I think it's the easiest of the capstones, certainly it is the least writing. You will engage in 8 discussion forums which are free points if you put forth any reasonable effort. You will write 4 4-5 page papers on a topic of your choosing then combine them into the final paper by incoprorating feedback and adding transitions. You can feel free to ignore almost all of the required reading, it is unnecessary for either the papers or the discussions.

I also thought it was extremely easy if you take it seriously. It was just as tallpilot said, the readings didn't even relate to the material in mine, which was odd. For every discussion I was having to look everything up on my own because the reading material was not helpful at all. I wish there was a text for the course with the information that was supposed to be covered in each lesson, but it's not hard information to find online. I ended up with 100% on every assignment in the course, including the final paper. I received zero feedback or criticism to try to incorporate or improve so I didn't bother to change anything for my final 25 page paper except for updating the abstract to combine all four papers. Even though I received a 100% in the course I felt a little disappointed. No feedback or critique on my papers other than "good job", and the reading materials for the course were severely lacking.

The biggest piece of advice I would have is to look carefully at the paper topics for all four papers before coming up with a topic to write about. Make sure you have a broad enough topic that will allow you to write enough about each section with plenty of sources.

mvk, are you thinking of adding a TESU BSIT or BS Tech Studies to your CV and resume? That course is the Capstone for the BS degrees.
