Also, besides changing the capstone have you read anything about the other courses?
Currently, mentors are not supposed to allow people to sign up for the MBA capstone unless they have at least 8 weeks left in their term. A big part of that is due to the time required to complete the group capsim task and reports. When the group project becomes a solo project, I'd imagine that they may drop the minimum lead time requirement (or maybe reduce it to 4 weeks). But we have no idea of knowing whether the new solo project will be more difficult than the current capsim project or not.
As for other courses, WGU updates courses all the time. Most of the time it isn't a big enough deal to make a note of it. In the old days, it could be a problem since you could activate all your courses on day one, and then you'd be stuck with that version, even if they updated with a better version of the material. Now you can only have one course activated at any time, so it isn't as big of a deal anymore. However, this is one reason why it isn't a good idea to put too much into what you read online about courses. The requirements change all the time, so today's version of the course will likely be different than someone who took it a year or two ago.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
