MNOMADIC WGU BSIT Thread

DAYS 9-13

I really could have done the information systems management course during this time but I was under the weather after getting a vaccine and I let myself get psyched out by some staff and student reviews claiming this class was super hard and not aligned with the Pre-assessment that I'd already passed on the first try. It was recommended that I go through the quizzes and unit tests in the material which I did poorly on. However, the quizzes/tests in the material were very low quality, often times being factually wrong or intentionally tricky. I found multiple questions worded like: "True or False, the chicken came before the egg?" 

DAY 14

Anyway I went ahead and took it and passed just fine. Every single topic in this course was touched on by my other IT, Networking, Security, Ethics, Database, Management/PM and other courses, so having the experience made it easy. Honestly, this course is meant to be a survey course for the business school yet they added it in as a filler course for my IT degree which is somewhat disappointing. I would have preferred that they added a more advanced programming course or something of the like. With all that said, I feel bad for the business majors or anyone else who takes this course without preexisting knowledge since the subjects they cover is VAST and somewhat technical yet the material is just not good. 

DAY 15

This is where I slow down because I just started another program with SANS/GIAC to get some cyber security certifications. I know the timing is bad but it's a highly competitive program paid for by a scholarship worth more than my entire degree at WGU. I actually didn't know I was admitted until a few days before I started at WGU and it was too late to delay anything anyway. Haha wish me luck because I'm about to hate my life for the next 6 months of accelerating through 2 programs.
