Capstone Seminar/Seminario Final

Catalog description

This course serves as the final English for Academic Purposes course in the BUSCA program. It is intended to guide fourth-semester BUSCA students in their understanding of undergraduate university requirements and expectations and to refine the students' proficiency with the English language. Special emphasis is placed on continuing to develop the students' English language communication skills, persuasive writing, oral argumentation, critical reading, and facility with conducting academic research. The BSCA 250 students sharpen their skills through the analysis of provocative contemporary issues and through authentic language practice, such as debates, interviews, role plays, oral reports, presentations, essays, and a research paper. Students must earn a 'C' or higher in BSCA 250 to earn an Associate Degree and continue their studies in a bachelor's degree program at La Salle.
