And if you correct your papers for chapters 1-5 as you get them back, putting the capstone together and submitting it will be the easiest assignment. I was convinced I was doing something horribly wrong because that assignment was so easy.
I also looked at the description of the creative project but decided it would be more difficult than writing.
My advice would be to think of a topic that interests you and try to think of a few subquestions to research that will answer your main question.(that was the hardest part for me) My subquestions actually changed a bit as I did my research.
Lyanne is right. My capstone is turning out to be around 34 pages of just the writing, but with the bibliography, annotations, and appendixes, it could be near fifty pages.
It is normal to feel overwhelmed. It'll feel like you are trying to take in a fire hose of information all at once. But rest assured that as you progress you will get more comfortable with your mentor and what they expect of you, and you will look back at the end and wonder how you did it. I am preparing to revise and compile the final capstone paper for the last assignment, and I just go back and wonder how I did it.
