Class Notes

In this course, students will work on talking, thinking, and writing about their capstone project. The course begins with lectures on the different facets of research projects and the goals of research. The second half of the class begins with students presenting their capstone project. The remainder of the second half is spent working on an introduction and methods section for your capstone. The student writings are reviewed in class, allowing everyone the opportunity to give and receive feedback on their project and writing and sharpen their critical thinking and research skills. The quarter ends with a final presentation of their capstone projects. Capstone mentors are invited to attend these final presentations.
