You get to pick your topic. If your instructor requires original research, some topics will probably not work. Dr. Haydel does require original research.
You then come up with a major question and sub-questions related to the topic. The instructor responds with feedback on whether your questions are appropriate or will work.
As far as taking it next month, I'm not sure if Dr. Haydel is teaching it next month. I think instructors teach it every three months, starting again after the last class has already finished. I'm sure there will be other good instructors though to choose from.

He is a TESU alumni so it felt nice having a professor that has "been there". He makes himself available and grades assignments quickly. If there is something wrong with an assignment he will provide his phone number so you can call him until midnight or 12:30.He wants you to succeed but expect to work hard no matter who your mentor is. You will learn a lot a come out of this experience ready to take on the world ?
I'm so glad you had a great experience!
And thank-you for the advice! If I survive this course, I certainly will!
She is EXTREMELY supportive, and provides an extra live Zoom session each week to help everyone stay on track.
If you are a student who likes this level of support, she is a good match. However, if you want to be left alone and just eek it out without extra help, then she is not the right choice.

You choose, but the instructor will have an opinion about it and provide guidance as to whether your choice will produce a paper that meets the course requirements and/or will help you get a good grade.
