BUS-421 - Capstone - Final Project Submitted! - Gloddy - 07-21-2018
Hi,
I just have to share this with everyone here.
In September of 2016, I was 43 and working on a professional certification that I chose over another because the other required an undergrad. A colleague in a similar situation, also with a military background, told me about TESU and how he is attending classes there to finish his degree.
I came home that night and started looking for reviews of TESU. I quickly found this community and never looked back.
Since that night, I completed the designation I was working on and since I knew I was going to finish my undergrad (finally), I completed the other as well. In fact, TESU accepted the coursework for most of my upper level finance classes. I completed both of them in late 2017. Simultaneously, I was doing my coursework on study.com until all I had left to do was the BUS421 - Capstone.
Well, I just turned in the final project today, 1 full day before the deadline. Even if I get a 60 on the project, I will finish with a B in the class.
Thank You to everyone here who has ever posted a question and everyone who ever took the time to answer them. I could not have done this without this community! THANK YOU ALL!
Of course I still have questions...
Does anyone know how long it will be from now until I get my final grade?
Does anyone know how long it will be from now until my audit is complete? I applied for September graduation.

I would love to know that as well. I work in financial planning. I wonder how many families with High School aged children would benefit by knowing about this forum and the opportunities for inexpensive college credits. Often, my clients face the dilemma of saving for retirement or college education for their children.
I have a question for you. I see you have an Associates in Computer Science from TESU. I have always wished I had pursued this when I was younger. Now that I have an undergrad (soon anyway), what is required for the associates? Would I only need to take the area of study courses? Any guidance is appreciated.

I'm curious too how long it takes from the course ending until you know what your overall grade will be for the BUS-421 - Capstone course.
I assume it will be viewable in the TESU student OSS before something is received in the mail? I would assume (hope) it is pretty quick due to it traditionally being the final course before graduating.

Today I received my second to last assignment grade. Still waiting on Final Project. I turned it in the 21st, so it hasn't been too long. I did email academic evaluation to ask about my audit. They said I am scheduled and based on the time I applied it appears the audit will be in mid-August. I wish it was sooner, but at least now I have some sense of when to expect it.

I was told all transcripts (expect the capstone) had to be in by August 15th for September graduation. I am in the June 2018 capstone which ends August 28th.
Question for those who have submitted the BUS421 final paper: Do you know if it is graded for the content or for being able to support your opinions (even if they might not be 100% accurate)?

I think as long as you support your answers and demonstrate an understanding of the course material then you should be fine. I tried to cram in as many concepts from the course as possible and answer all the prompts and I got an A.

Okay, I am working on my final paper. I am pretty good at figuring things out, but how in the world can you have a footer repeat itself on all pages? I watched too many videos by now and none has addressed it. I am using Word. I have no problem with the header.
