Title of the Paper

This is your introduction. It only needs to be a paragraph or two. You are introducing the idea of a retrospective paper.

Program Outcome One

Begin your first topic here. Do not hit return or enter at the end of any sentence. Only use the return or enter key at the end of a paragraph. For this paper, you are writing to explain how you have mastered each program outcome and how this experience has contributed to your overall life’s work. For each program outcome, begin by naming the program outcome. Then use your capstone artifacts (refer to them by name, course number, and module) to provide concrete examples of these milestone moments in a well-developed, clear, and thorough rationale paragraph. For each outcome consider the following (but do not include these prompts!). In what ways do your artifacts support mastery of the program outcome? How do your artifacts provide evidence of competency in this area? Are any gaps evident?

Program Outcome Two

Begin writing about your next outcome here. Follow the same directions used for Program Outcome One. The number of outcomes will depend on your program, but the format for each one should be the same.

How has this program helped you in your personal growth? How will your competency in the program outcome enhance your professional work?

After your conclusion, go to the Reference page. Samples are provided for various types of sources. Be sure you remove the examples and replace them with your own references.
