Updates! Feb 19th through the 27th
I've passed my Student orientation, and I started my official first class on the 19th which is fundamentals of information security. About a day of studying later I passed the pre-assessment. I found out I have to wait for my official WGU camera to take the tests through Proctor U... The camera will hopefully arrive no later than the 1st.
From the 20th until now I've been studying Ethics in Technology. I don't particularly like this course, and I have slowed down my pace of learning because I can't take my final tests until the camera arrives. I passed the pre-assessment today and I want to take both finals as quickly as I can.
I've been using Anki to import flashcards from Quizlet for my class along with the traditional course material.

The other tool I am using is the Vivaldi browser. I love their built in screenshot and noting tool, I also use the Vivaldi browser to only have WGU/Career information stored in it. I have it synched across my devices and it's great for situational studying by only using that browser for school work.

My student mentor is awesome and has unlocked all pre-assessments. To unlock object-assessments I e-mail or call him and everything happens in a few minutes.
My goal is 20 credits a month, I'm thinking this is more than doable. The hardest part is waiting on this camera.
I'll keep all of you updated. I'm so happy to be working with WGU, these guys have their act together and make accelerating through class's a breeze.
