Questions about Capstone

[suzycupcake]

I start my Capstone class on Monday & I'm a bit nervous because of all the work I hear it involves. I've already told myself I'm giving up my entire summer to get this course done. I'm taking Cornerstone too but it looks like the workload isn't as tough so I'm not too worried.

Anyway, my questions for Capstone are:

Is there a textbook required? If so how much is it? I think I found the answer to this one.
For your research paper, are you allowed to choose your own topic or do you have to choose from a list of pre-approved topics? 
How many pages is the final paper?

ETA:

I came across an old syllabus that might have answer some of my questions. It's from 2019 so it might be out of date.

Anyone who recently took Capstone please share your experience.

Congrats to have made it so far and good luck on the Capstone!  I took mine with Dr Hansen and she was awesome!  I hate writing and felt the dread the minute I signed up. (I also did the SOS-101 or 110 whatever it was called at the time, during this same time). You are doing your papers in chunks over each week so it doesn't seem as daunting as when you hear someone say it's a giant sized amount. Mine was on Childhood Obesity in the US and it was 35 pages. I found the hardest part was putting all the pieces together and not sounding repetitive but there was no way around it. We also had to do a presentation in our class. Not sure if that is still a requirement.

You'll do great!  Best of luck!
