The book covers the design, administration, and teaching of capstone courses throughout the undergraduate curriculum, guiding departments seeking to add a capstone course, and allowing those who have one to compare it to others in the discipline. The ideas presented in the book are supported by regional and national surveys that help the reader understand what's common, what's exceptional, what works, and what doesn't within capstone courses. The authors also provide additional information specific to different departments across the curriculum, including STEM, social sciences, humanities, fine arts, education, and professional programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdentified as a high-impact practice by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Association of American Colleges and Universities' LEAP initiative, capstone courses culminate a student's final college years in a project that integrates and applies what they've learned. The project takes the form of a research paper, a performance, a portfolio, or an exhibit, and is intended to showcase the student's very best work as a graduating senior. This book is a guide to creating for your school or department a capstone course that ties together undergraduate learning in a way that enriches the student and adds value to the college experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand what makes capstone courses valuable for graduating students\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover the factors that make a capstone course effective, and compare existing programs, both within academic disciplines and across institutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn administrative and pedagogical techniques that increase the course's success\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamine discipline-specific considerations for design, administration, and instruction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCapstones are generally offered in departmental programs, but are becoming increasingly common in general education as well.
