What's wrong with Capstone 1/23/13

Capstone is a class required by every RCHS student to take as a senior. It is a class that requires us to do a lot of research and writing to create a project that hasn't already been done. It is just a class that adds extra stress to what we already deal with as a senior in RCHS. On top of the project we are also required to do some other side homework with the final project we are asked to do. This class is overall just overwhelming because you are taking 7-8 other college credit classes and adding this on top of that is just not necessary. I can also remember times when I had to decide between doing my homework or studying for another class or doing capstone hw. Another problem with Capstone is that we are asked to do research and find articles related to our project for a whole semester and then only to figure out that our project didn't get approved at the end of the semester. I feel like it is pointless to add this extra burden and it would save us much more time in general and time to focus on other classes that matter if this was taken of the curriculum.
