Hi Jennifer, nice to meet you! Thank you! Yes, I can create a video about that. I choose WGU based on reviews I had seen online and videos I had seen on KZfaq. I had other coworkers at the time tell me pros/cons of Capella and other programs. WGU happened to be the best fit for me.

Hi shecares22, nice to meet you! Whoever is proctoring your exam will tell you exactly how to position the camera so they get the best angle of your hands, the keyboard, and your computer.

Thanks! It’s been a minute since I’ve completed an OA so it’s hard to say off the top of my head. But I feel like as long as you prep/study and have a generally good understanding of the content you will do well.

Hi there, shady9206, nice to meet you! The final is pass or fail. For most assignments you have to be deemed "competent" in all areas to pass.

Well if you have enough ambition and if your trying to accomplish your goals and get into your career then no it's not to much. That's lazy mentality. If you want your degree bad enough then you do what you have to do. It makes the feeling of graduating that much better. To know you didn't all that hard work. Following the rules for school is not crazy like what 😂 your lazy asf

Hi albertc2390, nice to meet you. Good question, the students give the proctor access to their computer. The person proctoring is able to speak through the computer speakers/sound system.

@@Alyssa.Suarez Hi, Alyssa. But what if the PC doesn't have speakers? I'm assuming a headset would be okay? Thank you for responding, btw!

@@albertc2390 Typically, if the PC doesn’t have speakers connected the PC has internal speakers. But WGU has a systems check before you take exams. If there are still issues, the proctor can prob help you troubleshoot.

Hi dreamsofendlessguiyat167, nice to meet you! I feel like the review prep helped. Everyone has different learning styles. I benefited from watching videos and listening to different cohort videos.

Hi there, sorry I don’t remember the brand name. But the webcam can be found on the WGU website.

@@Alyssa.Suarez 💯

Hi user-ms3rp5lu1p, good question! I’m not super tech savvy but… maybe try plugging in the webcam and see if it shows up as an option when connecting via Zoom or when turning on your computer camera.

That's where I am stuck

Hi realitycontradiction, nice to meet you! If I remember correctly, the welcome kit is included in your payment when you first apply and start the program.

@@Alyssa.Suarez I was told that I had to provide it. They sell kits now.

@@Alyssa.Suarez What?!! I had to spend 60 dollars on amazon for a webcam and tripod. I was never told about a kit or a whiteboard.

Hi there! Sorry if my video is confusing. I used a desk top computer. I’m sure if you have a laptop and connect the usb camera it should be compatible. To be honest I put that camera in a box in my garage somewhere and my garage is a disaster! 😬😳 Congrats on starting the program! I hope things work out with your webcam. 🙏🏼💗

Hi there AkohYvettev, nice to meet you! I forget the exact amount, I believe I have it in the video. But its roughly $4000 dollars for 6 months.

I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe things have changed since I went there. I’ll double check and see if maybe I paid for it but wasn’t aware. 🤔😕

Alyssa!!!😂 The sound effects! So entertaining 😂 Your videos are so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏾

Now you have me thinking that I may have paid for these items. 🤔 But it is a kit/box I received in the mail with these items described in the video. 😕

Hi there! 😂 The disk came with the camera. I believe it was used to download any software a computer may need to use the camera.

Hi there, nice to meet you! My hope is to answer all of these questions to the best of my ability. However, I definitely recommend talking to a WGU counselor who will do a much better job than me. Each exam is different. I honestly do not remember how many exam questions there where. As I mentioned in another video, or maybe even this one, I would join cohorts that had pre-recorded content that was discussed and helped to solidify what I was learning in the course. After joining the cohorts, I felt prepared for my exams. I'm not too sure what you mean by, "is WGU competent in their teaching?" WGU is an accredited college. They hire professors that must be competent to teach the content they are teaching. I felt competent taking my exams and writing any necessary papers. If I was unsure about something I would just reach out to my instructor. I didn't purchase any textbooks. I believe the tuition covers the cost of the online textbooks/resources needed for the program. There are no sites for practice tests/exams. Everything is conducted online. Each class is a little different. I felt well prepared to take my exams and felt that the content presented/taught was aligned with the exam questions. I hope these answers helped. If you are interested in WGU I recommend checking out their website and scheduling an appointment with a WGU rep/counselor. Have a blessed day!

Thanks for your response. Since my Laptop has natural / inbuilt Webcamp, must I purchase this type of external camera as you said?

​@@justinokpalaobi6350yes, even if it's built-in, you still need an external one. That's what an enrollment counselor told me.
