PrintUnit 3: Engaging Directly with Real-World Challenges
Nolet (2016) describes the goal of our entire Capstone experience rather nicely:
"Engage directly with real-world problems and challenges that enable [students] to apply theory in authentic contexts and to develop habits of thinking and dispositions to act on behalf of sustainability goals."
- Consider whether this experience is challenging your thinking differently than a traditional research paper project might have. If it is, how so? (If it isn't, please also indicate that.)
- Discuss how your engagement with your Community Partner and other relevant actors is shaping your original thinking about your Capstone topic.
Your submission should be
- supported in literature mentioned above and additional relevant sources if applicable
- well-written and thoroughly proofread for grammatical errors
- approximately 500-750 words
