Capstone I

Catalog description

This course is required for any student electing the Capstone Track. It includes independent study with the guidance of a mentor and lectures that supports cohort-level needs across Capstone projects. Students will critically appraise evidence-based practices that are clinically relevant to the scope of practice in speech-language pathology, identify an area of need, and develop methods to address the need in the form of a research or service-learning project. At the end of the quarter, students will have developed a proposal that summarizes their critical appraisals of evidence, justifies the need for the project, identifies a project aim, and describes proposed methods for accomplishing this aim.
