I failed Lib-495 - Yikes!

Would they have to do an entirely new project? If they have to retake the course, surely they would be allowed to used the old paper.

AFAIK, the capstone doesn't just consist of a single paper? You use the other assignments to build your paper, I think. If that's the case, you couldn't resubmit those other assignments because of academic plagiarism. You then couldn't submit the same paper based off of those assignments. So, yes, I could be wrong but I think that an entirely new project would be required.

Maybe so. I know at COSC for the English concentration you write a single paper. The other assignments are submitting a paper proposal, getting feedback, re-submitting drafts, etc. but it is one paper, you’re just doing chunks each week.

I don’t know for sure how the plagiarism checks would affect this situation. Definitely find out for sure, OP. You may save yourself a lot of work.
