Description
Core Course
This course provides students with the opportunity to reflect on the academic, personal, and social development attained through their major, and to integrate the linguistic and cultural knowledge and
skills that they have acquired in their studies with the development of an individually supervised project.
The project must be written in English, Chinese, German, French, Italian, or Spanish. There are two types of Directed Study Capstone. One consists in the composition of a creative reflection on students’
experience in the study of a language and its associated cultures of 3,500 words from an interdisciplinary perspective. The other type is a learning project involving identification of individual learning needs and consultation of the appropriate combination of different tasks to address those needs and achieve mastery with the aim to prepare for the professional life after graduation, which involves preparedness to work in interdisciplinary contexts. The second type also requires an extension of 3,500 words.
Students are required to obtain their supervisor’s approval for their Directed Study project and meet with their supervisor regularly to review its progress. The objective of this course is to prepare students to apply what they have learned through their studies to their professional careers or postgraduate
studies."
