Capstone Assignments

To ensure your project stays on track, we have created a series of assignments that need to be submitted to successfully complete your Project.

Major Milestone Assignments

The Milestone assignments are the assignments that are required to be completed before you can continue onto the next phase of your capstone project. A brief description of these Assignments are listed below, in chronological order and categorized in three Phases: Prepare, Propose, and Present.

Prepare

Capstone Authorization Packet

Before you start your Capstone, you need to complete the Capstone Authorization Packet.

Through these forms and written document, you identify your Capstone Mentor and Chair, and review your responsibilities and the responsibilities of your Mentor and Chair. If you are changing MHA advisors, this packet is used to inform your first-year advisor that you are switching to a different advisor. The Scope of Work document, which you write with input from your mentor, outlines the scope of the proposed project. Your Capstone chair will review this document to ensure that the project meets the requirements of the MHA program.

Once you have completed the Capstone Authorization Packet, you can then register for capstone.

Begin your Project

Once you have completed the Authorization Packet, you can start learning the methods for your project and collect preliminary data.

If you are on the Alternate Timeline, you will need to fill out the Alternate Timeline Worksheet

Propose

In the Propose Phase, you work on the Capstone Proposal and collect data. A key part of the Proposal is to formulate your hypothesis and describe your specific aims.

The Major Milestone items in the Propose phase are:

  • Outline the Capstone Proposal
  • Draft the Capstone Proposal
  • Submit the final Capstone Proposal

Present

In the Present Phase of your capstone, you work on finalizing your data collection and presenting your work. When you finish these assignments, you have completed your Capstone. The major milestone assignments for this phase are

  1. The Capstone Presentation
  2. The Capstone Report
  3. The Digital Assets Assignments

The full List of Required Assignments are found on your selected Canvas Site.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
