Although I finished my scheduled classess early for this term, I anticipated knocking this class out fairly quickly. 5 tasks submitted to Taskstream seemed fairly easy. I actually spent almost a month on this class! I can not state enough "follow the rubric"!!!! I have never had so many tasks sent back for revision before. If I had slowed down and read each task throughly, I could have saved myself some worry.
I did learn some new things though, for instance how to build a scatter graph in Excel. I also had my graphing skills re-enforced with each graph I had to build. Reminder-be sure to label the X and Y axis and plot the points exactly as they appear in the graph.
I really appreciated working with the WGU math mentors, as I was struggling with task 4, which was proving a proof of an isoceles triangle. With their help I was finally able to sort it out.
I was never so relieved to see "evaluation passed" when I submitted my final attempt at task 4. I took a couple days off after that. That was the last of my math classess!
After a couple days off I pondered whether I wanted to pull in TSV1 (Security+). My mentor let me review the course, and since I had about 5 weeks before the end of my term, I decided to go for it.I studied for 2 weeks, since alot of the material built on the previous test I took TNV1 (Net+), most of it fell into place. I scheduled the exam and crammed the entire week before the exam. I scored an 822 out of 900, so I felt pretty good about that.
I had two weeks left and decided to rest until the new term Dec 1st.I will start my term with the CIW 1DO-635 (Java script) class. Then follow that up with 2 leadership/management courses and finish up wtih a humanities class. If all goes as planned, I will finish up early and pull another class in from my next term.
By the way, I had an excellent Thanksgiving with friends and family.
Wishing those reading these words all the best this holiday season.
