WGU BSIT starting 5-1-14

I am real excited just got my transcript evaluation back and I transferred in 91 credits. I want to thank the guys who gave me the heads up on the deadline to transfer in classes if it wasn't for that information I would've started by June.

I transferred in AAS in computer studies, few straighterline courses, CLEP Analyzing Literature, CCNA, CCDA, CIW Javascript, CIW Database, CIW Site designer, MCP Win XP, and A+. Just need 31 more credits to go which consists of these classes:

RIT1 Leadership concepts
TPV1 Project Management
BNC1 Organizational behavior and leadership
TYC1 intro to object oriented
TYP1 project intro to object oriented
TXC1 Intro to programming
TXP1 Project in intro to programming
Principles of management
Tech writing
Capstone

I'm going to push for completion in 1 term. Do you guys think thats feasible with the current classes I have left?

I used the same paper, but went back through and changed tenses from future to past. I also added about three or four pages worth of new material to satisfy the new requirements. Passed first try.

Tech writing took about eight hours start to finish, and capstone took maybe three hours, definitely much faster/easier.

Yea cool thanks, took me about 7 total hrs for the tech writing. The competency matrix was kicking my ass I thought I had to list the classes Prob n Statistics, Proj managment, etc in the table until they clearly said you have 2 of this 0 of this, etc. A quick copy and paste and it passed.

Update* 7/1/14
Capstone complete! Capstone finally graded its been in the queue for the last day. I'm pretty sure they take extra long for the capstone to make you sweat. Wish this was the end of my journey but still have 2 more classes left until completion Linux 101 and Linux 102.

@dmarcisco How difficult was the Linux exam?

It wasn't to bad I used cbt nuggets video series and the testout practice exams from WGU. I practiced it in a ubuntu environment. I was a bit worried about this exam but I got a 770 out of 800 which surprised me! It was a lot of multiple choice and if you played with linux in the terminal window you should be able to spot which choices are just flat out wrong.

Update 9/13
Linux lx0-102 passed today!!

I'm all done!!! Finishing my degree has been a 10 year journey. I'm grateful for this website and everyone who recommended WGU. I wouldn't have ever found out about WGU. I'm now a college graduate!! Thanks to all of the folks who helped me out.

Thanks guys,

@ratbuddy I considered going into the MS especially at WGU since I liked the program but I want to move on from my current place and to do that I need to sharpen my skills. Finishing school has been the only thing that had been holding me back from dedicating 110% of my time on digging deeper into the knowledge needed for the certifications I want to do. The game plan is to work on my CCNP voice and CCNP rs in tandem and knock out a good chunk in 6 months time. Planning on living in the debugs and packet captures for some time and I can't wait.
