Purdue University Global - BA Information Technology [Review & Advice]

[9yeire]

Here are some questions I have
Which Purdue courses do you think were the hardest and took the longest time to do?

Between Project Management and Principles of Information Systems Architecture which do you think was the hardest and took the longest time to do? (I was wondering which class to recommend doing Alt credit to test out of)

Though this may be hard to describe, I wonder at what point as you were acquiring ACE credits through Sophia and Study.com did you feel like this degree was possible and you were going to make it through the process? Also same for doing Purdue courses?  Was the 2nd term at Purdue easier due to the courseload or did it feel easier as your confidence was building through the track record of completing courses and earning A grades?

So most of the time I had 3-4 courses open and would be working on different modules while others were being graded, so the time kind of gets mixed up. I don't know about hard, but Human Computer Interaction was a lot of presentation assignments which meant I had to do more research and gather content so it was a bit time consuming. 

Principles of Information Systems Architecture was the longer one for me. Both topics and assignments weren't difficult to understand, but Systems Architecture had more multi-part assignments which took longer to complete.

I think the Sophia Algebra, Statistics, and Ethics courses I was bit worried about (heard they would be difficult). So as I got through those I'd say I gained confidence. I would say by the time I was working on the 200/300 level courses at Study.com I pretty much considered myself in university. This was part of my degree program at that point in my mind. The 1st term was a struggle. I tracked out how much time I would have to spend on each module in order to finish them before the start of term 2. I pushed myself to study long hours everyday, very little free time. I read some previous students had said that you have to complete all other courses before you can take the Capstone. I was worried I would have to do 3 terms. Going into term 2 I still had one full course and some modules of two other courses left to complete, but turns out I didn't have any issue doing the Capstone alongside this. So that was a relief. And the workload was much lighter for term 2. For sure after getting A's for about the first 2 weeks I felt comfortable with the assignments I was submitting. I had a good idea of how much research and content I needed to include and about how long assignments would take after reading through the instructions.
