Purdue Global BSIT internship instead of capstone?

[dfrecore]

We already know this internship requires Weekly Journal Entries, Linkedin Profile, Research Project, Supervisor Evaluations, Student Evaluations.

Once you're at a sufficiently large company, you probably have to do all those things.

Weekly Journal Entries: My daily standup threads, plus some of the JIRA ticket descriptions would be great starting points.
Linkedin Profile: I already have one.
Research project: I regularly lead the scoping and implementation of projects at my current company. I doubt any requirement would be more complex than what I already have to do.
Supervisor evaluations and Student Evaluations: most large companies do this already, we do this semi-annually as well. The docs would probably need a little tweaking, but it's not like I'd have to ask my supervisor to make stuff up. 


I understand the points you're trying to make, both of you. My experiences with universities would lead me to believe this could be a bureaucratic nightmare, and I'd rather just code than deal with advisors and the Dean's office. 

Anyway, once I get officially admitted, I'll shoot an email to my advisor, and update this thread for posterity's sake.

That was my feeling as well that it looks like a bureaucratic nightmare.

Anyway here are the links I found about the program:

They keep repeating the word "course" over and over again.  Sounds like they are replacing one course with another one.

Exactly my point.  It is not some sort of transfer, it's a COURSE, replacing the Capstone COURSE.  That's what I said at the beginning.  And that it MAY be a good fit for someone who would want to go this route instead of the capstone.  

Not sure why you have to argue everything, it makes no sense to tell someone not to bother asking a question or assuming up front that you KNOW something when you may not.

We should be encouraging people to find new and different methods to get their degree, not discouraging them from even trying to find out what something is all about.
