All is well! I have a little over three 3 weeks left, and it's looking good. Unless something catastrophic happens on my last chapter or final compilation of the work, there should be no issues with me getting an A.
It is a lot of work, and I wouldn't want to do it again, but if I had to, I wouldn't be stressed out by it at all like I was heading in to it. It's a fairly simple process, just a time consuming one.
Like I said previous, the paper I've put together isn't the most interesting (even to me as I write it), and not even my best work, but it's more than a doable class. You just repeat yourself a lot.
I agree with you. I really liked my topic, though, and I learned a whole lot. However, I think any topic will start to go stale once you've torn it apart, chapter after chapter. The format just doesn't lend itself to interesting reading. Still, I think the class is more than doable and I actually think it's a good exercise for a bachelor's degree program. I took the Guided Study, against advice not to, and I don't regret that decision. It allowed me to focus more on my own writing and research. Whether or not the guided study option works for others would depend on that person - the strength of their writing skills, ability to work independently, time, etc.
