Documenting My Son's WGU Experience
#51
I just realized I haven't checked in here for a while. I wanted to report that with 10 weeks left in his term, my son just completed all his degree requirements! Spreadsheets was a huge thorn in his side and he failed that assessment on the first try, mostly due to anxiety about it combined with a technical issue during the exam. He aced it on the second try and says he wishes he'd done what some other students recommended and done the assessment first, then used that to learn what he needed to.

The Capstone and Portfolio took about a week - so for those of you concerned it takes a month or more to do the capstone, it really isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
