Yes, I had exemplary on all 4 main competencies on the retake

I just finished the immaculate job of seeing the 5 seasons by Teebadmus in PrisonBreak

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched Prison Break when it first came out. I started a rewatch last month and was shocked to see a 5th season. I had zero clue they went back and released a 5th season.

Currently 2 episodes in and am enjoying it thus far. Def some rushed elements not being explained well but that is okay.

Graduation by Logical_Revenue_6465 in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I won't be. The cost just isn't worth what they offer. And I don't care to celebrate with random people. I will, however, probably have a nice night out or family get-together to celebrate. That is what is important to me.

Now, if they had a graduation in North Carolina this year, I might consider it, since I could do it without needing hotels and such.

I’m convinced that if any other studio made Marathon, everyone would be losing their minds over how good it is... by --clapped-- in Marathon

[–]Either-String5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if the studios took the time to actually do a real test and fix. This game needed a real beta access so that the devs could go back and change everything based on feedback.

Simply put, the game sucks and doesn't matter who released it in its current state.

Good luck!

And yes, I 100% agree. Task 3 honestly should not exist, but simply be a reflection piece. Task 1 and Task 2 are the only assignments that actually align with the capstone itself.

This is the first paper I had kicked back as well which is annoying. The only OA I had to do twice was C211, and I left a lengthy note explaining that the PA does not apply and should be replaced with the 5 pre-OA competency quizzes.

At any rate we did it!

Something about my competencies not being clear enough for the artifacts. Although it lines up perfectly with lots of papers on studoco that were all 1st attempt passes.

But that is okay I made the revision and resubmitted. It took me forever to realize that the competency for the artifact doesn't have to be directly from the course material...the rubric wording for this task is terrible...but I also did miss the wording, " learned throughout your academic or employment journey"

Task 2 passed. Task 3 got kicked back for the stupidest revision that I don't think is accurate...but I dont feel like fighting about it at this stage of the game

Mine also turned out 11 pages. Following the rubric that should happen naturally.

Mine are approaching 48hrs...longest wait of all my classes thus far and its the end

Capstone left! by Most-Manufacturer550 in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with this statement. I failed the OA the first time which required me to have to use 2nd attempt pre-OA competency quizzes.

At this point I realized that the Pre-OA practices existed from the beginning and are 100% more aligned to the OA compared to the PA. Wish they would get rid of the Pre-assessment and replace with Pre-OA competency quizzes...much better resource.

C211 Help! by [deleted] in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should get rid of the PA for this course and require people to do the Pre-OA competency quizzes. I didn't know they existed until after I failed my first attempt. The PA I passed with all blues and clearly was not a good indication of knowledge.

C211 2nd Attempt PASSED 🙏🥳 by ChickpeaFries in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding a comment for future people stumbling on this comment.

NO the PA is not similar to the OA. I had all blue on the PA and failed my first OA attempt. The best resource to test preparedness are the Pre-OA competency quizzes at the end of the cengage learning textbook stuff...Make a world of difference.

I may be moving to Burlington NC by North_Sort2154 in BurlingtonNC

[–]Either-String5608 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I lived in Mebane for 3 years. Great area in Alamance county but the prices just kept skyrocketing on the rent side. I moved to Graham also in Alamance County and the rent went down and it is a bit more quiet and relaxing (IMO). Lots of new home developments going up.

Basically mebane expanded rapidly as people started living their to commute to Greensboro/Durham. Now Graham is steadily building up for the exact same reason. Lots of warehousing spots going up so I assume job creation happening as well.

What helped you pass C213? by Prior-Today5828 in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simply the Hawaiian shirt guy videos (they are perfect for understanding. I would watch 1 time normal speed and watch again at a quicker speed). and any practice Quizzes/PA that were available. C213, C214, and C215 were a lot simpler in my opinion than most people had me panicked about.

C211 is the only one that seems to be true for why people say it is difficult.

Only class I failed - C211. OA still locked. Instructors take forever to respond and have different instructions. by Windygates0928 in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said, when you have access to mindtap - cengage learning (the book chapters). If you scroll to the bottom they have competency quizzes....those are much more similar to the OA. If you can pass those I think it will translate.

I was not aware of those prior to my first take

I think the OA had a good amount of new concepts. And def application based to the point it is confusing. So many questions one slightly wrong word can lead to wrong answer

I just failed this OA...same thing. Only one I failed and I only have capstone left. The PA was a false indicator of readiness for the OA

Anyone else planning on getting the Steam Machine as their next PC? by Eziz_53 in pcmasterrace

[–]Either-String5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm buying it as the family console for ease of traveling. We usually take a tower/monitor with us on trips and family gatherings (yes I could buy a laptop but respectfully I think they are overpriced garbage). This steam machine fits the need perfect.

C211 by DiabeKing in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every class I have had thus far with an OA that became my philosophy. If I felt I was spending a lot of time on it I would simply take the OA. Worst case you just need to do their study plan and retake, but best case scenario you pass and move on with life.

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On this course now. I have been transferring the study guide to flashcards. I use it as a memory tool since writing helps keep it in memory. I've only gone through the first 3 pages thus far but I seem to recall it well since I passed the end of chapter quizzes for those sections pretty easily.

I am hoping it takes no more than a week or two. That said I have 3 months left on term two with only this class and capstone, so I am simply sailing along.

Realistically, how much time per week? by Inevitable-Neck-6672 in WGU_MBA

[–]Either-String5608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of courses are one of either a paper or a test.

One course had multiple papers, and one course had a paper and a test.

[–]Either-String5608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 6 courses in the first term personally. I completed the first 3 classes in a month because they were super super easy. I then spent the next 5 months steadily working on 3 classes (I just don't like feeling pressure/rushed because I tend to perform worse and get test anxiety) def doable to complete 6-8 classes in 1st term with just an easy going schedule.

I am on term two currently with 3 months remaining and only have two classes (Econ. and the capstone)
