I have to praise the design of this course. I have attended 2 similar discrete math courses before: one in high school which was a kind of extended math class talked about proof, sets and matrix, and an introductory graduate-level course from a brick and mortar university. WGU C959 is way better than any course I attended. It was quite difficult for those who don't have the experience of math, but you will know everything you have to know about this subject, and the assessment is basic but not easy.
I took the pre-assessment at the beginning with a score of 60, which was shocked me for I thought it should be a walk-through for me. I then talked to the CI and set a plan of reviewing/studying. I might be too careful, but I spent 12 days on this course and just passed the assessment.
Zybook is a good tool for quick reviewing. Zybook breaks the proof and procedures into very small pieces so you can watch carefully. I read through the Zybook and practiced the pre-ass again before taking the exam. If the content is new to you, I believe that you should choose a set of teaching videos on Youtube or whatsoever, and don't be rush on this course. I spent 12 weeks for discrete math course at college and we should not contempt this WGU course. In my opinion, spending 6-8 weeks for C959 is acceptable for an absolute beginner.
