Individual Student Journal

Capstone

This assignment gives students the opportunity to write a personal journal of individual project activity (on a weekly basis) as well as summarize monthly individual contribution to their team’s project. If students use this assignment to describe challenges, it may actually help them to problem solve. Keeping track of their time will eventually help them to estimate time it will take them to do future tasks.

This assignment is completed throughout the semester via the course website.
