How do you keep track of your progress?

[Merlin]

For me, I have several spreadsheets...

I have one sheet that contains the courses for my degree plan. This includes the requirements for each section of my degree and a list of courses I'm considering to meet each requirement. Once I complete a course, I mark the requirement as complete. This also tracks the number of credits I've earned so far. On a second tab, I have a running list of the courses I plan to take. I mark the course I'm currently working on in green and delete it from the list when it's been completed. This tab also tracks the number of courses and credits I have remaining. I also have a list of alternate course options on the bottom of the sheet in case I decide I don't like a course or want to swap some things around.

I have a second sheet that tracks the courses and exams I've completed, the dates they were completed, the score I received, and whether I have submitted them for ACE evaluation or sent the transcript to my school yet. This is mostly to make sure I don't forget to do something.

I also have a third sheet that I use as my database of what courses (and exams) are available from each of the main alternative credit providers. I track a bunch of info for each course, but this also includes expected TESU evaluation info and ACE/NCCRS recommendation details. This gets updated constantly as new courses emerge or assessments get updated. This is mostly for my own purposes. For example, I used it a lot when creating my degree plan or when I'm considering alternatives, but I also use this when helping others navigate their course options.

I refer to the first and last sheet pretty much daily.

Like MNomadic, I tend to focus on one course and one provider at a time. As soon as I finish the final exam for one course I begin on the next.
