Is the final capstone course for the IT, software engineering, or CS major hard?

Can someone with a GED and not much experience writing research papers pass this, after having completed most of the prior classes at Sophia, SDC, and some at WGU? And maybe pass it quickly?

This is the only reason I'm hesitant to try. I've haven't done any courses yet at Sophia, SDC, or at WGU. I don't want to have done all the courses and then be stuck at this one course and can't graduate and it all ends up being a huge waste of time.

I believe I could pass all the other classes for the degree though. For the IT major capstone course I think you have to write 35 pages but I'm not sure. Are you just answering mini questions or responding to small things and that ends up being your paper? Do you have to cite scientific journal articles or can you cite an article from something like tomsguide.com?

I didn't understand the concept of a research paper before I started TESU, but I was able to get through it. Picking a topic you are familiar with helps.

The hardest thing at WGU will be some of the all-or-nothing certification exams, though most of the IT ones aren't too difficult.

The mindset you need to have is that you're going to make it through; it's just a matter of time.

When you face challenges in certain courses, you can:
  • Research the problem on the Internet.
  • See how other people have gotten through the course.
  • Ask peers.
  • Ask your professor.
  • Hire a tutor to guide you through the subject.
The key things to learn in college are consistency, efficiency, and overcoming adversity.

If, god forbid, things don't work out for you at WGU, you can always switch to a different college.

The number one reason why people fail at WGU is that they don't bring in enough transfer credit and are shocked to find that they have a lot of work to do to finish.

I suggest setting yourself a small goal of getting a free Pierpont BOG AAS, which can be done with all Sophia courses. By the time you complete 2-3 courses at Sophia, you'll start to get a feeling of whether you are ready to earn a college degree.

Commit just 10 minutes and start now by taking the first free lesson. Then you can officially consider yourself a college student.
