HD 497 - Capstone

3 Credit(s)
The capstone course requires students to reflect, conceptualize, and clearly communicate what they have learned about human development from their coursework at Pacific Oaks College.  Students will review their Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and the Core competencies to articulate the meaning of their degree. An essential element of this class is to be an active participant in the learning community.      

A core courses portfolio, signature assignment research project, and presentation are the means by which this learning is documented.  Portfolios demonstrate engagement with core course topics to reflect on one's growth and articulate, the themes and theories present in their own human development. The research project demonstrates theoretical understanding of human development within each student's personal and professional context. Portfolios will be reviewed and evaluated by the course instructor. Assessment is based on the PLO master rubric.   Prerequisite(s): HD 300 HD 341 HD 361 HD 335  and HD 459
