I am finishing up the final chapter for the capstone, and looking back on it, I think it could use some modifications. For one, if students are not used to writing research papers and analyzing the results, then they will have a harder time writing it. What they should do is not necessarily require original research, but maybe focus on writing a long report on a subject of your choice. I did that for a Business Communications class and enjoyed it immensely. No original research was required at all.
Most of the grade seems to be about if you formatted it correctly. My mentor hasn't graded it yet as to the content or veracity of my arguments. I suppose she'll do that as I submit this chapter, which analyzes the results of the study.
I am thankful that my mentor was available to guide me on how to set up the chapters. The instructions in each module are not explanatory enough for a course like this one that explain what sets apart a good paper from a great paper.
Dr. Haydel did assure me that you don't really "fail" the assignments, at least with her. If she feels she can't grade it because it is sub-par, she will give it a '0' grade so as to get your attention and have you fix the problem. I know I will pass the course as is, but until she certifies it in January, I will still feel uneasy.
It is something you have to do to graduate from TESC, so bite the bullet and do it.
