New Goal: BS IT-Security at WGU.

Quick Q, JSD, have you been through the C170 (Database Applications) course yet?

It's one of the ten or so I'll certainly have left to complete and I've heard some frightening things, so I was hoping for a trusted perspective.

I'm actually on c175, which despite its numbering is the precursor to c170. If this was my first intro to data management, I would be horrified. The course material is terrible and completely unengaging. Everything through uCertify has been bad, but usually they're for cert exams so it's easy to find better material. This course is an in house exam, so there's no real other options.

I'll be traveling until the first week of July, and my term ends at the end of July, so this will probably be my last course for my term, and I'll start c170 in August. I don't like spending so much time on a course, but traveling means I've barely looked at it. Oh well.

I took the principles of management pre-assessment and got "exemplary" in all categories, but my mentor told me to save the actual final for next term with some other finals I have lined up so we can knock out OTP in a couple weeks and have all the time in the world for CCENT/CCNA/CCNA Sec next term.
