a little WGU MBA review....

[publius2k4]

Alright, back in the saddle...

Over the last 12-15 hours I have completed the course Social Responsibility, it's been submitted to taskstream so they can find a fault or two and send it back.

This one was actually fun, you pick a business and develop a social responsibility plan for it using the 3 P's People ~ Planet ~ Profit. You also detail how some regulatory requirements directly affect the business and how best to meet them. I chose my favorite redneck Bar BQ restaurant, the one with the peeling paint, sweet/surly waitresses, and tables right next to the smoke pit....plenty of room for "improvement" (though if it were mine I wouldn't change a thing)

This course is widely considered an "easy" one, my counselor recommended I tackle it after being away from it for the last several weeks...he was right. I may tackle the slightly more difficult Risk Management next before delving into the fearsome Finance Course (its an intricate doozy all about accounting...uggh)

Feels good to have actually accomplished something school related again!

The mentors are great at providing recommendations for which courses to try after a break. They get you to do the easier stuff first to build up momentum and confidence. Using my mentor's guidance, I completed around 40 CU's in my first term at WGU.
