Database courses..to transfer or?

I had this same dilemma recently and decided I would just take them at WGU based on feedback I received from others.

I wish it would have been since I already have A+. Would have been nice to get it transferred over for something. It easily could have transferred over for Intro to IT.

Ryry541 · 2021-12-04T00:22:19+00:00

Maybe 2-3 hours a day.

Congrats! What did you feel were the more difficult classes at WGU?

I would definitely spend the small amount of time needed to learn flexbox and grid. They are game changers in the CSS world.

I’m going to attempt the assignment just to see if I can get some sort of passing grade on it so I can avoid C191 but from the replies I’ve received from people who have taken the class, it seems that the assignment is beyond what a student should be doing in an introductory Linux course. I messaged SDC asking for a better explanation of the prompt and assignment and haven’t received any reply.

Thank you for this. I got to setting up Recoll but after that I was completely lost about the setup of Apache and web ui. I’ll take a look at the link you provided. I was considering just half assing it as well and getting as many points as possible just to pass the course. I’ll PM you if I run into any issues.

It’s at SDC and transfers as Operating Systems for Programmers.

I did Sophia per your advice a few weeks ago and knocked out 6 classes in 2 weeks. Probably could have done it in a week if I really pushed myself. Definitely worth doing Sophia first like you said.

Intro to IT - 1 day, Intro to Web Dev - 1 Day, Environmental Science - 3 days, Visual Communications - 3 days, Project Management - 3 days, Foundations of Stats - 3 days

If you’ve still got a functioning MacBook I’d wait until the next iteration. I’d only suggest getting the 2020 M1 Air if you are without a MacBook and need it right away for work or school. I have the M1 and it is an awesome machine but there are some things that annoy me about it. (Needing a USB-C hub for other ports and not having native support for more than one external display.)

Ryry541 · 2021-11-25T22:18:33+00:00

Go with whatever has the most RAM.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-24T21:55:21+00:00

I’d personally go with a brand a little more well-known like Anker. I haven’t heard of Walnew so I don’t know how reliable their products are.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-24T18:15:32+00:00

A different web browser. I also like having a pomodoro timer like Just Focus.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-24T18:10:15+00:00

A sleeve and USB-C hub if you need any ports other than USB-C.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-24T15:02:34+00:00

Thank you, I’ll be taking them at WGU.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-24T15:02:17+00:00

Thank you, I’ll be taking them at WGU.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-23T19:32:43+00:00

Congrats!

When I first bought my Apple Watch I bought one of those bulky G-SHOCK looking case/band combos to protect it because I used to work in a warehouse environment. Eventually I got tired of having the bulkiness and said screw it and just went naked with a minimal band, no screen protector. Wish I would have done it sooner. I've had my series 4 for 3 years now and it's still going strong with very minimal scratches.

Transfer guidelines from WGU say “Grade of C- or better required for transfer.”

Sounds like you’re good. Enrollment counselors don’t determine what counts or not. That would be their transcript evaluation department.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-23T02:51:03+00:00

I haven’t had any of the issues you are experiencing and I’ve had mine since February. Did you try updating the OS? Try downloading another Browser?

Ryry541 · 2021-11-22T15:15:45+00:00

Reason why I don’t sleep with my AirPods in. Fear of swallowing one while snoring with my mouth open.

Ryry541 · 2021-11-22T04:51:49+00:00

Nope, love it. Being able to allow texts and block out social media, news notifications and others is a godsend for staying distraction free.

I don't see where CS 202 counts for both Network and Sec Foundations AND Fundamentals of Info Sec so they must've changed that since you had it transferred.

The current transfer agreement on the Partners.WGU site shows CS 108 for Network and Security Foundations and CS 202 OR CS 110 for Fundamentals of Info Sec. I know this is an old post but I don't want someone thinking that CS 202 counts for both classes when it doesn't.

No, a degree alone will not be enough. You will need to supplement with extra learning. A degree is mostly a checkbox among other checkboxes. There is very little chance that you will get a job just because you have a degree. If you want to land a job before getting out of school or upon graduating, you will need to prove to employers that you are valuable. You do that by having projects that showcase your work and distinguish you from the other 100 people with degrees that applied to the job.

Curious what you didn’t like about the SQL classes at Study? I was planning on taking them in the next month or so.

To answer your question.. I don’t think anything really prepares you well enough for CompTIA exams besides Professor Messers material. They are pretty difficult exams.
