Any advice to a new WGU student just starting software engineering 😩?? Your videos really help me especially when u help break down some of the classes 👍🏽
I’ve gone through one term so far, so based on that i’d say time management and discipline are the absolute most important. Making sure that you are truly setting aside that time to work on the course material. Also, any additional resources that are recommended should absolutely be reviewed. There were questions on the previous OAs that were covered in additional resources but not so much in the actual course material. I wish you the best! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey at WGU. I was laid off as a project manager in a tech company, I am self-taught and I'd like to get my BS in Computer Science to be a little more official for job hunting, so I think our situations are a bit similar! I'm on the fence about WGU because it seems so self-directed . Are the materials provided in the class enough? Do you have to spend a lot of time looking for udemy classes or linkedin learning to supplement the course materials?
Thanks for watching! Tech layoffs have been rampant and I too started at WGU a few months ago after a layoff last year. WGU is self directed and I am noticing as i’m going through the programming classes that those require third party resources in order to get a full view and understanding of the topics and content. There were things i saw on the OA that i don’t think were thoroughly covered in the lessons alone. So Linkedin learning courses have been great as an additional supplement. They do include these memberships free as part of tuition.

Also, programming requires lots of practice. So keep coding! ❤️
@@Sams-explorations thank u 😊
Love your vids! I will be starting at WGU later this year for the software engineering degree. Did you take classes at Sophia before starting wgu ?
Hey and congrats on starting at WGU! I didn’t take any classes on Sophia but did transfer in my associates degree.
