Dominican Curriculum 47X: Capstone Research Project

Syllabus

(This is a general education curriculum capstone course which all students at Dominican are required to take.) 

Students will produce a reflective e-portfolio, annotated bibliographies, a persuasive white paper written in such a way that the problem and response are articulated using a multidisciplinary framework, and a classroom lesson to be taught as an interactive case study that also explores how a response might impact diverse peoples and groups. In producing these things, students “close the loop” by which they envision a world in which we take responsibility for these risks and develop and evaluate concrete proposals for doing so.
