I still don't feel like I covered all I need to, but I am so burned out I'm not going to add anything. Admittedly, I do not have any experience with a paper of this sort, maybe that's why it is so time-consuming for me. Chapter2: literature review was the 2nd most time-consuming. I sure hope ch5 & 6 are easier.
I'm on chap 1 now and need to be finished ASAP and start chap 2 next week. This style of writing is also new to me as well and I will need time to adjust to it.

If your really interested in improving your style of writing the capstone really will help you out. Also, keep your Master's research into consideration as you put your paper together, and you can build upon it later.

Just a special note on using the TESU Moodle platform. When you upload a paper it may not be fully submitted, and you also have to submit the paper within a second step in order for it to be graded.

This mainly applies to courses that have been switched from Turnitin to SafeAssign. When you first upload something, it will be in draft mode; you have to scroll to the bottom and click submit for grading to finalize the submission.

To my surprise, I did very well on the 1st Chapter of my capstone. He gave several good suggestions and I will make the corrections. I also happy with the instructor, and think I will do very well as time goes on.

I am already 21% completed with my capstone for Liberal Arts. I have worked ahead and am over 1/4 the way done and will be writing up my second chapter soon. Don't let your anxiety prevent you from taking the course. I am a very busy person with 6 classes on my plate and I still work part time so it's possible.

I am now working on module 2 and will be developing my research and bibliography page of sources. Academic writing is now my weak area but I expect that to improve quickly by next year. It's important to keep up with the forum posts and your two reply's per thread for each module. It can be easy to lose track and there is a calendar within the moodle page of the course that has helped me allot.

Did you already have a bunch of research done prior to starting the course? It seems like a lot of work to do all at once.

No, but I did have a general idea on a subject. I have the main book and am just researching as I go. I am enrolled in 6 classes and work two part-time jobs so it's doable.
