It isn't unheard of on this forum. I finished 42 credits in about 11 weeks and was seriously upset I waited to start the capstone until after I finished all those credits. I wrote the entire 80+ page paper in less than 2 weeks and spent the equivalent of another 2 weeks polishing it off. And I wrote 40 pages of another paper on top of that in the same amount of time because I wasn't sure which topic I wanted to pursue. It was so frustrating to have to wait to submit the modules two weeks apart when I had all of them finished so early in the course. I got 100% on the paper too...so not like I was trying to achieve the bare minimum. I was also enrolled in a full-time master's level advanced translation program that required about 15 hours of homework per week outside of class. So its doable. I would encourage him to go for it and worse case scenario is that if he doesn't get finished he can get approved for the next graduation date and he'll have his capstone out of the way long before that date.
