Just finished my Lib Arts Capstone at TESU

[jsh1138]

I found the sample papers posted here to be invaluable, literally invaluable. The course notes don't give you alot to go on and sometimes what the instructor says contradicts what the book says and it can be very confusing. The majority of your grade is based on things like formatting and APA citation and not content, so its important to get it right and seeing examples of other people's work was enormously helpful to me. 

I'd be glad to add my paper to the pile if anyone ever thinks seeing it would help them. 

Anyway, I'm all done with my degree, except I need to do a couple of Study.com classes still, so hopefully sometime in June I'll apply to graduate. Then I'll be on to the next Bachelor's and after that maybe a Master's.

Congrats

Congrats, which second bachelors degree are you looking at? And is it going to be at TESU or WGU?

I was thinking of doing Business/Psych at COSC, actually.

I would like to see your paper. I am in the middle of the capstone now.

What letter grade did you get?

[jsh1138]

I got an A on the paper and the course

as I said, they don't really grade the content. so for example, if you say "i think queen elizabeth was a bad queen and this is why", you don't get graded on whether or not you're wrong about her being a bad queen. so tbh your grade is mostly going to come down to you turning in your work on time and meeting the requirements of each part of the assignment, ie, if they say you have to have 15 books in your bibliography, you have to have 15, not 10. Correctly using APA citations is a big part of it too.

once you just sort of accept that the part you find least interesting is the most important part for your grade, it goes pretty smoothly and you ought to get a good grade if you just do the work.

I have not found that to be my experience thus far. Peck is a very tough grader, and reads content and sources to evaluate your paper on top of everything else you mentioned above.

well done.
Just curiously, what's the capstone? Is it an essay for your liberal courses?

[jsh1138]

well its a final project. it doesn't necessarily have to be an essay, it could be like a research paper or if you're an english major it could be a creative writing project or it could be some kind of experiment or survey or something. there's alot of freedom in picking what you want to do with it

I have not found that to be my experience thus far.

Yeah, me either. You may just have lucked out!
