ORC1 passed, Term complete.

ORC1 was a breeze. Scored 81% and most of it was common sense. Took me about a half-hour to answer the 45 questions. This completes the classes in my current term. I still have 2 1/2 months left, so I will grab IWT1 (Literature, Arts and the Humanities) from my next term. IWT1 consists of  a term paper contrasting different art periods and a multi-media presentation on a story or poem from the selected choices. Got 4 pages written this morning at Starbucks, hope to finish  task1 within the next couple days. The second task appears to be a bit more involved, so we will see how that one proceeds.
Hard to believe  I only have 10 classes left including this one. I won't get too far ahead of myself, I have a couple tough ones coming up. One class at a time though.....................
Talk to you soon.

LET1 done, ORC1 scheduled.

LET1 is done! Four papers written about different management scenarios and styles. My first 3 submitted to Taskstream came back with no revisions. Task 4, (10 pages) came back with 2 minor revisions. Submitted it the same day and it came back 3 days later Passed!
While I was waiting on Taskstream to grade my paper, I decided to take the pre-assessment for ORC1 (Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior and Leadership). 43 questions took me about 45 minutes. I received a 76% with the cut score being 56%. I have scheduled it for this Wednesday. I will study up a little more on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, and theories on teams, groups and conflict management.
This is my last class for this term, I still have 2 1/2 months left in this term. I will grab IWT1 (Literature< Arts and the Humanities). from my next term and try to knock that out.If I can knock this one out fairly quick, I will  grab GTT1 (Introduction to Programming)  from my next term and give a go.
If all goes as planned, and I finish the above classes this term, I will only have 8 classes left to complete my Bachelor of Science Degree!
Talk to you soon.

IWC1 Passed, LET 1 in progress.

Took the IWC1 on Feb 1, scored a 69%. Felt good with this since I had only scored 66% on the intial pre-assessment. One of the things I like about WGU, is the ability to take the pre-assessment which mirros the actual assessment. Afterwards you receive a coaching report which tells you where your weaknesses are along with hyperlinkss to the chapters that can help you. This has really helped me accelerate my progress. Why study something you already know?
Rested over the weekend and jumped into LET1 Leadershop concepts and applications. This include 4 tasks each based on different leadership examples or scenarios. You are tasked with writing a paper 2-5 pages on your impression or suggestion of how to handle the issue at hand. The end task is a cumulative paperon yoru overall imporesson of employee evluations and management styles. Passed task 1, 2, and 3 on the first try. Just submitted 10 pages for task 4, keeping my fingers crossed this passses on the first try.
I only have 1 more course for this term (ORC1), Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior and Leadership. From what I understand this one is somewhat common sense and builds on the terms and ideas you learned in LET1. I plan on starting this one shortly if Task 4 passes on the first try. I will follow my same procedure; take the pre-assessment, work on my weak areas, (if needed), then schedule the assemssment.
I still have 3 more months in this term, so I will bring over my final Humanities class when I have completed LET1 and ORC1. After that I will delve into a Programming and Database class.
Hope all is well with everyone. Talk to you soon.
