Luckily, I am a skilled technical writer, and managed to complete the capstone with a 75 by only turning in 52% of the coursework. But I would not do it that way again, and that is likely beyond the pale for most people anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed the capstone otherwise and honestly wish I'd done all of it.
I was going to ask you what happened with the C in the Capstone, but I guess you didn't turn in all of the work, which was pretty risky since you need a 73% to pass or you have to retake it.
With TESU courses, you know 100% of what is required the moment you start the course. So you can work ahead. TESU will allow you to turn in papers late, so always turn something in, and if you ask ahead of time, they will often give you extra time to turn in assignments without a late penalty.
I was writing papers at the rate of 500 words per hour, so about 2 hours per Capstone paper + 1 hour for the book reading.
I usually advise people to work 20hrs a week on their studies. This pace will often allow someone to earn a degree in 6-12 months without burning out.
We all make some mistakes through the process of earning our degrees, so don't kick yourself too hard.
Thanks for sharing and congrats on your degree!
