EDUINDP 789 Planning For Change II: Capstone Proposal Seminar
The purpose of this seminar is to provide the master’s student with faculty and peer support as the student grounds, implements, refines, assesses and reports his or her capstone project. The capstone project is a self-selected and defined project completed with advisor assistance, that makes a connection between the graduate study and the student’s professional life as an educator.
This is the most current form that will be reviewed by the CCC on October 9th.

What is our plan for students completing the M.S.-C&I program after this change is implemented? Their programs, which remain in effect, require three units of this course. Will these students also enroll in the second of two Capstone Advising courses? Or should they be advised to enroll in a regular Individual Studies course for one credit? Also, given the number of students still in the M.S.-C&I pipeline, should there be five prerequisites? That might result in many, many overrides. Plus, having even five prerequisites doesn’t convey that we really want this course to be the last course in students’ programs. Instead of having multiple prerequisites, would it be better to say “Departmental Consent Required” instead, and give each student permission to enroll on a case-by-case basis as is currently done? This necessitates a careful visual review of each person’s transcript prior to enrollment. Or, given that the proposal approval is now a part of one course, should that course be the sole prerequisite for the capstone course?
