In this video I will be sharing my journey so far at Western Governors University. The degree I am pursuing is the B.A. Elementary Education degree through the WGU teachers college. I have been able to complete 5 courses in just 5 weeks and am here to give you some tips and tricks so that you can do the same!
Western Governors University is composed of completely online courses. These are all competency based which means that as long as you know the material and can pass your assessments, you can accelerate and finish classes as fast as you want.
I hope you enjoy and wish you the best of luck as you pursue your degree!

You're going to be a great teacher! Thanks, and I really like your vision board idea!

@malekagardner1577 2 года назад

Great video! I am currently at GSU and was considering transferring to WGU for more flexibility. I work full-time job and have a 6 year old daughter so accelerating my degree would be ideal. Your tips are very helpful, look forward to seeing more! You're going to make an AMAZING teacher btw 😊

Thanks for the video! I am currently considering transferring to WGU for my BA in Elementary Education and this video was extremely helpful in letting me know what to expect!

@xsocalxryan 2 года назад

Very informative video. I'm currently working on getting transfer credits using third party online providers like Sophia, Study, and Straighterline before I start at WGU for the BS Comp Sci. It took me 2 months to knock out Calculus for the degree pre-req so I'm very glad that is over. I didn't know about the Facebook groups so I'll have to check those out. Good luck on your journey, fellow Night Owl.

This is awesome! I start October 1st for the the teachers college as well for elementary education! Question: for the clases was it one at a time? Like they register you for one course at a time? Or can you do more than one?

@brookelynnenoel Год назад

I was only allowed to do one at a time until I proved to my mentor that I could accelerate classes. Then she started adding two or three at a time so I could start on a new one while waiting for assessments to be graded.

@alenk4682 2 года назад

How does grading work? What percentage do you have to get right to pass an exam/class?

@stevenjshedd 2 года назад

Great video. I start October 1. I'm taking the business admin program. Thanks for the info.

@NK 215 I got through first term classes in a week. Added 3 more

@stevenjshedd 2 года назад

@NK 215 you have to do at least 12 credits a term. Most classes are 3 credits so, four is standard.

@stevenjshedd 2 года назад

@NK 215 that's correct on both. Some complete just the minimum and others go quicker. I'm trying to go much quicker. The courses are designed to be about 5 weeks each.

@jasmineleann1102 2 года назад

How has the program been so far? Did you transfer any credits and have long do you think you have before completing the degree? Thank you!

Can I ask about your sticky notes on your visionary board, what do the P and O stand for?

@abasali9850 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your story! How many times are you allowed to take the tests? Do you have to start paying for tests?

@brookelynnenoel 2 года назад

I think you get 3 free tries. I’m not exactly sure though!

@InformalGreeting 2 года назад

You get 3 attempts on regular tests. I think 2 on the final. After that you’d have to pay. Being nervous is normal. But you’ll be OK. The only really difficult exams seem to be in the computer majors and those are certification exams not made by WGU.

I'm actually currently enrolled in wgu for elementary education as well and I'm doing the health class right now. I'm struggling with it alot and I'm going to do the exam soon. Any suggestions?

@brookelynnenoel 2 года назад

I had a bit of trouble with that class as well. I ended up looking at the subjects I was struggling in and youtubed brain-pop videos for them! Even though they are for kids, a lot of the base knowledge is there and presented in fun easy to retain ways!

@littledino9280 2 года назад

@@brookelynnenoel Thank you so much for responding. I'm actually going to try that. Sounds good. I remember doing brainpop in middle and bits in high school. Any specific brainpop videos?

@brookelynnenoel 2 года назад

@@littledino9280 none that I can think of. I would say just look at your pre-assessment or unit quizzes to see what you need to work on.

@raindancer3420 2 года назад

What happens if you don't pass a class? Is that rare, or does it happen? I'm not the best at math so I'm a bit worried about those. If you don't pass, can you retake the course?

@brookelynnenoel 2 года назад

If you don’t pass an exam or a task (paper) you can redo it however many times you need to. There is a fee after the 2nd or 3rd try I believe for the exams. If you don’t finish by the end of your term, you get an incomplete on that term and can finish it the next term.

Is this BA in elementary accredited and accepted by California teaching board?

@brookelynnenoel 10 месяцев назад

I’m not entirely sure. I would suggest contacting WGU and inquiring about this.

@plentifulteaching 2 года назад

how many hours do you study with working a 9-5?

@brookelynnenoel 2 года назад

Honestly, I only studies around 1-3 hours a day. However, this was just my experience so everyone’s pace and study time will be different according to their situation!

@wa-reviews2794 3 года назад

Did you transfer in any credits? I didn't catch if you said you did or not

@brookelynnenoel 3 года назад

Yes, I transferred in 26 credits as I had previously received an associates in another field.

@wa-reviews2794 3 года назад

@@brookelynnenoel Thanks for the reply, I’m waiting for my evaluation now. Hoping to get decent amount of credits to transfer and finish as fast as possible to do the PCE & DT! I also have an associates and about 50-60 credits on top of it so hoping for the best 🙈

@brookelynnenoel 3 года назад

@@wa-reviews2794 I was kind of disappointed when I only had 26 transfer, but WGUs credit system is different and I am finding that it’s not as small of a percentage as I first thought. Good luck with your studies!

How do you find teachers to interview? What if you don't know any?

@brookelynnenoel Год назад

I have a cousin who teaches so I interviewed her. I know some people contact their local schools and can usually get an interview that way.

@qjaytips9252 Год назад

I was told you have to get an external webcam for test.

@brookelynnenoel Год назад

Yes you do, the one from WGUs store is what I got. However, there are others that they recommend that you can get off of Amazon.

@katievlogz7077 2 года назад

I dont believe you said what exact class the 5th one was?

@erin1933 2 года назад

I believe that she mentioned that her last class was Psychology, she completed 5 classes in 5 weeks, and she was getting ready to start her 6th class, so I inferred that the fifth class was Psychology.

How much does WGU cost and how to you finance it?

@brookelynnenoel Год назад

If I remember it correctly it was around $3,500 when I went there a few years ago. There are different payment options from self pay, payment plans, student loans, scholarships, and grants.
