Description:

Senior Seminar offers students the opportunity to reflect on their learning and to share what they have learned with others in the program. The Senior Seminar prepares students for the Senior Project. The purpose of the Senior Seminar is threefold: (1) to provide an opportunity for students to assess their learning; (2) to provide an opportunity for the program to assess its effectiveness; (3) to provide an opportunity through their reflections for students to share their experiences with others. The primary activity of the Senior Seminar is a portfolio review and assessment. Students will gather their work from their courses into a portfolio and write a narrative that will suggest the objectives they have reached and how they have reached them through a combination of courses and experiences. They will also use the Senior Seminar as a place to propose and justify their Senior Projects as an outgrowth and culmination of their learning. While students will work independently with a mentor from their concentration on the portfolio, all those enrolled in Senior Seminar will meet periodically to discuss common experiences and readings. They will share their portfolios with each other and make a formal presentation of their proposed culminating project. Finally, they will engage in a series of reflections upon the shape and usefulness of the program, which become part of the assessment for the program. Prerequisite: junior or senior standing in the program. 3 Cr
