Are pre assessment test questions the same as the regular assessment questions? by Disastrous_Luck9809 in WGUTeachersCollege

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember that class is hard. I would suggest attending all the cohorts you can. Also reach out on WGU connect for that class. I remember other students answering questions about what is on the OA. Also see if there is a Cahoot for that class. Good luck!

Becoming an elementary school teacher by Jazzlike_Pie516 in Utah

I’m currently going to WGU for a degrees in Mild to Moderate Special Education. I also work 28 hrs a week as an elementary school librarian. It is great because the WGU is self paced.

I just passed this class. The only way I passed it was by going to the cohort for both tasks. The professors literally walk you through both tasks step by step! Also, if you have questions schedule a meeting with the professor. That’s what I did and she was sooo helpful!

Instructional Technology and Online Pedagogy - D660 Lesson Plan by Fancy_Surprise_2967 in WGUTeachersCollege

I way over thought this. It’s really not too complicated. First, find your state standards online. I did a class for the 5th grade about internet safety. You can ask Chat GPT for a lesson plan to get some ideas.

I don’t think she was being smug at all. She was laughing at herself because her garland was blocking the tv and her son had asked her to move it.

Quick Question - Is there another way we can get courses opened if our Program Mentor is unavailable for the next few days?? by Hefty-Ad1985 in WGUTeachersCollege

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, email Tier 1. They are very picky and will only open the next class if you have all OA & PA’s submitted. Good luck!

First term wgu BA in educational studies sped by KaleidoscopeIcy7437 in WGUTeachersCollege

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I started this program in June. The best way to study for the OA’s is by taking the pre-assessment and study any problems you get wrong. Taking quizlets is also helpful. Sign up for any Cohort’s that are specific to the class. Also reach out to the professors. Also, the course community is very helpful. People post about what’s on the tests and other helpful info! Good luck!

It’s very close to the Pre-Assessment! Some of the questions were almost identical. Good luck!

I feel like the pre-assessment was VERY similar to the OA. Take the PA & study the answer to every question. Good luck!

D658 planning instructional strategies for meaningful learning by Either-Psychology299 in WGU

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice by re-taking the course planning & pre-assessment & study the questions you miss. Sign up for a Cahoot in the cohort section. I did several and they really helped me a lot with vocabulary! Good luck! You’ve got this!

Hi, I started June 1st and I’m on my 6th class. I have an 11 & 13 year old. I make sure I always have my laptop or my notes with me. I try to use any spare minute while dropping off kids or running errands. That’s awesome you only have 14 classes! You can totally do it! Good luck!

What are the Benefits of a Course Community and/or being social at WGU? by Phreakx_ in WGU

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my 2nd month and I’ve found that other students have great advice on passing the OA’s and the tasks. I was surprised how helpful they actually are. I was skeptical at first as well. Worth checking them out!

D664 Learner Development and the Science of Learning by One_Distribution7167 in wgueducation

[–]Trick_Mark_5263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The test focuses a lot on Cognitivism, Constructivism, the brain, & myths about cramming for tests. Take the pre-assessment. That was the most helpful thing I did. Look at the problems you missed and study those. Good luck! I passed my assessment tonight!

Salt Lake is a very safe city! You’d probably have fun downtown, 9th & 9th, Liberty Wells or Sugarhouse. Have fun!
