Congrats! You deserve it JSD! One of the smartest people on this board.

Haha, not so sure about that, but thank you!

JSD,

How would you compare the bachelors program at WGU to the classes you've taken so far at GA Tech?

I kind of touched on this previously, but the biggest difference is just the difference of undergrad vs graduate level work.

The GT program is much more traditional and scheduled, but I'm still relying on a ton of self-study (though a lot of that is due to my lack of a CS background, and probably not so much an intended aspect of the program). The learning curve is a lot more steep, but I expected it to be. 

It's nice to have a large group of students all working on the same thing at the same time that you can bounce ideas off of and commiserate with, something you kind of forget exists when you're going the CBE/alt-credit route.

The term is way too long though. I'm much less motivated now than I was weeks ago, mostly because of how much everything has dragged on. The 16 week term needs to be trimmed down by like a month (and luckily the summer term just about is, so that will be nice).
