- Class Description:
- This zero-credit capstone preparatory workshop is designed for MPP students in the Global Policy Area, and in economic and community development (international) and any other MPP and MPA students at the Humphrey School who want to undertake a Spring 2015 Capstone project with with an international or global perspective. This zero-credit Fall semester preparatory workshop will allow students to learn about all Global and MDP projects that will be available for completion in the Spring 2016 term through the 3-credit PA 8081 Section 8 and 9 Capstone Workshop in Global Public Policy or through the MDP Capstone class. In this Fall workshop, students and faculty advisors will meet to discuss available projects, assess skills and interests, and form teams for the projects. Students will begin to work with clients, including negotiating detailed terms of reference and a final Memorandum of Understanding for the project. This capstone may include projects that would allow or require students who choose the project to travel in the US or abroad at their own expense. Depending upon project structure, students may begin preliminary capstone work for the client in latter half of 2015. Generally, the bulk of the work is done during the Spring semester, with students presenting their final product in a formal presentation to the client in April or May. A capstone course is a culminating experience - a course designed to provide opportunities for students to integrate knowledge from their core, concentration, and elective courses, to gain insight into the meanings of professionalism and professional practice, and to reflect on the norms of a discipline or profession. At the Humphrey School, capstones have been designed to give students exposure to the policy process through projects and other assignments with emphases on integrating aspects of research or analysis, policy-making, management, science and technology. Students learn by practicing skills learned in this and other courses, through feedback from clients or partners, and from reflection on their experiences. This course is designed to help students learn in five domains of professional work: Empirical, methodological, theoretical, interpersonal, and ethical. You will gain empirical knowledge and perhaps new facts about the challenges of international and/or institutional development. Students will practice different methodologies to produce policy relevant information. The GPA capstone workshop mostly will be self-taught in that students will learn by listening, doing (action), practice and reflection. The professor will provide guidance and serve as an advisor or coach. The client also will provide useful feedback and constructive criticism. Students will be provided some reading materials that may help them with certain tasks. As a team we will review and critique written work and practice presentations. In addition to scheduled class sessions, students will meet independently in teams to discuss work assignments and to collaborate on tasks.
