Hello Chan.kckn. I just finished up LIB-4950 on 7/28 with Dr. Christine Hansen per the researched suggestion of this board and ratemyprofessor. It's pretty straightforward. 4 written assignments geared to each section/chapter of your research. 5 discussion forums sharing your progress on your research; keep up with the initial/response deadlines as this is not accepted late. The final discussion post is actually posting the oral presentation/slideshow of your research, which is also worth 10% toward your capstone (I opted out of doing it and still passed the course). I was overwhelmed with the thought of completing a 25-40 page paper in the beginning, but it eased up once I realized the 4 written assignments go toward the completion of the full project.
Your topic has to go along with your major (my major is computer science and I tied the advancement of technology and possible future technology that can help the deaf and hard of-Hearing). Your topic/thesis has to get approved first before starting any research; try to get it to be specific and not too broad.
If possible, do the ETS Profile/MFT early on so you don't have to worry about it during the middle of finishing up the capstone. I do believe the MFT is graded per your score if you're taking the exam and not the written one. I scored low but within range and earned a 75 for my low score.
Overall, a great course with a helpful mentor.
