My TESU Liberal Arts Capstone Experience

[Mamasaphire]

Recap of recommendations:

-Pick the Online Class Option.
-If you have no idea what to write about, pick something having to do with American History (like the Civil War) so that you will have plenty of resources to cite in your paper.
-Get the Writing the Winning Thesis book but don’t get the Keys for Writers.
-Get the syllabus for the course and complete Module 1 before you start the class. This will buy you more time to complete the comprehensive Module 2 tasks.
-Do the ETS test.
-Get someone to review/edit your assignments before you turn them in.
-Turn in assignments early.
-Post to the Discussion Forum AFTER you have completed the assignment.

As far as the topic goes, identify most of your sources before committing to it. Also, it's easier to cut scope back than add it later. I started with 5 sub questions, and cut it back to three later.

Really appreciate you both taking the time to share. Those tips are very helpful!

Any suggestions on where to buy an inexpensive copy of the Writing the Winning Thesis book? I see they are running about $30 new on Amazon, which isn't bad for a textbook, but if I can save some money it's always helpful
