ajs1976 TESC BSBA accountability thread
#1
I'm going to borrow the accountability thread concept from what I have read on the wgustudent site. Maybe they are on other sites, but that is where I was first exposed to the idea. Due to the similar self-motivating nature of the Big3 and WGU, I think it will be a good tool and i'm looking to avoid repeating what happened with my time at COSC. I plan to update this on the last day of the month until I am finished with the program and have my degree.

Now that my transcript evaluational are complete, I have worked out my degree plan, and I am left with 12 requirements:

2 general education: English Comp I / TECEP and Marriage and Family (P&SR) / TECEP
3 business: Macroeconomics / CLEP, Managerial Accounting / SL, and Strategic Management / TECEP
3 CIS electives: MIS / DSST, Networking / TECEP, and Cyber Security / DSST
4 Extra TECEPs for residency - Computer Concepts and Applications, Liberal Arts Math, Nutrition, Intro to PR

I would like to finish all of the requirements by the end of next May. Averaging about 1 per month with some taking more then a month like Strategic Management and possibly Managerial Accounting and doubling up on others. Work issues, family commitments, and finances will all slow me down and I would like to fit in at least 2 IT certification exams in that same period, but that schedule should be doable for me.

I'm at the end of my first month and I was able to complete both the Computer Concepts and Applications TECEP and the MIS DSST. The Computer Concepts TECEP was very easy for me. I have worked in IT for 15 years and already have an AS. I took that TECEP to apply towards the residency requirement and figured it would be an easy first exam to use to familiarize myself with the whole TECEP process. I was reviewing the MIS DSST IC flashcards prior to taking the TECEP and it did help but I did not do any dedicated study for this exam. The COSC IS capstone class used an MIS book for the discussions and quizzes so that class amounted to a really expensive MIS DSST prep course for me. I went through the IC flash cards twice and they helped too.

In June, I'm hoping to complete the Networking TECEP and the Cyber Security DSST but with family vacation and a disaster recovery test at work, the Cyber Security DSST may get bumped to July.

This forum has been a great resource for me and I would like to thank everyone for your help through this journey.
Andy
