I Think I'll Squeeze One In --- C175 PASSED!

Before finishing English Comp, I was feeling pretty confident.  I decided to take a look at my next class, C175 Data Management Foundations.  I activated the course, without pulling it into my term, and glanced through the material.  It sure seemed like a course I could complete in short order.

I pulled the course into my second term and I was right.  I spent about 4 days going through the course material, practice test, quizzes and flash cards.  I finished on 6/13.  It felt good to wipe a class out of the way so quickly.  Three cheers for competency based education!  I suspect this is the last course of my college career that will be so easy.

BS DMDA Progress After Second Term

Not to lose my momentum, I activated my next course C170 Data Management Applications - it's a basic vendor neutral SQL course.  I'm thinking this one will go fairly quick as well.  I won't pull it into my second term, I'll save it for a quick success at the beginning of next semester.

In other good news, I was awarded a scholarship at work.  Each year they give out 1 $1000 scholarship for an employee pursuing coursework in IT or business.  Yay me!!!

All in all, I'd say this was a successful semester and a successful end to my first full year with WGU.  2 terms down, 4 to go.  Now that the IT basics are out of the way, it's time for the fun to begin.  My third term will be mostly programming basics, fourth will be SQL heavy, and the last 2 will be all data analytics related.  It's getting exciting!
