CAPSTONE ASSIGNMENT & SHOWCASE

REVISED FOR 2021! In 2021 the Showcase event will be re-imagined as a festival-style with three goals: 1) reduce class time spent on the capstone, 2) increase energy of the event, and 3) introduce flexibility and variety in the presentations. Each Mini-Course will produce and present a single unique group capstone. The format is determined in advance from the list of options below. During the Festival, groups will be scheduled concurrently to enable attendees to browse, engage, and discover. The aim is to conclude Inquiry Immersion Mini-Courses with a dynamic event. We hope you will join us! Please indicate which Capstone you are MOST LIKELY to choose.

A five-page summary of key findings relevant to a specific policy or healthcare issue. Should include sections such as 1) Goals 2) Summary 3) Data 4) Visual Data 5) Context 6) Analysis 7) Discussion 8) Recommendations. For the Showcase presentation, the policy/white paper can be presented in 1:1 encounters or “engagements.” These discussions can utilize brief handouts with discussion points for reference.

A polished three-minute video aimed at engaging a naïve audience with top level facts. Consider this an entry point for the viewer to search and discover more information about the topic which can be accessed through the video. Try to tell a story while providing key pieces of information. This is not a scientific talk transposed to video but instead an accessible and flexible format.

A structured 7-minute contest which presents formal concepts, arguments, and principles under scrutiny in the literature currently which were discussed in the Mini-Course. Using three groups, pro/con/judge, determine a resolution which can convey the current challenges facing researchers in this area. Plan to include questions from the audience.

A classic and challenging format which can be either individually presented or delivered as a group in a five-minute format. No audio-visual aids except chalk (or markers)!

A visually striking summary of the Mini-Course’s main points. Includes sections such as 1) Context 2) Significance 3) Methods 4) Results 5) Conclusions or could be an adapted format.

Provide a brief description of another method of dissemination to be incorporated into the Showcase.
