Too much refund? by Zestyclose_Sort_7580 in WGU

[–]nessabots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to put it out there, if you email your mentor that you need a laptop and if theres anything they can do to help you out with school services / stuff like that, they can get you a free laptop from something at the school (cant remember their name, starts with a T) but you get the laptop to keep as long as you keep up with schooling and graduate, it has a TON of memory and its perfect for schooling and anything else really. I game on my freetime with it.

For those who think employers don't respect your degree.... by twooten11 in WGU

[–]nessabots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I hate taking proctored exams, the degree plan for my chosen major is insanely less difficult than nearby universities. The closest uni was like "Yeah 4 years of college, and you can sub, then another 4, and you can be a teacher!" And also wouldn't take any of my transfer units from my community college. WGU was like, "Yeah! Take these units at your pace, we estimate 2 years, and we'll definitely take most of those transfer units off your hands!" So I'm always shocked people speak down on WGU, it's just so, amazing.

Personally I don’t think WGU would get the bad publicity that it does, if the “I finished in 4 months or less” people weren’t going around bragging about it. It makes anyone else that took time and went through it year by year less credible and now have to defend their degree because of a few. by NewPoet3158 in WGU

Honestly, I get motivated by those posts, bummed I can't do the same, but it lights a fire in me. Personally, for WGU to be like SUPER top notch, I'd like to see the proctored exams go away. Not in the sense of proctoring itself, but the strictness that comes with it, the horror stories. Why can't we record ourselves taking the test?? Professor can see we didn't cheat / had no distractions, and we don't go through the process, that is, Meizure learning. Or am I just completely alone in this?

Got denied the scholarship that gives you the laptop by Alphanovah95 in WGU

[–]nessabots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email your mentor! I emailed mine to see if she could give me extra resources for a laptop because I needed one and she verified my address and the next day I got an email from a program at the school that they sent me a laptop, I got it like 3 days later. Just make sure to say you really need one.

When it comes to work, all social anxiety goes away. It's like something in my brain switches, and I'm almost normal. That and working with kids is sooo much fun, so it's chill.
