I am so happy for your progress! Way to go!!!:hurray:

What are your topics about and who are your mentors? And the main thing is what was the methodology for your research?

My capstone writing is still far away and I have no idea what I can write computer science related. I purchased a book recommended for capstone and see that capstone requires a chapter on methodology. I do not understand what the methodology can be if I will not conduct a survey, interview, test, observation or work with documents? I cannot write that I logged online , found scientific articles and wrote research based on findings - it will be literary review, wouldn't it? I found three TESC capstones : one used a survey ( as if conducted online ), the other was based on interviews with prisoners asking why they started to use drugs, and the third one was historical research that used as primary sources biography and some governmental documents. I know I cannot do work related survey or experiments for the capstone since I am not working, so my only option is to write something history related? Did somebody else have the same problem? Any insights?
