IRT and CAPS Mtg.- 12/17

11/27/2018

 
'18-'19 Capstone Cohort:

please pick your IRT (Initial Research Topic) from our Pinterest list. We want you to research this topic and develop a three minute presentation around it-- remember, we are not looking for you to do a report; instead think of this as a story. What is a way that you can present factual information without boring your audience? We are not looking for you to make us laugh but instead help us to think about your topic in a unique way.

Also, there will be a meeting on Monday, December 17th in Classroom A to discuss IRT topics, narrowing topic focus and securing placement, and the process of completing the white "Course Withdrawal" forms from the main office.
