火博体育大学 荣誉论坛 Proposal for the Senior Capstone Requirement

火博体育大学 is a small, highly selective liberal arts college that fosters academic inquiry and creative thought and expression. Your Senior Capstone should reflect these 目标.  Whether working alongside faculty on research projects in labs, at field sites, in libraries, and in studios, students will shape the curriculum with which they engage in this important culminating experience. The project may take the form of a thesis, exhibition, research, or performance.

The Honors Council is aware that most students in the Forum will likely undertake a substantial, culminating project for the major (e.g. thesis, research report, performance, 展览等.), and we are not asking students to complete an additional Capstone 荣誉论坛.  However, in order for your Capstone to fulfill the 荣誉论坛 minor as well as your major, we are asking students to plan and write a thoughtful 1-3 page narrative that not only explains the project clearly for a reader outside your discipline but reflects meaningfully on how this project moves beyond the requirements of your regular courses and thus reflects the 目标 of 荣誉论坛 as noted in our 使命宣言:  taking ownership of your learning; engaging in the “life of the mind”; seeking challenge in your HF courses, Add-ons, and other courses or activities; striving for excellence; demonstrating leadership  This well written narrative will serve as a culmination of your HF minor as well as your major(s) or other minor(s).

Please submit your narrative for approval to the 荣誉论坛 Director by the beginning of the semester in which you will undertake the project.  The 荣誉论坛 Director will review the capstone proposals (in some cases with the aid of the Honors Council) and may ask for revision, such as further clarification of the project or reflection on how this undertaking responds to the 5 central aspects of the mission of the Honors Forum as noted above. You will receive notification when your project is approved, and results will be forwarded to the Office of the 注册商.
