Most of the posts I read about the capstone only allude to massive amounts of reading, gathering knowledge, and using it to substantiate one’s own hypotheses- kind of like writing a research paper for some of the study.com courses, albeit much more extensive. But now, I am learning that it is more than just that. Please clarify.

As of about a year ago, the capstone began requiring research using "primary sources". This can be interviews, surveys, raw data from various sources (like government data, internet data, financial data, etc) or using actual transcripts of speeches, manuscripts, etc. Some of the mentors are more pushy about this than others. I never did interviews or surveys, but I did use some transcripts of congressional testimony and legislation.

Most of it is gathering information and data. I used peer-reviewed articles to gather knowledge and found studies that were conducted and provided graphs that I made from that data. Part of it is addressing a "gap in knowledge". My mentor did not require it, but I did conduct interviews and questionnaires. I summarized this information and produced graphs and charts from that also. I did about 12 interviews/questionnaires and it was the most interesting part of my project. This chapter was the most time-consuming for me.

Sounds interesting! But did you have to get your interview/survey model approved by TESU’s IRB? And did you have to get consent forms signed by the participants you interviewed?

I will be creating Chap 4 this weekend and next week. I had a difficult time creating the research review and was really pressed for time. Chap 4 is based on my research and should be more straight forward.

I completed Chap 4 a few days ago. It was about 7 pages in length and I have one more chap left the summary before I need to cobble everything together for the completed capstone. I was traveling, moving and was sick for almost 2 weeks during this class. When the class started I was also taking 4 classes at a B&M school with two classes online via TESU. So if I can handle this class with my workload most people here should have zero issues.
