Resumen de Capstone: why it Didn't Work for Us
Saint Joseph's University, a small comprehensive university, implemented a one-credit capstone project for the mathematics major beginning in 2002. After expansion to three credits in 2007, the capstone, although successful, had unintended consequences. In 2010, for both programmatic and practical reasons, the department decided to remove the course from the program. This article describes that process and explains how the department met its program objectives through other means.
