WGU transcript appeal

[rvm]

Trig is definitely NOT going to work for their Critical Thinking course.  It's more of a philosophy course than a math course.  It's also relatively easy, and can be completed in a few days.  I think the physical science is a typo, and I personally took the Astronomy DSST for the credit in that one.

The science lab is also VERY easy.  I had it done before I started (you have 2 weeks of access to course material and instructors after orientation) and submitted the paper on my first day.

They screwed up on one of my evals and said that the Institutes course would come in as critical thinking.  When I challenged it on another eval, they admitted the mistake.

Oh, and the MIS DSST WILL work for Business of IT.

Also, WGU will not take any IT related credits older than 5 years.

Thank you quionegene!  I thought I saw another post with info concerning the MIS (DSST exam) would work for one of WGU's IT-related courses.  Maybe that was your post.  Anyhow... all John's DSST exams are within the last year or two so he should be good there.

His spreadsheet course is way older than 5 years.  I see spreadsheets as more business than IT.  Of course, WGU may not see it that way.  Hopefully, if he can get a syllabus or course description from his college, WGU will take it for spreadsheets.  Even if it's an easy course, I think this is a mental thing.  No one wants to lose 2/3 of the courses you've worked so hard for.

It had not occurred to me that credit for World History credit as a science was simply a mistake.  I just wasn't thinking about it in those terms.  I think the eval was done over the holidays so perhaps the person who completed it was over-worked or a newbie.
