New Goal: BS IT-Security at WGU.

[Nixi]

Knocked out my first WGU course tonight. I was ready to take the exam day one (on 2/1), but I guess you have to use the specific webcam they give you, not your own existing cam for some reason, and they didn't send that out until my start date (just got it yesterday).

But course #1 is in the books, 4 units down. Should be done with another course within about a week, but it's a certification course (albeit a useless cert) so I have to schedule it at an in-person, Pearson VUE center for proctoring. That'll probably add some time to it, but no biggie. Not trying to complete this all in one term, I can wait an extra day or so.

By the way, I love WGU so far. Very impressed with the student mentor/sraff and the process so far. Much better setup than the last competency based school I attended Hopefully that impression sticks.

Nice! Is the in-person proctoring just required if you want to do the certification or is it required for the course?
