course narrative
In WLC 4oo I was under the guidance of Dr. Urioste for my capstone that took place in spring of 2017. In this class I was able to finally put together my capstone into paper and into a presentation. I had the idea of what I was going to focus on because of the class I took, pre-capstone. I was excited because the topic i had chosen was one that I actually liked and was very interested in. It was now the time to put everything we had learned into practice and everything I researched about into paper and in my own words of course. During class time we would dedicate time to our research and also to start creating a rough draft. The librarian came in to give us a workshop about how to perform our research. Dr. Urioste also had Mr. Gus Leonard come in and give us a presentation about how to have a good capstone presentation. Not only was our topic important but our audience was too. We had to have a strategic way of presenting to keep our audience involved and entertained. Dr. Urioste gave us time in class to also work on our e-portfolios and try to have most of it done before the end of the semester. I enjoyed that class because since I had such a busy schedule, I was able to get most of my capstone done in that class. I am really grateful that I had Dr. Urioste there for us to give us time and guide us with patience. This class was a challenge but it was exciting. To me this class was full of emotions because I was finally going to put to practice all my skills academically and professionally. When the capstone festival arrived I was not nervous, because I felt confident in my work and I knew that everything I had learned had stayed in my memory.
