CAPSTONE TOPICS HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE AND
WRITE AN OUTSTANDING PAPER
2

• Capstone project writing is a chance for you to
  demonstrate your advanced knowledge of the field
  of study in which you have invested more than a
  year.

3

• For a lot of students, a capstone project seems
  as a challenging task, but its not so difficult.
  The first thing you need to do is to pick an
  interesting and valuable topic. For this, read
  the following tips.

4

• Brainstorm ideas
• Allow a bit of time to think about what courses
  and classes were the most exciting for you. Think
  whether there are some topics you want to learn
  more. Create a list of ideas which seem the most
  perspective and interesting to explore.

5

• Review literature
• Find the latest research concerning ideas from
  your list and define the most promising from
  them. Could you contribute somehow with your
  project? Delete those senior capstone project
  ideas which are too limited or go beyond your
  academic interest as well as major.

6

• Narrow your focus
• Pick one topic which is the most interesting for
  you and write down a list of questions for
  possible research and exploration. Keep your
  focus narrow (instead of deciding to write about
  The Reformation, choose some aspects of it and
  explore them).

7

• It's time for a consultation
• Dont start writing without consulting with your
  adviser. He/she can tell you what topics
  weaknesses are, redirect you if necessary, and
  advise some literature which can help in your
  research. Besides, being approved by your advisor
  is a sign your topic is great.

8

• Choose the most interesting one
• Without being passionate about a chosen topic,
  youll never get enough motivation and a desire
  to work on it. So, pick the one which will catch
  your attention as well as your adviser and the
  academic community.

9

• The topic should contain a problem
• It must be a real problem so you will offer your
  solutions supported by firm theoretical arguments
  and empirical findings. As an alternative, use my

10

• Capstone topic must be manageable
• All resources, facilities and other crucial
  factors for research must be easily available.
  You shouldnt be limited because youll get poor
  results.

11

• Too out-there topic is not a good idea
• You dont need to select a capstone topic that
  presents the latest trend in your field of study.
  Pick the one which will hook your readers as well
  as you as a researcher.

12

• Define topics strengths and weaknesses
• There is no guarantee your chosen topic doesnt
  have any weaknesses. Thats why come up with
  several capstone topics and assist with your
  advisor which one is the most winning.

13

• Choose a broad topic first
• When you read literature and previous research
  concerning quite a broad subject, its easier to
  narrow it down. More you read, more ideas youll
  come up.

14

• Use different materials
• Materials from your previous research, notes,
  essays, your advisors tips, materials from
  libraries and online databases use all these
  sources as well as own knowledge youve got
  during studying for finding the best capstone
  project ideas and developing your topic.

15

• Write a proposal
• Its not necessary but it will definitely help
  you to understand what youre going to write. In
  a proposal define a concrete problem, come up
  with solutions, and offer ways to evaluate and
  analyze them.

16

• If troubles happen
• If you find out that another researcher has
  already written a work with a topic very similar
  to yours, dont panic. Thoroughly read this
  project and find out what its main focus and the
  most important findings. Define whether you can
  approach this topic from an absolutely different
  perspective or how you can develop it.

17

• Dont be afraid to spend a lot of time
• If you searching for a good capstone topic takes
  a lot of time and efforts, dont even think it is
  wasted time. Thorough investigation and patience
  are highly important in choosing the best nursing
  capstone projects ideas.

18

• Read more and more
• Having a specific topic, you should dig into
  relevant sources and current research. You have
  to learn more about the historical background of
  your topic as well as what other authors have
  contributed to it.

19

• Start writing your capstone project
• Make a schedule, draw up an outline, keep in
  touch with your advisor and keep working on your
  paper.
• More helpful information you will find in this
  Google book.
