Mathematics Teaching Degree WGU -in progress!

[teacher2]

Finished Finite Mathematics today! Overall easy course that is defiantly passable in less than a week. I probably could have finished it in two days but have had a busy week. Basically I wrote the tasks in an outline format like you would a lesson plan. I would rate the math as very basic and early algebra. So no need to fear this one! I am going to start College Geometry tomorrow. It is also performance assessment. This is what it looks like:

Geometry Foundations
Axiomatic Systems, Performance Task 1
Properties of Geometric Shapes
Lines and Angles
Non-Euclidean Geometry
The Circle
Triangles
Congruence and Similarity
Proofs
Performance Task 2
Quadrilaterals and Higher Order Polygons
Three Dimensional Shapes
Analytic Geometry, Performance Task 3
Transformational Geometry
Geometric Transformations
Geometer's Sketchpad Transformations
Performance Task 4
Performance Task 5

Finished College Geometry today. Umm there was some quirks in Task 1 and 2 unexpectedly. I started this course a week and half ago. Overall I'd say I would have rather transferred this course in because the performance tasks are not quite typical geometry as far as writing the proofs and everything. But it's done!

Also finished Critical Thinking and Logic last Sunday and had my first experience with ProcturU with WGU. The proctur left something on because I could hear him setting other people up for their tests. I eventually had to press the mute button so I could concentrate. But that course was too easy. I did the modules but did not read past the fourth chapter in the recommended book because the modules where pretty complete. This is a switch form what I did with SL where I read the book and did not do their module slides.
The Final is set up very close to the way the Pre-Assesment is and I scored within several points of each other on both tests. This course I would not personally transfer in because it is very easy common sense class and can be finished up within two days. My next class, Cultural Studies and Diversity looks like this:


Diversity and Culture Today
Read, Watch, Explore, Complete
Empathy, Multiple Perspectives, and Worldviews
Personal and Social Barriers to the Appreciation of Diversity
Development of Personal Identity
Culturally Supportive Practices for Various Settings
Performance Task 1- Culture and Diversity and Personal Identity
Effective Communication Practices in a Global Environment
Diversity in Collaborative Environments
Performance Task 2-Diversity and the Educator 2-5 pages long essay

It looks like it has alot of reading and writing but I must admit I wish I had transferred this one in!
