Documenting My Son's WGU Experience

[teacher2]

He may need to. He hasn't even gotten to his start date yet and he's already frustrated. He asked about getting Office and was told he had to wait until June 1. He had really wanted to start working on Spreadsheets but his new pc doesn't have Office. A week later I do some googling and discover the information he needed to get him access to Office immediately. He's also wanting to take 2 exams ASAP, so he was asking if there will be a tracking number/ship notification for his webcam (so he knows what to expect and can begin planning his exam schedule) and the guy just replies "You'll get it the 14th of the month or later." I paid his tuition in full May 5th or so in the hopes of his getting the webcam closer to the start date, but apparently that isn't happening. The mentor could explain things a bit better, for sure.

Sorry this is so. I paid my tuition early as well but could not take my exams either. They do supply you with a webcam but it took 12 days for mine to come in. Does your son have any performance assessment classes? He can knock those out while he waits for his webcam. I know for me it was frustrating as I was used to the study and take final mentality! Also, as far as the mentor mine was initially rather gruff around the edges but after passing a course a week for the last three weeks she has come around. Learning to work with people like this is part of life! LoL I was a little unhappy about the whole student mentor thing as well 'cause I'd rather be my own mentor and if I need help I'll ask the folks on the forum!
