Essential Studies hosts " Capstone Coffee" workshop Essential Studies is hosting a "Capstone Coffee" event from 3 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3, in the Memorial Room of the Union. The workshop purpose is to help faculty and their departments develop courses that will carry the "C" designation. UND undergraduate students will soon need to have ES Capstone courses in place so that they can meet the new requirement (a culminating course that connects their general education work with their work in their major fields). The "Capstone Coffee" is designed to support the course development process. It will include a review of the "C" criteria, an explanation of the validation process, and suggestions for different ways to structure capstone courses. Individual help will be available for faculty who have questions to discuss.
