WLC 400 - WLC Major Capstone - Spanish
Course Description:
Students work with the instructor and WLC faculty advisors to research, synthesize, write and present their Capstone projects. Students will also complete a Graduation ePortfolio reflecting how each MLO was met. This course is required for all Japanese Language and Culture, and Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures majors.
Reflective Narrative: This course, also taught by Profesora González, is where we performed the majority of the work on our capstone projects. We learned how to give good presentations, how to cite and how to pull together good resources and synthesize them into broader themes, and we finished many of the smaller parts of our capstone in this class. This includes projects such as an annotated bibliography and our abstracts. We also used this time to finish our E-Portfolios such as this one you are reading. This class was largely based on independent work on our own time, which became incredibly convenient when the campus shut down as a response to COVID-19. Though we were unable to hold a traditional Capstone Festival I had been looking forward to, we were guided through this course remotely and with helpful leadership from the WLC Department, especially Profesora González. Overall, this class (and capstone as a whole) led to a great deal of stress, but a helpful stress that motivated us to complete our research in a productive manner.
