Spending the weekend working on WGU Classwork | B.S SWE | DIL as a mom and Student

This video is a weekend in my life as I work on classwork @ WGU towards my B.S in Software Engineering. I am currently working my way through the Web dev foundations class after taking a few weeks off for onboarding at work.
Im getting back into a nice pace and hope to complete this class very soon.

I’d love to hear from some fellow night-owls about your progress so far. How’s everything going? Any challenges, set-backs or fears? Also, are you considering attending WGU or going back to school as an adult or parent in general. I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
Being an adult working student is not easy, take time to rest and care for yourself and if you fall get back up and try again. We got this!

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 👍🏽

[@Sams-explorations]

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! ❤️

Also, programming requires lots of practice. So keep coding! ❤️

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 ?

[@Sams-explorations]

Hey and congrats on starting at WGU! I didn’t take any classes on Sophia but did transfer in my associates degree.

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?

[@Sams-explorations]

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.

@@Sams-explorations That's great to know, thank you and best of luck with your studies. 🎓

[@estebanjimenez-85]

I was undecided between attending WGU, Capella U or UMPI and at the end UMPI work best for me, UMPI has the YOURPACE program and it's similar to the Competency Based Program that WGU and Capella have... 🙂🙂🙂

I’m glad you found the school that works best for you. That’s what Inlove about competency based flexible programs like these. What are you majoring in?
