WRTG 495 Senior Writing Capstone
The capstone project is the semester-long completion of a revised, publishable manuscript (including web-based or digital), as well as a public performance or presentation (such as participation in the Day of Poetry and Prose, the Student Research and Creativity Expo, or an event dedicated to graduating Writing students). For creative writers, the manuscript might include revising and writing poems, stories, essays, or chapters of a novel/memoir, shaping a cohesive project out of the work done in previous semesters, as well as newly generated work. For professional, technical, or rhetorical writers, the manuscript might include revised prior coursework and new writing finalized for publication or presentation, linked with a clear and coherent rationale (specifying topic, purpose, audience, for instance). Any writer may propose a digital project in the place of a written manuscript (such as a multi-episode podcast series, the script and prototype for a video game, or a multimedia website hosting a researched project [video testimonials, scholarly articles, student-written advocacy]).
