Hey,
How much work does the 8 week capstone have vs the 16 week capstone? How long are written papers in the capstone expected to be (general word count)? Does the 8 week capstone require longer written papers than the 16 week capstone, to make up for the fact it is crammed into 2 months rather than 4? Or does the 8 week capstone just have lots of shorter written assignments (more of these than the 16 week capstone)?

I am taking a Capstone at COSC, so can't really answer your question, but I had to comment. 16 weeks?? YIKES. :eek: I couldn't handle 16 weeks of the same subject. My COSC Capstone is 8 week and pretty intense, but I'm finding the work I do with the Capstone is still easier than studying for some of the harder tests. AND I'm already in week 4. It's really flying by.. when you're busy the 8 weeks really do go very quickly.

You're welcome! My guess is that there aren't a lot of people here that have taken the course you're asking about, and that's probably why you didn't get more answers.
What did you decide to do?
