Capstone, as far as I know, is the term we are now supposed to be using for what used to be called the “experiential component”. So that’s how I was using
it. When the students are actually completing the implementing and final write up (although planning would certainly occur earlier in the program.

Hello all.
Could you please clarify what you mean by capstone in your curriculum? We completed accreditation last October under the current standards and my understanding
is that the new standards would not be active until 2020. The new standards appear to substitute the word “capstone” for the level III doctoral experiential component but we refer to capstone as the research project that meets the current B.8.0. scholarship
standards. We are revamping our line of research courses and plan to change the titles to capstone but from the conversation below this would create confusion and perhaps the appearance of non-compliance. I would appreciate any input or clarification on
this issue. Thank you.
Christine

No, some programs have students finish with some didactic work. It’s just that the B-standards can’t be met through fieldwork experiences. In the OTD, it
may be that the capstone gets completed last, though.
Lorie
To add another layer to this question. Does all didactic coursework need to be completed prior to fieldwork? We are wanting students to participate in fieldwork prior to our research course.

I'm not sure that "prior" is the right word as many programs have some level II FW in the middle of the program, but none of the B standards can be met through FW or capstone.

Patty:
This is correct that all B standards must be completed prior to the capstone. B Standards relate to the didactic portion of the curriculum that are completed prior to fieldwork and capstone.
Patty,
I was under the impression that you could not use activities from the capstone experience to meet B standards as all B standards must be met before the capstone experience.
I may be mistaken and hope to hear from others as well. I am working off of draft three, which states.
The individual 14-week capstone experience must be started on completion of all coursework and Level II fieldwork and completion of preparatory activities.

Hello,
We are finalizing the curriculum for self study and designed the scholarly component to have B.1.6, D.1.8 interact. The design is to have the "evaluate and Implement"
portion of B.1.6 to be carried out, written up, and disseminatedduring the Doctoral experiential. Our Capstone assignments are done early in Semester 4 so the students will have 4 semesters of research classes to prepare,
complete a needs assessment, look at alternatives, design, etc.
Has anyone had experience with this design? I have spoken with Neil and with the New Director, and both are unclear as to the acceptability of this model. Any feedback from
those of you who have gone through accreditation is appreciated.
Thanks,
Patty
