We have one more day before we are officially enrolled. Are you ready? What class are you starting with? Have you done anything ahead of time? How many CU's do you have to complete.
I will start first. Am I ready- HELL yeah, LOL. I have 38CU's to complete. I have task 1 for LUT1 ready to submit as soon as I have access to taskstream. I have also done the pre-assessment for Older Adult and scored a 77, so while waiting for LUT task 1 to come back I am going to study my weak points so that I can schedule the OA. I have also completed the chemistry review for Biochem so am ready to start on task 1 whenever. Can you tell I like to have several things in the fire at once. I will have several days a week when I will have very little time for studies due to my work schedule followed by several days off when after I sleep that first morning I will have several hours. I want to always have something brewing or ready to submit. My goal is to complete the program in 12-15 months. I have to be reasonable and I know that my 1st day off work is always the worst due to switching my sleep schedule and not sleeping well.
Good Luck everyone and looking forward to supporting and celebrating with everyone!
I just read your post and decided to check my WGU gmail account, and voila, my TaskStream user name was there in a message. So I registered, created a password, and now I am in your situation as far as waiting for the tasks to appear.
Biochem is now loaded into taskstream, running my originality report is running on the lipids task. Now just waiting for LUT to be added (which was requested first). Yours should be coming soon also Commuter

I checked Taskstream about an hour ago and my tasks are loaded. I will need to wait until tonight to submit my first Biochemistry task because my ancient home computer (a 2003 Compaq Presario) does not have Microsoft Powerpoint. I will need to submit from my slightly newer laptop.

UPDATE: I submitted my first Biochemistry task about 25 minutes ago and the originality report just came back a couple of minutes ago with a 25 percent match. Since the result was less than 30 percent, it can continue to be processed.
Good luck commuter!! I am one of those who actually liked biochem - did not find it difficult. Know that the graders for that class may return your task for something nitpicky - no worries, just fix and resubmit. I generally put anything 'fixed' in red and point it out when I turn it in. You'll get a 'notification of evaluation completion' if it passes (everyone LOVES that title) and a 'notification of work sent back' if it needs a fix.

What if the Turnitin.com report indicates that my assignment generated a 25 percent match, but 14 percent comes from one source?
To clarify, the Turnitin.com report also scanned the reference/bibliography page to generate that number.

Reference page does not count in the originality number and can be excluded when you run the report. I bet you'll be fine. I've said before on the facebook page that I never even ran turnitin reports as I never quoted ANYTHING and paraphrased 100% if I pulled from a source (cited, of course). I ran one for kicks on the practicum paper and got like 8%. :)
Biochem lately seems to be very nitpicky, as I mentioned earlier. I very rarely had papers returned but I had biochem papers sent back for things like labels on drawings not being exactly what they wanted. I still found it pretty fun and loved the videos. Got the whole thing done in 5 days, not including grading (which is slow for that class). Are you following the 20-day plan and doing lipids first?

Nope. I plan to do them in order. I submitted task 1 (DNA and RNA) last night and I hope to have the protein/BSE task 2 done by tomorrow for submission.
I am waiting for lipids to come back and am working on DNA,RNA. I really want to bang this out next week when I have whole days to work on it. We shall see. Now if my LUT would get loaded so that I can submit that first task. Ahh the waiting, I really am an impatient person. LOL
Hi dabmtcuRN is there a way you can message me on here. I would really love to ask you some questions. I found a conversation you were having with another girl about the nursing program in Lancaster, and it was helpful, but I have more specific questions. The discussion was closed so I couldn't comment there. If you're unable to message on here (I'm a new user, so I wouldn't know) could you please email me at loreelthomas(at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks so much!!
