Program Strategy

6c. Revision of the Capstone course to include questions of mission, of liberal arts, and of college vocation.

Evaluation Activities

We will collect three years worth of data from the students in these classes (as well as follow-ups with completers in later years), asking for information on effectiveness and utility of the Capstone class as well as an assessment of the impact of the course on student learning.

Specific Intended Outcomes

This goal will have been met when:

1. The capstone courses at Augustana College are revised to include questions of mission, particularly of the liberal arts.

2. The Faculty Development Committee and the Capstone Committee will stimulate study of senior and new student integrative courses at other liberal arts colleges, with an eye for possible enrichment of Augustana's NSS and Capstone course program.
