6-1 Final Project Milestone Three: Personal Reflection

SPT 461 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric Overview: You will complete a capstone that integrates the knowledge and skills you have developed throughout the Bachelor of Science in Sport Management program by creating a portfolio presentation, professional resume and cover letter, and reflection. Prompt: This milestone will help you complete one of the three final project components. For the third and final component of your capstone, you will write an essay in which you discuss the process and outcomes of this project, as well as how your coursework cumulated in the capstone project. This may include discussions of unforeseen problems or obstacles, as well as any unexpected surprises. The essay should also discuss the identified strengths and problems that you encountered while completing the project. Finally, the essay will examine how the capstone project will be useful in the job market or furthering your education. You should envision this component as a personal reflection on the capstone and your experience in the Bachelor of Science in Sport Management program as a whole. For instance, relative to the capstone, you could discuss what you did (or intended to do), and then consider what worked well, what challenges you faced, and what you would change or do differently to make your experience better. In reflecting on your time here at SNHU, you might discuss where you started, where you are now, and where you see yourself going. Note that this component is not about evaluating the capstone itself but rather your experience within the capstone project. Some of the issues that you should address in this final component of this capstone include:

 Overall, what was your capstone experience like? How would you reflect on the significance of the capstone in relation to your own experience at SNHU?

 What connections do you see between your capstone and your academic program?

 Can you discuss the process and outcomes of this project, as well as how your coursework cumulated in the capstone project?

 Can you discuss the identified strengths and problems that you encountered while completing the project?

 How was the capstone project useful in the job market or furthering your education?

 How will you apply what you have learned to your future academic and/or professional life?

 How will you manage difficult situations or dilemmas in the workplace based on what you have learned?

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: You should compose a 3- to 5-page reflection to explain how you plan to position yourself professionally after completion of the program.
