Two Capstones and Cornerstone in one term? TESU BUS-421, LIB-495, & SOS-110.

[CanICode]

Well after about 3 months of pure focus I am closing in on my goal. I have finished up almost my entire CS degree besides some gen eds and I have a just a few more business classes left. I have 43 classes done. Woot! Now I have to decide how hard it will be to do 2 capstones + the cornerstone in one semester. I will be graduating with:

1. ASNSM in Mathematics
2. BACS in Computer Science
3. BSBA in Finance & Computer Information Systems

I'd like some input from people on taking two capstones at once. Has anyone here done this? How much work was it? My biggest concern is getting a 4.0 on these three classes is non negotiable. I have to accomplish that. Is that doable? How hard are the courses? Is there anything I can do that will improve my chances of finishing everything and not getting snagged up? Anything I should know before I try to do this?

If you did two capstones in one term, you would have some bragging rights since I don't think anyone has done that yet

Tips On How to Get Straight A's

1. Follow the rubric
   
2. Know the APA format
   
3. Study 15-20 hours for the midterm exam
   
4. Pick good professors known for easy grading
   
5. Use Grammarly or something similar
   

If you score too low on the midterm, it becomes mathematically impossible to get straight A's. I got a B on my midterm since I only studied for 7 hours. I should have studied double that, and as a result, I was completely lost on one of the essay questions.

When I started, I was spending 3 hours doing just one discussion forum response. At around the halfway point, I got the responses in under one hour. Usually, professors give 100% points for discussion, so you can save some time there and work on other things.

As far as time is concerned, I would budget 40 hours for the cornerstone and 80 hours for the capstones, give or take 20 hours.

Writing the liberal arts capstone ahead of time can save up to around 20 hours.

Reading the business capstone book ahead of time can save around 10 hours. I wouldn't overdo it, though. Just reading the first four chapters is enough.

If you do make a perfect 4.0, you'll make the President's List, and your name will be published on TESU's website.

Are there any awards a student can earn if they are only taking 3 graded classes at tesu?

Also, all of your tips seem very doable. Thank you.
