Thanks @vetvso & Merlin. Sounds good. Can I taken it even in these 10 days leading up to the Capstone? Or only once the program has officially started?

I don't think you can do anything until the term begins. You get access to the portal a few days before so you can grab the syllabus, read through the requirements, make sure you have all the right materials, etc., but that is about it.
Since I had to get a textbook for my class, I used my time before the course started to read through the textbook and create detailed notes on the first 5-6 chapters. Those came in very handy as I got further into the course, but then again I took the business capstone which is very different.

I am registered for the April 2019 Capstone with Dr. Cody, starting on April 1st. When does the course become available online? Is it 1 week in advance? Or only on April 1st? I have been checking my TESU every day for the past 4 days, and I don’t see the Capstone under ‘my courses’. Just want to be sure I am not missing something in terms of updating my computer etc?

You can take it anytime. It is recommended to take it about midway through the course. However, I would just ask your professor. Send him a message or post on the forum as I'm sure everyone else in your course wants to know too.

How long do you usually have to wait before getting feed back on each written assignment? Is two weeks normal to not have any feedback or grades on the book, AFTER the assignment was submitted? Our second assignment is due and we do not have feedback on the first, yet. No discussions have been graded after one month.
This may be expected, and I am just not familiar with it. How much mentor involvement should we be seeing?
As for expected grades, I got my discussion posts graded like one to three days after they were due. For the assignments, they took about a week. Normally, these assignments are very long, so I would expect them to take a bit of time. A lot of the professors have other jobs as well.

If anyone inserted any charts or tables in the chapter 4 assignment, how did you do it?
Just use snipping tool and copy and paste it in and then cite it in proper Figure/Table format?
I am wondering if inserting them at the end of the assignment looks better in terms of the layout...

I put mine in an appendix. My understanding from how the mentor had explained it in my capstone was that most tables would be better in an appendix, as they should be more of a supplement to the writing, i.e. the writing should clearly explain the relevant information in the chart/graph/table.
There were some exceptions, for instance if you are using existing graphics from outside sources and visually comparing how they differ.

I included mine at the end. One was a table with figures, which I reformatted myself rather than try to copy and paste as a bitmap. The second was a graph which I did copy and paste as a bitmap. If you do copy a bitmap, make sure to get it in as high a resolution as you can so it doesn't look fuzzy if printed or viewed on a large monitor. I did a copy and paste from acrobat reader, which got me the original resolution.
