LIB495 Module 2 question

[rlw74]

Module 2 in my capstone is due in two weeks. We are submitting Module 1 this weekend so haven't had any instructions for Module 2 yet. I've started the research and a rough draft. I've seen sample papers that are 20+ pages of the research collected and the annotated bibliography. I've also seen a quick summary of the resources - a few pages long submitted as module 2. Can someone who has taken this course advise on how detailed this should be? Do I basically need to have all my research done and written up over the next two weeks? I'm trying to get it all done but I think I'm gong to run out of time if I don't really work like crazy. On the other hand, maybe I'm trying to do more than is required.

Mine was just over 7 pages, plus annotated bibliography.

It wasn't super long, but it was the module I believe was the most effort if I'm remembering correctly.

No it does not have to be complete, you will have a chance to revise when you assemble the final paper. There were parts of mine where I stated what I expected to discover that didn't turn out that way, and a few places where the prof said I would need more detail. You have to keep in mind that these modules are drafts. It is expected that you will revise them according to the prof's comments.

Never let perfection get in the way of good.

Thank you so much for this info. I have been stressing that I won't get everything done. Based on samples it looked like this was the body of the paper and I was really worried it wouldn't be finished within the next two weeks. I have a pretty detailed outline of what I want to write about but there are portions I haven't started the research on yet. I guess I can stop stressing and just keep doing what I'm doing.
