Free IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity (12 cr) and Data Analytics (8 cr) Via UoPeople

[Kalas]

The weird thing is that I didn't just get the email from UoPeople. I got the Credly badge for completing the whole thing directly from Credly before doing the final capstone too. Maybe it was because my grades were high enough for it not to mathematically matter? I had 100% going into the final exam (10% of final grade) and got a little more than 90% the first time I took the exam. Even if I got a zero on both parts of the final capstone I would still beat 80% overall, which is what you need to pass the course. Not sure if your final grade is saved somewhere or would impact transferring it somewhere via ACE. If it is I haven't seen anything yet.

On Friday I got an email saying I would get some kind of participation trophy from UoPeople "in about 24 hours" which hasn't arrived yet. Even though that was a few days ago it was less than a full business day, so maybe tomorrow or Tuesday.

I tried to enroll in the Cybersecurity course after completing the Data Analytics track and get a 403 forbidden error when I login on the application page. Is there a certain amount of time you have to wait after completing one program before applying for another at UoPeople? Maybe it will be unforbidden when I get the participation trophy PDF from UoPeople.
