LIB 495 Capstone - Mitmike2019 - 03-14-2020

I was reading the LIB 495 Capstone syllabus and I did not see a midterm or final exam listed. Is this correct?

Correct, there was a change to the Liberal Arts course earlier, it was changed/modified for 2019a year.
Anyways, you are correct, there is no midterm or final exam.
I don't think the previous one Lib Arts capstone had either.

Your grade in the course will be determined as follows:

Online discussions (5)—20%
Written assignments (4)—30%
ETS Major Field Test or Written Communication Assessment—10%
ETS Proficiency Profile—5%
Capstone project (2 parts)—35%
Academic research paper—25%
Oral presentation—10%

Here's the course with the grade info too - Link: https://www2.tesu.edu/syllabus/current/LIB-495/syllabus_LIB-495.html

I begin LIB-495 in July and I've been thinking about my topic. I must have originally viewed the syllabus for the old version of this course because I thought a project was one of the options (and where I was leaning). Since that no longer seems to be the case, does anyone know if the academic research paper can incorporate a project? It would be a combination creative/applied project. I was actually excited about this and I'll be bummed if it has to be a plain-old research paper!

Is the oral presentation a video like for sophia public speaking? or is it live with instructor? for the online version of the course, of course.

I just finished the Capstone and did the guided study option (so not sure if it would be different for the non-guided study). The oral presentation was making a powerpoint presentation that was 12-15 slides and recording a 8-10 minute presentation about your topic. I think the name of the program you use is Kaltura and it captures both you speaking through your camera and the powerpoint through recording your screen.
