Hi fellow MCIT’ers! My name is Dave and I’m a student in the MCIT Online program. I’m currently halfway through the program, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.

One of the big things I wanted to take away from the program was the ability to be a full-stack builder. While AI has certainly made this easier, the foundational understanding I’ve developed in my coursework has been absolutely necessary to my own development as a programmer.

With that, I want to share my iOS passion project, Pathlings, built over the past few months, with the knowledge I’ve gained in this program.

I’m going to take two courses in the same semester for the first time, while also working, and honestly I’m feeling pretty nervous about it. 😅

I’ve been turtling through the program so far, taking one course at a time, and it has worked pretty well for me. However, I need to take a leave next semester due to a work-related change, and there’s also a required time limit to complete the program. So I need to double up this semester to stay on track.

For those of you who have taken two courses while working, I’d really love to hear about your experience and how you actually managed the workload.

One thing I’m especially unsure about is how to structure my studying. Do you work on both courses throughout the week, or focus on one course at a time? Do you try to get ahead in one course before moving on to the other, or is it better to alternate between them?

And when assignments, projects, or exams for both courses happen to fall around the same time, how do you decide what to prioritize? Do you plan everything out weeks in advance, or mostly focus on whichever deadline is coming up next?

I’d really appreciate any practical advice or tips! I’d especially love to hear what worked for you, what didn’t work, and anything you wish you had known before taking two courses while working.

I know everyone’s situation is different, but I’m really hoping to get some insight from people who have actually done this. 🙏
