Course description:
Students work with the instructor(s) and WLC faculty advisors to research, synthesize, write and present their Capstone projects. Students will also assemble a Graduation ePortfolio reflecting how each MLO was met. This course is required for all Japanese Language and Culture majors and Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures majors. [(Prereq: (SPAN 300 or JAPN 403 with a C- or better) and (Junior or Senior Standing)].
This course, that was taught by Profesora González gave us the opportunity to complete our Capstone project, by guiding us and allowing to use the require material to do so. During this course, we learned about the sources we could use and technological skill to create our presentations, and figure out the proper citation format for each source that was utilize. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet in class the whole semester, due to COVID 19. This means that the material we were required to do was done independently for the majority of the time, and we were not able to have a regular Capstone festival. This class gave me the opportunity to work with my partner in a topic that we both enjoyed and the WLC Department gave us all the support they could in order to create an unforgettable experience.
