Capstone Portfolio

Catalog description

This course is an independent study in which English majors are expected to demonstrate maturity as readers, writers and researchers. The Capstone Portfolio is comprised of three areas: (1) a collection of a student’s written English coursework, (2) a lengthy reflective essay and (3) a public oral presentation that addresses the student’s progress as a reader, writer and researcher by drawing on and synthesizing evidence from the student’s own work and supporting secondary research. In preparing the Capstone Portfolio, students are invited to arrange for consultation with individual members of the English faculty. Students who major in English are required to complete either this course or ENG 498 Capstone Essay in their final year of study.
