Well, I finally got back the grade for the completed capstone, and I got a 93. What brought the score down was I didn't have the references formatted properly.
For the cumulative score, I finish the course with 94%. From the GPA scale on TESC's site, that is high enough to preserve 4.0! Now I just have to have her update the college, and I should be all done with the B.A. ! :-)

I can't wait until I can say that!
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

Lucky, I ended up with a 94 on my final paper and the mentor never even left notes as to why points were deducted. As a matter of fact, my mentor was pretty much non existent throughout the course. All of us in the class were pretty much shooting from the hip on a lot of the stuff. My Capstone was a little different I suspect in large part due to the extra accreditation. The final paper was a 35 page minimum that was split up between myself and 2 other team members. I also remember having to do an oral presentation that I had to post up on youtube to be graded on. The presentation and the paper were both judged against a rubric strictly delineated by the ABET accreditation guidelines so yeah, it was a tough course indeed, especially with the mentor MIA 95% of the time...
