Capstones and the Arts: Workshopping the Possibilities

Following the introduction to the set of curriculum design principles for capstone experiences, workshop participants will be facilitated to consider both the design and assessment of their own capstone experience(s) and provided with the opportunity to work through a Capstone Experience Design Template.

If possible, it would be useful for colleagues to bring with them their program learning outcomes (for the relevant program or major).
