Purdue Global BS IT - End of first term

[acethroughcollege]

Clockworkhammer, if you have some time, some of us might be curious how your term is going?

Did they let you start the capstone? How is that going? Did you finish the other courses?

I finished the last course module on June 20, a little over a month from end of term.

They did allow me to start the Capstone as there is a live seminar every week of the 10-week term. I was able to do course modules and the Capstone in parallel. 

The Capstone consists of 10 Units, one per week. Each weekly unit involves assignments, a live seminar and participation in discussion forums. 

As of now, 6 Capstone units are complete with 4 more to go. Almost there!

Great job! Could you give an idea of what the Capstone Units are like? What topics do you go through?

It's a 10-week individual project, one unit per week. You choose from a selection of IT scenarios related to the program. Could be building a website or expanding a computer network, etc. Each week you have a live seminar, participate in mandatory online discussions and submit assignments. The assignments are standard project management documents such as Project Charter, WBS, etc. The assignments could be in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or even an audio recording. The assignments follow the lifecycle of a project, so you start with a project charter and end with a project archive. I found it very useful and relevant. If you know Project Management, then it will come easier to you. Hope that helps.

What will your total cost be?
