This course is required for any student not electing the thesis track. It includes independent study with the guidance of a mentor, and 2-4 lecture hours that will support cohort-level needs across Capstone Projects. Students will critically appraise evidence-based practices that are clinically relevant to the scope of practice in speech-language pathology, identify an area of need, and develop methods to address the need. By final, students will have developed a proposal that summarizes their critical appraisals, identifies a project aim, and details proposed methods for accomplishing this aim.
