What is the Computer Science Capstone like?

... I was concerned that we had to do "original research" i.e. conduct an experiment of some kind, and had no idea how to approach that in this context. Thanks for the insight.

A number of my classmates took that approach as did the sample paper that was provided. All of those used either surveys or interviews or both to generate original research. My feelings were similar to yours that my subject didn't lend itself to doing original research as it would require more time and resources than I could bring to bear. I instead tried to stick to sources based on primary research so that I was relying less on other people's conclusions.
