What is the Fall CARE 3 (3-credit) capstone course like?
FAS/SOC 497/498 – Leadership and Policy for Social Change (3 credits) is designed to challenge students to integrate their summer research project experiences with previously presented and additional leadership theory and to move from critical reflection on the personal and interpersonal dimensions of leadership to critical reflection on the public policy dimension of leadership. In order to do this, students prepare a multi-component portfolio of written pieces that focus on social problem definition, problem analysis, policy formulation, and needed leadership to facilitate changes in social and political systems. The class format includes student presentations and encourages vigorous discussion. Students also receive regular feedback on their writing and participation.
