What are my goals for my senior year at CC?\n2. What are my goals for the first few years after CC? Do they include graduate school?\n3. What academic and non-academic time commitments do I anticipate in my senior year?\n4. What special skills or training do I have that would I like to draw from for my capstone project?\n5. Given the above and in consultation with my Anthropology advisor, I elect to pursue the following capstone type:\nStep Two: Finding Your Topic (Suggested timeline: work on this in blocks 6 and 7 of junior year)\n1. Brainstorm potential topics for your capstone project, based on your personal interests. What topics or questions are you most interested in from class?  What has sparked a passion/curiosity for you?\n2. Narrow those topics to 2 - 3 that encompass what you’re MOST interested in pursuing and discussing with your potential capstone project advisor(s).\n3. Reflect on your potential topics.\nPotential Topic 1:\nWhat is interesting about this topic, in general?\nHow did I become aware of this topic?\nWhy does this topic interest me?\nWho else cares about this topic?  Who else has written about this topic?\nWhy should people care about this topic?\nPotential Topic 2:\nWhat is interesting about this topic, in general?\nHow did I become aware of this topic?\nWhy does this topic interest me?\nWho else cares about this topic?  Who else has written about this topic?\nWhy should people care about this topic?\nPotential Topic 3:\nWhat is interesting about this topic, in general?\nHow did I become aware of this topic?\nWhy does this topic interest me?\nWho else cares about this topic?  Who else has written about this topic?\nWhy should people care about this topic?\nStep Three: Identifying Potential Capstone Advisors\n1. Given their research expertise, which of the anthropology faculty might be a good fit for advising your capstone research topics?\nTopic 1:\nTopic 2:\nTopic 3:\n2. Next, factor in other considerations. Maybe some faculty will be on sabbatical during the upcoming academic year, others have a communication style that is similar to yours, or you have worked successfully with certain faculty on past projects. Rank the faculty in terms of their appropriateness for advising your possible capstone topics:\n1.\n2.\n3.\n4.\nSchedule an appointment to discuss your research topics with the advisor that you identified as being the most appropriate. Bring your 2 – 3 research topics to that meeting and discuss your ideas. If it doesn’t seem like a good advising “fit,” schedule meetings with the next faculty member on your list. Even if a faculty member may seem like an excellent choice for your project from your perspective, be prepared that you may be assigned another advisor as the department may need to adjust capstone advising workloads based on other constraints.\n3. Finally, decide on the topic that you want to work with and the specific question that you want to answer:","cbCaia4oKbn311KE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia4oKbn311KE","docx",20062,"English","# Step One: Capstone Project Format Selection\n## Goals and Commitments\n## Skills and Training\n## Choosing Capstone Type\n# Step Two: Finding Your Topic\n## Suggested Timeline\n## Brainstorming and Narrowing Topics\n## Reflecting on Potential Topics\n# Step Three: Identifying Potential Capstone Advisors\n## Selecting Faculty by Research Fit\n## Ranking Advisors and Scheduling Meetings\n## Finalizing the Research Topic and Question","[{\"question\":\"How do I choose the right capstone project format?\",\"answer\":\"Start by defining goals for your senior year and the years after CC, including whether graduate school is planned.
