Pros vs Cons to taking Capstone over winter break?

[suzycupcake]

Hello all!

My big "master plan" was to do SOS-110 from Oct-Dec and the Capstone from Nov-Jan.  I'm registered for SOS-110 but not for the Capstone yet.

Before I do that, I'd like to get your advice - what do you think some of the pros and cons might be to doing this over winter break? I have a lot of time off from work in Nov and Dec so I was thinking this would be great to get things done but not sure if there are other factors I need to consider.

Thanks in advance!

I did my capstone in November term last year, and it kind of sucked. They do move some stuff around to avoid having assignments or posts due on the holiday dates themselves, but it made my holiday travels a bit challenging.

In my case, I worked ahead as much as I could so I was way ahead on my paper writing by the time the actual holidays approached (so I wasn't stuck writing papers while traveling to visit relatives), but there were still forum posts and replies that had to be made, etc.

I don't recommend it unless the winter holidays just mean time off for you. That is how things used to be for me until I had my daughter, now they are all about comings and goings of relatives.

So glad I asked this question because it's bringing up all kinds of questions for me now - thank you Merlin for your input also!
