a little WGU MBA review....

[rebel100]

Could you please recommend certain things for those "poor" souls like myself, and others reading this thread who are about to embark on this journey? I mean mainly your list of "Do's" and "Don't s" knowing what you know now about WGU MBA.

I would say read the rubric's, they tell you what they want discussed for each task.

Join the Facebook page for every class, read through them paying attention to solutions to common problems...this is all well trod ground.

Watch the video's that most classes have on the MBA Community pages....this is the Course Mentor explaining the task prompt in detail, most are excellent.

Don't pay too much attention to the difficulties of other students. It's easy to throw up your own mental road blocks when we see others expressing trouble. I have found that the courses others found the most difficult weren't really all that hard once I got started. I have also found that the ability of my fellow students ranges from excellent to very poor...some are given to this sort of education and some are not...where others are in the program and in life is no way to gauge your own performance.

Use your resources, send an email to the course or student mentor if you don't understand something. They are being paid based on your success, use that resource.

If your in doubt about a task just submit what you have. You can't really fail any task, the grader will simply send it back with notes to guide your revision....a few times I have sent in what I thought was unfinished work only to receive glowing comments and a pass on the task...there is no penalty for doing this, so do it when you need to.

I'm really enjoying the newer "cohort" model some classes are now offering. This makes WGU more like a traditional school. You actually get lectures, interaction, and guidance specific to the tasks...good stuff take advantage when you can.
