There are six goals delineated for the capstone experience which include Communication, Critical and Integrative Thinking, Information Literacy, Global Citizenship, Quantitative Reasoning, and Artistic Understanding and Expression. These learning goals aim to assess the cumulative learning experience of the student acquired throughout their four years of baccalaureate education at Adelphi. This course is not designed to teach these skills, although some may overlap with the course’s goals and objectives. A sample of students’ performance in this course will be assessed by the General Education Assessment Committee. As such, students are expected to submit two copies of all their assignments related to the final project (an electronic and a hard copy of assignment). The committee’s assessment will not affect student’s grade in the course.Capstone Goals for the Advanced Topics Course This course will emphasize four of the six capstone goals which include:Goal Assignment(s)Communication PresentationsCritical and Integrative Thinking Reaction PapersInformation Literacy Research PaperGlobal Citizenship Cultural Competent Cohort Application *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
