Please help! Simple UTA Capstone question

My friend just started the Capstone and we're both extremely confused about the weekly reflective journal. She and I both read through the entire course, all instructions, the rubric, etc. She emailed her coach for clarification as to the three key points and where they are supposed to come from, and the coach's response didn't help at all. What I'm understanding is that every assignment in this course is over one topic (the chosen capstone topic), and the three key points for the reflective journal should come from her research on her selected topic... is that correct? The coach told her the key points should come from module assignments, but the only assignments appear to be the readings (which are basically just researching your topic, correct???), as well as the journal and capstone assignment itself. We're just trying to understand where these key points are supposed to come from since there's really no course content other than independently researching the selected capstone topic. Hope that made sense, and I appreciate any advice you may be able to offer!

    Also, just to clarify... I'm not helping her with the course, she just had me read the instructions to see if a second set of eyes would help. None of us can make any sense of it, and I feel like I'm extrapolating/guessing by telling her that I think that's what the instructions mean. She's been working at this for a long time and is really worried that she will have to repeat the capstone, which would be devastating due to her circumstances at the moment.

    Not sure if this helps, but you were correct in your thoughts that the key points should come from your module assignments even if they are only reading. For example, these are the first few sentences of some key points for module 1 and 2 - these are not my full answers - each key point was around 250 words long because you have to use the criteria from the rubric to round everything out..(I hope this is not perceived as cheating, I just wanted to give you an idea)...

    Module 1

    Key Point 1...The older I get the more I tend to take a step back. After taking the various assigned self-assessments, I can really see how my outlook and attitude have changed over the years. Particularly in the Temperament self-assessment...

    Key Point 2...How I feel about myself and my circumstances may not be how others see me. When I took the leadership self-assessment I scored as a guardian, and it gave me cause to stop and really think about how others perceive me....

    Module 2

    Key Point 1...Based on the reading and the assignment, this week, I really reflected on goals overall...

    Key Point 2...This week based on the assignment we had to do, I better understand that although it’s important to try to set a specific path to achieve something we want in life...

    And don't forget that you still have to use APA format in your key point if you refer to something in your answer.

    I hope this helps
