Need Help with Degree Completion Strategy

High_Order1 Wrote:I too have been researching these very things.

I zip through training relevant to my field. I am also an accomplished writer, among other things. That said, I am having trouble with the Straighterline Comp. I course. It's moodle based, if you're familiar with that, but SL is a different form of distance learning than what I am used to. Also, you appear to have spent some time in college. I haven't, and so doing things the 'college way' is proving to be problematic for me.

I don't know how some of these people are zipping through the courses. I can do that with, say, WMD or emergency management, but I am really slogging through something that aught to be simple to me. I know werdz, dammit!

I say all that to say this: SL is a good option if you already understand how to survive in academia, or if you really want to learn things. I am betting the credit by exam stuff is pretty straightforward if you are ok with computer proctor based testing (some people have test anxiety issues - I don't).

As far as acceptance, these people on here have a pretty good handle on an otherwise volatile topic. I have checked by asking the granting institution, as well as the gaining institution with variable responses. Once you start locking in your path, finding what you lack will become easier, at least in my case that is proving to be the case.

Welcome to the site from another seeker!
I thought you already had Comp 1 completed? I might be mixing up my posters.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
