Difference between Guided Study and Online Capstone

[dfrecore]

I spoke with academic advising this morning to confirm this. When I went to register the Online was full. The only option is the Guided Study.



If not, can anyone breakdown the guided study in terms of the amount of writing they had to do?

Finally, this is my first actual class with TESU.  Can someone tell me how the testing works?  I use study.com and do the proctored exams right in my house with a webcam.  Is it the same or will I have to go somewhere?

Thanks

I took the Business Capstone with Himelstein as Guided Study.

The only difference between the Online and GS is the discussion questions.  Instead of posting and responding to posts, you actually have to write a short paper for the discussion.  It wasn't terrible.

My advice:

1) Set up the Course calendar page to make sure that you hit all your deadlines.

2) Keep up with the weekly reading and writing.  Don't wait until the last minute to complete things, set aside time early in the week to do the reading, then write the papers soon afterwards.  You can even get a little ahead and it not be a problem.

3) Start early on the final paper.  It took me a while to even figure out what I wanted to write it on, and that was a waste of time.  Just pick one of the topics and get to work.

The midterm was taken at home through ProctorU.  Schedule it in advance and be prepared.

I'm including my syllabus so you can see what it entails.

Also, for my Case Studies, they were all 4 pages (except 1 was 3 pages), and I got 100% on all of them.  I obviously figured those out.  For my discussion questions, they were all 1 pages (except 1 was 4 pages), and I got 85% on 2, 88% on one, and 100% on one (and it wasn't the 4 page one).  I'm not certain what I did wrong on those, but I didn't care so much because they counted for a small percentage of the grade.  If I would have been able to figure those out, I'd have got A's on them too.  Oh well.
