in IT Jobs / Degrees
So this is my first and only term at WGU. I have completed 42 CU so far and on my last 7 with tech writing and capstone. I am doing the BS IT Security degree and so far really enjoyed the curriculum (besides KFT1...) My term ends in December and am half way done with my proposal. Does anyone have example capstone papers that they would like to share? Any tips? I'm afraid of how long it should be. Aiming for about 20 pages total. Thanks for any advice. icon7.png

    There's actually several samples in the student resources section. I know seeing samples helped me.

    As far as length goes, it doesn't matter. What matters is you hit every section in the rubric and you explain it well enough.

    Thanks guys. It was hard work. I just finished the Tech Writing. Does anyone know if I am suppose to get my mentor signature on the cover page before submitting? Also, does it have to be the course mentor or student mentor?

    Nice work! I'm currently debating between staying with my MS program at Hawaii Pacific University or moving over to the MSIA program with WGU. Will you be continuing on to the MSIA?

    Thanks guys! @spicy ahi I am thinking about going to hpu as well. The cost for tuition is harsh though. I heard good things about it. Then there is wgu and not having to worry about driving to campus...

    I don't know why they have that on the cover sheet. There is no requirement for you to get anyone's signature.

    Yeah I just found out you don't need any signatures. Well just submitted capstone. Hoping for a first time pass!

    How is Hawaii Pacific? Anyone heard anything about their program? I believe it can be done online as well, yes? I have a distant relative living over there asking about it.

    I am not sure if they are online but I know people that went there for their undergrad. They said it is good. Anyone know how long it takes to grade paper in taskstream? Been waiting three days.

    Capstone passed! I am now a graduate from WGU. Reading swild's thread along with a few others really has helped me out. I would be glad to help anyone with questions. Now that juggling between a full time job and school is over, I now have the time to start giving back to this wonderful community.
