Need help with capstone project
The Capstone Seminar is a graduate seminar in which students utilize the knowledge
and skills gained through the degree program to create a culminating work that
critically addresses a problem in their degree field of study. The students produce a
Capstone of 7000-8000 words that presents a position on a relevant problem, supports
the position with professional and academic literature, analyzes and tests the proposed
solution, and discusses the findings as related to the field of study. The seminar is
dependent upon quality, collegial discussion, and feedback of students’ research and
work products, under the facilitation of a faculty member. The course structure guides
the students through the process of independent, secondary research and writing of a
Capstone. No primary research is allowed. Students generate the course content
through ongoing discussion and peer feedback on the Capstone process and individual
topic areas under investigation. Students professionally and academically communicate
through written work and oral presentation. Students must have: Acceptance as a
degree candidate, completion of at least 40 quarter-hours (including all core courses)
with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. A final grade of B- or better is required in this
course to meet degree requirements. Students must complete the Capstone Seminar in
one quarter; no incomplete grades are assigned.
