TESU Capstone Course - difficulty rating

[Dorothy44]

I will be taking the Capstone Course later this year.

For those of you who have taken it, how would you rate its difficulty?

From the syllabus, it seems that it has the longest essay paper out of all TESU courses that I have taken so far.

It seems to me that there are (several discussion posts) + four assignments that all help and lead up to the final paper on a chosen topic.
I think the entire course just leads up to completing the final paper. This may be incorrect since I have not taken it.

Based on the syllabus, it does not seem difficult, just seems lengthy.

Any pointers?

My two sons are taking it starting in June.  From what I have read here, it is quite time consuming.  It is possible to do another course at the same time, but it should be an easier course. There is a big midterm exam that is a bit to worry about from what I read. You have a textbook that you have to read that includes case studies for many businesses.  Most weeks the reading is around 20 pages, but they are supposed to be interesting.  There are also online discussion questions that are supposed to be a bit detailed too.  Not just your regular discussion questions.  I think the choice of a thesis is part of what makes things difficult.  You want to find something that has enough information already available, or you will have to create surveys, etc. to prove your point.
