Capstone Reflection
Purpose:
This writing assignment asks you to reflect on your learning and development as a student in the BSHS program and assess your own progress on the Program Student Learning Outcomes associated with your BSHS track (Health Educator or Pre-Professional).
It is important that you address each objective thoroughly and honestly. We welcome constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement, both positive and negative. Your answers will not influence your grade in this or any other Health Science class
All capstone students’ reflections will be reviewed by a panel of BSHS faculty after the semester ends and used to improve the program in the future. Your reflections will be de-identified and shared without your name.
Instructions:
Your reflections should cover the period from when you began pursuing a BSHS degree through the present, not limited to this class only. Please consider all aspects of your classroom and community experiences during your time as a student in the BSHS program. Feel free to get creative in “curating” and demonstrating your learning and professional development as a student.
In your answer, please respond to each numbered learning objective on page 2 and 3 for your track (health educator or pre-professional tracks respectively).
Most students will need at least three pages to thoroughly address the prompts.
Prompts:
- Reflect on your learning and development as a Health Sciences student.
- How have your experiences as a student influenced your plans for the future? Your life now?
- When you think back on your time in the program, which classes were most helpful in your learning? What experiences and assignments helped you grow?
- What do you plan to do after graduating? Has the BSHS program helped prepare you for that trajectory?
- Specifically address each of PSLO (see page 2 and 3). As a soon-to-be graduate, do you feel able to do each of those things?
