I failed Lib-495 - Yikes!

[WALLACEMC11]

I'll make this quick. I just failed Lib-495 with Prof. Michele Herrera. 

First off, I'm not a smart student at all and I'm not mentally well. An assignment that would take most students 4 hours to complete would take me around 12+ hours. My mentor was actually great! She wasn't helpful in regard to the assignments, but she was super nice. 

Where I went wrong....

I registered for another class along with the capstone. The course load was way too much for me. As others on this forum have suggested, I would take the capstone by itself if at all possible. I failed the capstone because I turned my final assignments in exactly 22 hours after the "deadline". My mentor refuses to accept them, as I assume she's already sent off the grades... I probably won't finish my bachelor's degree because of this failure, but hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes. 

The class itself is not hard, it's just extremely time consuming. I spent over 30 hours on my capstone project, which was intense. For those taking the class in the future, I would suggest getting your work done early and taking the course by itself. 

Good luck!
