Week 5 Discussion
Capstone Presentation
In this week’s Discussion, you have the opportunity to develop and share your Capstone Presentation with your classmates in small groups. This task facilitates your learning about how to disseminate information in presentation form. The ability to do this well is important for gaining the knowledge, skill, and confidence needed to present your research and ideas to colleagues, at conferences, and to potential stakeholders when applying for grant money. In addition, learning how to give and receive feedback is important. Receiving peer feedback helps you learn how to strengthen your writing and presentation skills by taking into account the responses of actual and anticipated readers. Giving peer feedback helps you to refine your critical-thinking skills as well as your communication skills.
