Capstone Writing: Tips & Tricks

[LevelUP]

P226mem's advice is on point.

I had a similar experience as P226mem.  I didn't know what I was doing when I started the Liberal Arts capstone, and the book they gave you didn't spell out the instructions of what to do step by step.

At first, I thought I was doing great on the capstone.  I had turned in my first assignment and did the first post.  At the same time, I was working on the hardest of the CS  Study.com courses.  Then I got a C on my first paper, didn't get 100% on my forum post (not sure why), and realized my thesis was a mess.

With less than a week before assignment 2 was due, I reached out to the professor, and we had some long conversations on the phone.  I ended up completely changing my thesis to a new topic.

I had trouble with the assignments and the powerpoint presentation when they asked you to describe your topic and how you came to a conclusion.  Those were all great questions I wanted to know the answers to as well because at the time, other than my outline, I had not written one word about my topic, lol. 

In the end, by some miracle, I still ended up with an A in the course.  (This is a story about a girl named lucky)
