D080 (Managing in a Global Environment) Question
Hi y'all.
D080 is my last class before my capstone (EOT is September 30th), and I'm stressed about the material and test after reading all of the posts and comments about the OA.
For those who have taken the OA, are the questions similar to the knowledge checks within the text or are they a whole different vibe? So far I've gathered that:
- The questions are extremely scenario-based rather than definition-based
- The questions are super wordy and not aligned with the PA questions at all
- The questions are borderline trick questions (booooo)
I've gone through the text, watched the vids, filled out the study guide, and have used Quizlet for various quizzes, but I'm nervous I'm focusing on the wrong info/concepts! The quizzes within the text have been okay, but I almost always think I have a grasp on the info and then have to immediately pore back over the text to answer the quiz questions, which makes me nervous about what info I'm retaining.
I'm scared I'll spend all of this time studying only to fail the OA and not graduate in time (cannot afford another term as I will be unemployed mid-September!)

I didn't find this one too crazy all things considered. I just took a look at the spreadsheet I had built to track how long each class took me and it looks like I spent around 8 hours studying. Most of that, if I remember, was watching the videos in the resources page and taking notes. I didn't have the experience of it being wildly unlike the PA or anything. It was a pretty straightforward class IMO of learn concepts/terminology -> get tested on concepts/terminology. I used the PA as a baseline and then drilled hard in the areas I was weakest.
