The three possible capstone projects I might choose to do are:

1) Create a website with a database for a business of choice.

2) Create a mobile application. 

3) A case study of a software engineering subject.

Part 3:

I learned a multitude of interesting topics this week. First of all, when it comes to internships and graduate school I am on the fence. An internship is promising, but it does require a large amount of your time. I would ideally want to engage in a lighter-work internship with few hours that I can do in my spare time. As for graduate school, I don't know if I quite want to apply. I think if I research more into certain graduate programs that I might like, I will go down that route. As for now, I am focusing on my Bachelor's and getting that accomplished. 

I also learned about fallacies and loaded words. I wrote my discussion post on the Red Herring fallacy and it was interesting to see how many people use that fallacy in arguments. Especially in politics. My eyes were opened to what I should now be aware of in my essay and to not fall into a fallacy trap. Also, the loaded words were interesting to be aware of as well. Some of these include : "betray", "pest", "flinched" and more. I need to make sure to not use these in my essay. 

An update is that I am planning on doing the Self-Development Book Review. The book I chose was so interesting to read so far that I decided it was worth a shot.
