WGU MBA-HM first impressions and ongoing comments

[dposborne]

You can actually start your Capstone task 3 now and even finish it before your simulation portion is done. I finished my Task 3 a couple weeks ago and am waiting to finish up my final rounds of the simulation to knock out task 1 and 2. We may have to redo the simulation (it's a long story...)

If I may, i have some suggestions on task 3: you have to have at least 3 sources and make sure you put them in alphabetical order. They sent my task 3 back because of a calculation error I had on one of my financial charts I created and my sources weren't in alphabetical order per proper APA formatting. Once I fixed these it passed with all 4's.

I also have some suggestions for Leadership: pick out your 2 handbook sections now and complete them. Then when the cohort forms tell them you volunteer to do those 2 sections of the handbook because you already started working on them. That way you don't get stuck with 2 sections that you aren't too familiar with and risk getting work sent back. You can also do task 1 now if you like, its a simple task that requires you to answer some questions about your leadership style, strengths, etc...

Don't be afraid to cut and paste previous work for Leadership and your Capstone paper (as long as it's your work), this saved me a huge amount of time and effort.
