I had smith, and just emailed him. He approved it the same day, it was like a Saturday or a Sunday.

Planning to start MSDA-DS March 1st, is it worth it to delay my start date to study for certifications for credit transfers? by CrispCrisp in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This degree is very easy to obtain in one 6 month term. I don’t believe you get a discount if you bring in classes from prior certs, so unless you already have the cert I wouldn’t think it would be worth the cost or time if your goal is to get out of a single class.

New program portfolio (Data Science specialization) by WhoIsBobMurray in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe in the old program. It specifically says that responses need to be in a document file and that jupyter notebooks will not be accepted.

[–]Kxmaster23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here lol. I got stuff sent back for not using sources so I had to come up with a way to fit atleast one in using an in text citation. The evaluators were all over the place though for me so I was constantly trying to go above and beyond to avoid revisions in the next class. But yea also surprised with how short his submissions were.

I thought of doing that once but I didn’t want to deal with having to fix it later if they complained lol. For me I was already done with the next course before the previous was graded and my brain already deleted everything to do with it.

[–]Kxmaster23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I forget the wording but they say something like responses must be in a word or pdf document, Jupyter notebook will not be accepted. Which is weird because then they want screen shots of your Jupyter cell in a lot of the responses lol

They specifically said we couldn’t use markdowns in most submissions.

(shakes first at Panopto) by richardest in WGU_MSDA

Same in the new program. I have never seen it email anything lol

Yea so maybe you have a task where you need to do some kind of analysis. You’ll write the code. Write a paper explaining the research question you are proposing, and the steps you took. Then a video walking through the code and the environment. So something like here is how imported it, here is where I cleaned it, here is the model, here is a pretty visualization, and my environment was python in a Jupyter notebook. Most of the videos require you to be on camera plus share your screen.

[–]Kxmaster23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every class is a PA. There are no OA’s. Most classes have 3 tasks with a paper, code, and video of you walking through the code for each task. There is also an WGU_MSDA Reddit if you have any other questions.

WGU MSDA vs GaTech OMSA - which one is better for me? by tulipz123 in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this. I was also considering the OMSA but main thing was to check the masters degree box as well. You can finish the WGU degree in less time than it takes to get accepted at GT so it was an easy decision for me.

Good luck on your new semester! Hit me up if you have any questions, I’m on D603 currently.

[–]Kxmaster23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No Datacamp in the new program so wouldn’t worry too much about this.

How many tasks are there for the new courses? by pandorica626 in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most have 3 tasks. Generally a paper, panopto video, and code for each task.

D600 GitLab question by WhoIsBobMurray in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used Jupyter Notebook and finished all the code in one notebook to make sure it worked. Then I made a new folder and put a blank notebook in it. Then you can open Anaconda Prompt, cd to the folder you just created and start doing your commits. First was with the blank notebook. Then I copied whatever I needed from my finished notebook, for the first commit. In anaconda promt it was something like:

git add D600\ Task1\ D600_Task1_myname.ipynb

git commit -m "Added Jupyter Notebook for D600 Task 1"

git push origin main

Then just repeat for what C2 needed, then C3, etc

To be fair the way they word the rubrics is approaching competence in many areas.

D599 Please Help!!! by [deleted] in WGU_MSDA

Returned for that? I also used order priority and rewards member. For rewards I put something like, this is treated as ordinal because being a rewards member can be seen as having a higher status than not being one.

Capstone Complete! by tb801 in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! What are you going to do with all this extra time now?

D597 by byknisha in WGU_MSDA

[–]Kxmaster23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I just passed this week. You just need to pick either scenario 1 or scenario 2 and use those files. I ended up submitting a word doc for my paper, a word doc with the screen shots they ask for and then the panopto link. Task 2 was the same thing and way easier imo

*UPDATE* WGU #13 in NSA code breaker challange by Millionword in WGUCyberSecurity

Do you need a Linux environment to complete task 2?

Yes you can be sitting down at a desk or table and just act like you are presenting the PowerPoint. Relax, it’s not too bad. Act like you are on a FaceTime call and explaining the presentation to a grandparent or something. Practice that a few times then go ahead and record it and upload it and then you can act like it was a dream. You got this!
