How I Passed WGU C458: Health, Fitness and Wellness
WGU Journey: Bachelor in Software Engineer
My name is Jess, and this is my journey through earning my Bachelor's degree at Western Governors University. I am documenting my work throughout classes; I aim to finish before August 21, 2025!
Time to complete: 7 Days
Pre-work
This class didn’t really have a lot of preparation, I did look at the course chatter and saw a lot of people recommended watching the recorded cohorts and the study guide.
Study Plan
My goal is to complete each class within a week; some may take a bit more time, but the rule of thumb is 1 class a week.
I took longer on this class primarily because it was a lot of personal events happening, but once I got started, I was able to pretty much fly through it.
This is one of the classes I suggest going through all the reading with the study guide. It made it a lot easier to understand what was important through all of the reading and different topics.
What I did
With the downloaded study guide, I reviewed unit 1-3 videos (4/29 + 5/10), which gave an overview of the four units. Then I jumped into the modules with the study guide (May 23-25); I worked in 45-minute time blocks and finished the study guide.
Pre-Assessment
I took the pre-assessment (5/26) and passed competent but on the emotional health and wellness I had “reaching competence”. I took it after only going through the content once, but I had already planned to review it. I reviewed the content by listening to the videos and rewriting my notes on my iPad, which took about an hour, and then I scheduled to take my objective assessment.
Done!
I passed the objective (5/29) in 13 mins; this class was very easy with the videos and the study guide. There was a pretty equal number of questions spread across the objective.
Physical Health - 24%
Nutrition- 24%
Emotional Health and Wellness - 24%
Social and Emotional Learning -29&
There were a lot of questions in regard to sleep stages, drug classifications, and diet guidelines.
