommendations would be great!

Courses Left:
Web Technologies (CUV1)
Web Programming (BOV1)
Introduction to Object-Oriented Design and Development (TYC1)
Project in Introduction to Object-Oriented Design and Development (TYP1)
Introduction to Programming (TXC1)
Project in Introduction to Programming (TXP1)
Software Development Fundamentals (DJV1)
Quantitative Literacy: Quantitative Problem Solving and Applications (QLT1)
Finite Mathematics (GAC1)
Finite Mathematics and Applications (HHT1)
Language and Communication: Research (QBT1)
Technical Writing (SBT1)
IT - Security Capstone Written Project (RGT1)

I'm at around the same place myself, I'm working on Linux+ right now, I've got all your blue and gold classes left plus tech writing and the capstone. Been trying to figure out a good plan of attack for the programming classes too so hopefully someone has good input on it.

Its funny how much I wished my mentor would have guided my class choices better, some really are better to take before others. You should take the math classes before the programming ones for sure, they are easy and might actually help you a little with the programming. Really, I would just do all of these:
Quantitative Literacy: Quantitative Problem Solving and Applications (QLT1)
Finite Mathematics (GAC1)
Finite Mathematics and Applications (HHT1)
Language and Communication: Research (QBT1)

Then tackle all of the programming classes next. You could easily knock these out and accelerate into the programming classes. I have not done those two web ones yet, I've been putting them off to the end...lol

Definitely do the programming stuff all together. TXC/TYX/TXP/TYP have a lot of overlap. Ignore DJV1, it gets bypassed if you finish the TX/TY stuff, unless you actually want the MTA cert. Finite math should be a piece of cake, and CUV1 is very basic as well. Dunno about BOV1, didn't do that one yet. I second Joe's suggestions.
