Looking to finish up 53 CUs starting 1/1/2020, any tips for these courses?
Post Body

I've taken a look around the subreddit and read up on the courses that I've got left, but I figured I'd also ask you fine folks who have possibly more recently taken the courses. Since I was laid off at the end of October, WGU is now at a minimum my 9-5 seven days a week. I'll add my own little personal notes as well as I'm listing them in the order that I have them scheduled to take.

  • Data Management - Foundations – C175 - Basically just learning SQL, right? If so, I've got a decent familiarity with it. Killed it in four days.
  • Data Management - Applications – C170 - Same basic thing as C175?
  • Network and Security - Applications – C178 - OA is just Security , not super worried and have already started using outside materials to study for it.
  • Managing Web Security – C837- Summary sounds like it would be a combo of Network and Security . That about right? Yay worthless CIW cert.
  • Digital Forensics in Cybersecurity – C840 - This class actually sounds interesting and potentially challenging.
  • Information Systems Security – C845 - Have heard the test for this one is challenging.
  • Business of IT - Project Management – C176 - Is it as bad as the ITIL test? Heavens help me if so.
  • Legal Issues in Information Security – C841 - Seems like a common sense/straight forward class. Memorize laws/numbers and know about good and bad behaviors?
  • Managing Cloud Security – C838 - Have heard also difficult, due to OA
  • Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity – C844 - Sounds neat. Is it?
  • Managing Information Security – C843 - Six CUs, which makes me nervous.
  • Cyber Defense and Countermeasures – C842 - Seems like it's basically what to do when the fecal matter hits the rotary impeller. Definitely see this one being useful.
  • IT Capstone Written Project – C769 - Would be nice to actually find a sample capstone project so I know what to expect. I'm pretty good at writing papers/presenting ideas coherently, so should hopefully be a breeze?

Apologies for the long list, I just want to try and cover my bases ahead of time and any help with expectations for the class would be awesome.
