How different are capstones from school to school?
#16
For the COSC BSBA capstone, I did weeks of discussion board posts, a small group project. One individual project. Then a final group project.
The first group project was a case study on the failing Sears & Roebuck. (I think there were three companies you could chose to write it on.) It ended up being 12 pages.
The individual project was an analysis of an existing business and then you write recommendations for improvements. (I wrote mine on the company I actually work for. Believe me, I had PLENTY of suggestions for improvement! That was easy!) It ended up being 16 pages.
Then the final group project was basically a complete business plan. It ended up being 22 pages. We made a mock business plan for a doggy daycare/grooming service which we located in a specific neighborhood of Manhattan according to some cursory demographics research.
There were six sections as required by the rubric. We divided up among the five people in my group. (Some groups had four. One group had three.) Since there were six sections and five people, I ended up taking on the extra floating section because somebody had to. In addition, there was one student who turned in something that was so far below what I personally felt to be acceptable material, that I politely re-wrote that almost from scratch as well. Also, there didn't seem to be enough peer-reviewed sources, so I re-write a few lines to different citations in other sections to cite a different source than wikipedia to hit the requirements. I wanted a 100. We got a 100. It was an incredible feeling of accomplishment. Worth the extra effort.
