MBA: Step5 Courses?

Step5: What courses and how long?

Making a pacing plan is the first thing you are going to do with your course mentor.

The important part is to try making a plan that can complete within the first 6 months.

If this is too much for you, you can always change it later.

If you want to do this aggressive plan, the approximate dates will be as follows.

Courses	Task	Approximate days
C200 Managing Orgs & Leading People	2 Essays	7 days
C202 Managing Human Capital	1 Exam	7 days
C204 Management Communications	2 Essays	7 days
C212 Marketing	1 Essay	14 days
C213 Accounting For Decision Makers	1 Exam	14 days
C206 Ethical Leadership	3 Essays	14 days
C214 Financial Management	1 Exam	14 days
C207 Data-Driven Decision Making	2 Essays 1 Exam	18 days
C215 Operations Management	1 Exam	7 days
C211 Global Economics For Managers	1 Exam	14 days
C216 MBA Capstone	Team simulation, 1 video presentation, 1 presentation, 4 Essay	62 days

This is how much time it takes for each course, and what is tasked for each course.
If you finish earlier than these dates, then you know that you are in front of the game.
If you are late, you know you would need to speed up a little bit to make it in 1 term.
The pacing plan makes it clear for you to understand where you are right now.

I paced it more aggressively in the beginning because you should have the most passion in the beginning.

You should use this emotion to move quickly, and be used to the system quickly.

There are a lot of materials, cohorts, writing centers, math centers, well connect you in the WGU system, but don’t waste your time in these places.

You joined WGU to work on completing MBA,
so you should work on the text book and assignments as soon as possible.

As you may know, passion usually will not last long.

After your 3rd course, you will probably be slower than you first started.

That is why I paced 2 weeks starting from C212.

Remember that Capstone at the last is going to take much more time than you intend.

All the other courses are leaded by your pace except this one.

You will have to work with 4 other members, and they all should not be fast as you are.
Though there are some tips. I will mention later how to speed up the Capstone process.

For now, you first need to concentrate on working on the rest of the courses that you can speed up by yourself.

Again, you need to make time for the Capstone.
