The Senior Level Field Experience Course: Changing All of that Theory

• In Event: Capturing the Senior Experience: Responsive Capstone Courses Promote Stability through the Recognition for Change

Abstract

The sixth panelist discusses her experiences teaching capstone courses in the classroom and in the world. Based on a review of the literature, collegial and student interviews, and firsthand experiences, the presenter addresses the principles and practices of the senior field experience course in making theory "come alive" through the actions and imaginations of undergraduate students. Student learning outcomes, assignments, and assessment activities will be discussed. Examples of student work and an annotated bibliography will be included in the handouts provided.
