This Capstone course will assist you with the process of composing and presenting your portfolio. During the course, we will review and analyze Program Outcomes as they relate to your work; draft a persuasive statement and portfolio; review each others' drafts; and review the procedures that will be used to evaluate your portfolio. As graduating seniors, you are expected to work together to collaborate and provide feedback as you complete tasks and draft and complete your portfolios.
This semester we will be using a social network site for the Capstone class, hosted on Ning. You will receive an invitation to join the network at the beginning of the semester. You will post your portfolios for formal evaluation by 2 TC faculty at the end of the semester and for informal review and feedback by other TC faculty and students.

A grade of C or better must be earned in the Capstone course. Portfolios will not be accepted from students earning below a C.
