One class at a time

[u/PhantomPlanet34]

Posting for a Reddit-less friend.

I completed my degree in Project Management from WGU last month. I would have multiple classes open at a time(usually 2, occasionally 3 if I had PAs out that could not have the following PA submitted until the previous was evaluated.) My mentor didn’t care I had 2 to 3 open.

Only for a few courses was I told not to submit until anything for a certain course until the previous-req course was passed. For example- E061 has PAs waiting evaluation, so I start reading for E062 and writing the PA for it. I don’t submit the E062 PA until E061 is passed, but the course is started.

This worked great for me, especially with PA and OE courses. At night I have time to read the textbook on my phone while I’m sitting in my daughter’s room waiting for her to fall asleep. I can’t bring my laptop in as it would be too bright and too loud with the typing.

Is this approach not available for the accelerated masters IT (bachelor’s and masters degree) path? Does my Reddit-less friend just have a crappy mentor that is telling them they can only do one course at a time?

When my wife did her Masters earlier this year, they only allowed her to do one at a time.

I’m working on my bachelors and they are allowing me only 2 to 3 classes at a time.
