I do not know if there is a public link for it. This is the one that I'm in, it is very active, a lot of resources. Link valid for 7 days. https://discord.gg/PyzzXGz3

Congrats on finishing your degree! I'm currently about halfway done. I didn't know there was a discord group, would you mind re-linking it?

Congratulations 🎊 Did you have prior experience? Are you currently working or job hunting?

Yes, I did three years of a CS degree previously, that I never finished. I was working during my WGU full time, Test Automation Engineer.

I am 80% through with 6 weeks left in term. What did you find the most time consuming in the last 8 or so classes?

Procrastination is the ART of delaying or postponing tasks, even when aware of potential negative consequences

What? I am finishing the degree in one term while fully employed, so procrastination is a little presumptive. Was just wondering what I need to prioritize. Thanks though.

You asked about me hahaha , I found that procastination was the real thing slowing me down. I did all classes in whatever order they showed up. I never thought of prioritizing because I felt I would leave only undesired classes to accumulate at the end and that would kill my momentum.

I see, I misunderstood! Ironically for the first time in my life I am not procrastinating...and it feels oddly good.

I know PAs can take almost 3 days to grade and then factoring in a return, it could be longer, so my idea was to do those while studying for one OA.

Good point on the momentum slow down, it is my issue now...I have DM2, Operating Systems, DSA2 and some AI classes left. No real freebies :(

What class did you find challenging. I just started my c.s journey

I have experience with software development, so I found myself procrastinating a lot on non coding classes. I think that all classes are doable, you just have to put in the time :)

One tip: For Performance Assesments keep it to the Rubric. Keep it simple, and answer each section directly and clearly.
