Thanks, Westerner, for sending me a copy of your capstone paper. It gave me a better feel as to layout.
I started my course on Tuesday, and I have Dr. Haydel as my mentor. I spoke with her at length yesterday on the phone, and discovered that she was the originator of this TESC course. She is very helpful and definitely steered me towards a good topic. I had misunderstood the nature of the project, because I thought it was more of a research paper. But she encouraged me to write about my experiences as a writer, and use the project to interview and survey other authors in my Facebook group. With that in mind, I re-wrote my Topic suggestions and re-submitted it for the first assignment. And since I usually get assignments done way ahead of schedule, I'll probably take a crack at the Introduction this weekend.
It's great to have others like you, Westerner, to show us how doable it is.
BTW, are you now slated for the December graduation, or will you have to wait for March?
