Dec – Jan College Update

Guess it is time for my semi-monthly college update. What a busy two weeks it has been. On December 23, 2014, I had 15 courses left to complete my degree. I was informed that my degree program was being adjusted. They combined my two Communications courses into a single class…


November College Update

Finally, after months of getting sidetracked, I finished the Web Design course. Yes, I know I missed a couple of questions. I Probably overthought the answers. Anyway, on to the JavaScript course. Hoping to have it done by the end of the year.


Certifications Earned College Credits

This post was originally on Microsoft’s Born to Learn website on July 16, 2014. You may have seen these advertisements: “Current IT Certifications could waive up to 25% of the credits toward your college degree.” I had ignored the ads in the past but thought it might be time to…


July College Update

What a busy month. I achieved a perfect score on my Web Development Project. However, I will probably change it in the future to hold SQL Code Examples. I also passed my Web Fundamentals exam with a 77%. Not my best score, I will need to brush up on my CSS3. However, this means I…


June College Update

It’s been about a month since my last college update. Obviously, I took some time away to attend TechEd in Houston and then another week to recover from TechEd. But Sunday I passed my Math Fundamentals course with an 81%. The only required classes left for this term are the…


May College Update

Just thought I would update my college progress. Just passed my Critical Thinking final with an 87%. Which would have taken me down to only 20 courses left to finish. However, they decided to redesign the degree program and removed the two Cisco courses. So it seems I am only…


CIW Fundamentals Score

Can’t believe I missed a question. But still passed the IT Fundamentals class and picked up a CIW certification along the way. Think I will take on Math Fundamentals and/or the Critical Thinking class next. Probably will save all my Web Programming courses for the end of the term.


First day of College

First Official day of college. I think I am off to a good start. This is what I’ve completed so far. IT Fundamentals Level 1 – 66% Foundations of College Math – (Couldn’t start until today.) Reasoning and Problem Solving – 36% Project in Web Development Fundamentals – 38% Web…


Finished first class

One week into the program and I’ve finished the first class. Just waiting on the voucher so I can take the final.  Still seems kind of silly that after 20 years in the IT field  that I still had to take IT Fundamentals Level 1. But on the bright side, I was able to…


WGU Orientation

Just finished 12 hours of orientation. That was really boring. Now just have to wait for my student mentor to be assigned and for them to clear my courses.
