EC's Capstone - LA498 - Help/Advice/Info Appreciated
#19
It is not a useful class and I will not use that info ever again as I will just make up the PC crap to appease the instructor. Like 90% of college its the means to the end. Sadly, I expected colleges like EC that have been dealing with older adults for 50+ years to be better by now. I am wrong!

Where did you get your citations for the two essays (diversity/ethics)? How many?

Did you use Grammarly?
https://www.grammarly.com/1

How long was your voice-over narration for your PowerPoint Presentation? Is each slide a different sound file? I have never done one before!

If I can ask? What was the names of your Global Issue (M2A1)? Essay on Ethics (M3A1)? Essay on Diversity (M4A1)? Final PPT (PowerPoint/voice) Outline? Final PPT?
I am trying to see how narrow or wide I need to be thinking?

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I can't comment on the Military Option, but I can say that at least 50% of my Capstone classmates were in the military and used military-type topics for their papers/projects (think Terrorism, Cybersecurity, etc.). My Prof. was not picky with regards to subject - if it fit the criteria - a Global Issue for the research paper/narrowed-down interrelated topic for the PP, it was OK.

The Global Essay and the PP topics are discussed with the class, the other two essays (diversity/ethics) are not. Just try and pick subjects you are interested in and can find ample research articles for...again, my Prof. did not request any pre-approval for topics.

A big part of your grade (30%) centers on Discussion Group participation. Each week has at least two different lessons, each with a written assignment you must post to the class. After your initial post, you then must respond to a certain number of other classmates posts, adhering to specific assignment prompts. My Prof. would also ask every student a question regarding each discussion topic, so figure on writing at least 8-12 posts per week along with the projects.

YIKES, no doubt about it...the class moves at lightning speed, and it is a LOT of work.:willynilly: Best advice - plan ahead!

Hope this helps!
