Master of Education: Educational Policy Studies Final Capping Papers
The Educational Policy Studies Capping Exercise (EDPS 900) is a *3 CR/N course. The purposes of the capping exercise are to demonstrate skills of inquiry, reflection, and critique and to reflect on learning from the graduate experience. The capping exercise is a research inquiry that may fall into one of the following categories: 1) analysis of a work-based problem; 2) critical literature review; 3) scholarly paper; 4) development of professional or organizational resources; or 5) evaluation of a program and/or policy. The capping exercise is to be an original, individually-produced product distinct from the products of other courses completed in a student’s graduate program.
