So, Education Without Boundaries went by quick and easy! It's basically the orientation class at WGU. It will explain to you all of the guidelines, processes, links in the portal, how to use communities, how to contact course mentors etc.
You'll have access to EWB on the 15th of the month prior to your start date. You can read through and watch all of the videos in about 3 hours, but I spread it out over a couple of days (mostly lunch breaks etc). You cannot fail EWB unless you don't read through all of the information and miss a required task, but when you pass EWB you will receive your first competency unit!
After you finish EWB, you'll be able to access your "myDegree Plan" and "myCourses". Also, you'll have access to courses that you and your mentor have set for your first term. I have had a weird glitch that has not allowed me access to my courses, though, so I've been stuck waiting for tech support to fix my portal. Basically, my portal is not working, all I can do is send/receive email. My mentor has assured me that they will be able to get it fixed soon, but I hope sooner than later because my term is set to start on Wednesday!!! Anyway, I know that one of my first courses will be "CLC1 - Reasoning and Problem Solving". It's a course designed to teach you to think critically. So, as soon as my portal is fixed and I'm able to access my classes, I'll be blogging about each class individually. :)
For now, I'm just playing the waiting game! Hope all is well where you are! Check back with me soon! :)
