Is the opportunity worth the risk?

It depends on the course requirements. Some courses have 1 task you have to complete. Other courses have 2 tasks while one class may only have a proctored exam to take when you're ready. The tasks can be tedious as there's a bulleted list of items that need to be included in your work and explained within the task, as well as citing sources correctly. This means incorporating sources into your work, explaining why the quote fits, and correctly citing it. The proctored exam is a pain because of the platform they use. Your laptop MUST meet the requirements of the platform in order to even take the exam. With the tasks, you're also depending on the course instructor to grade your paper based on the requirements listed within the task.

All in all, pass the task, you pass the course.

I have 3 courses left in my MS ITM program that I'm hoping to have completed by the middle of December.

Once the final 2 assignments I've submitted this week are approved, I'll be done with this program. Graduation is scheduled to be in New Orleans, and I'll definitely be there for that.

Aiming for the SecAI+ next
