Good luck with the rest! BTW, for C202, I thought the practice exam was harder than the actual exam. I got about 10% higher on the real exam, which was really nice.

The reason why my mentor set it up that way was because of the things I was going through. My degree started 10/1/16, and I knew I was going to be laid off from my previous job 10/31. For those reasons, she thought it would be best to do C200 and C202 first, since they would be less time-consuming than MGT2. I'm really glad we went through it that way, because now I have plenty of time to work on MGT2 before my first term ends.

Only thing that sucks now is that the job site is almost 200 miles away from home, so I'm staying with a former student and her husband during the week, and going back home on the weekends. This weekend my agent is having an open house to try to sell our house, and my wife and I are meeting with the agent down here to try to find a new house. The MSISA program has turned into the MSCIA, but I haven't really looked into the differences. My former student that I'm staying with is finishing her CCNA so she can enter the program, since she doesn't have IT Security experience. I really enjoyed the MSISA program. I didn't know much of anything about IT Security prior, and although I'm definitely not an expert, I am more mindful of security practices. I can definitely keep you updated when I help my former student go through the program. I'll be moving relatively close to her, and we plan on having study sessions together. It works out well that my wife and I are really good friends with her and her husband.

If anyone has any questions, let me know On to C212 starting tomorrow!!!

The evaluation stated I provided an extensive and in depth communication plan.... translation... too much work/overkill LOL Then... it is on to the Capstone. I had a chat with my mentor, I can choose to tackle the course in 4,6, or 8 weeks. I need to take a minute to review the course work before I commit to a time. It would really be nice to finish the degree in 4 weeks, but I have a feeling I'll go for the 6 week option. Have fun with your courses... lots of quality info for sure. Frank

They kept pushing back because I didn't relate one section to another (laid everything out, just didn't have a "transitive" sentence) I've been stuck on Accounting and Econ for the past month. Just had a deluge of stuff at home and work that saps my energy at night. Good luck.Keep on trucking.

I felt that I had to alter my approach to how to study after reading through the material the first time and was definitely more deliberate the second time around. The exam can be tricky but I used the 90 minutes in order to go through the questions and found a couple of valuable mistakes that could have cost me on this exam. Glad that this course is finally over, I'm taking a break from studying until Monday to be with family and then Accounting & Marketing here I come!!!!!!!!!
Hatch1921 wrote: » Congrats! C211 =EVIL! LOL Accounting...there isn't a ton of math on the exam. I think I had maybe 6 questions? The key to this one is to know where you would apply the Accounting principals to the scenarios they provide. Make sure you have a whiteboard and a calculator. I ended up taking the exam without the whiteboard, it was a challenge to keep the math straight. A couple of the math problems use historical data and keeping track of the numbers...in your head... not fun. LOL Congrats again and good luck with Accounting. Hatch

The final had the majority of the formulas that you will need for the test, so you do not have to memorize them and are permitted to use a handheld calculator on the exam. The only formulas I did not see were the ones for CVA so make sure you are familiar with how that calculation is supposed to work because it is a two step process. I'm going to try and knock out two more classes before my term ends. Will keep you posted on how that goes.
