So I've finally finished all of my degree requirements for my BALS at TESU, save the 6 hours for the capstone and information literacy requirement. I'll be registering for the capstone this week, and wonder what your thoughts are on completing the new three credit cornerstone and the capstone at the same time? I'm eager to just get these courses done so that I can qualify for a September degree conferral, but it seems like the capstone may be something of a beast?
Thanks for your information, and help in getting to this point!

I'd say go for it. I heard the Info Lit SOS-110 isn't very difficult (never taken myself) plus if you take 6 credits you may eligible for aid, whereas with 3 credits you aren't. Just get the September graduation and get it done with. I know other people have done other courses alongside the capstone or still finished their degree, and they can do it you can too.

Depends how much time you have to spare, but I'd say go for it too.
I have had the time to do other stuff while taking the capstone.. (even though I haven't done anything else school wise)

I'm planning on taking another course alongside the Capstone (for financial aid purposes), though probably not SOS-110 (not a requirement for me). So at least if it's crazy, we're both crazy!

There has been enough info posted on here that someone could literally start the project in advance.
If you research and collect sources and do rough drafts of all of the assignments in advance, you would be in great shape once the course actually starts.
