| Sumari: | Capstone courses within undergraduate business degrees are important for learning. However, little is known or understood about the purpose of capstone courses or the best approaches to course design, learning activities and assessment. This is the final report from a project that aimed specifically to gather and disseminate good practice in course design, learning activities and assessment practices for capstone courses. It conducted an audit of capstones in the partner universities, interviewed various stakeholders and surveyed recent graduates. It delivered outcomes that benefit employers of business graduates, university business schools and final year business students. It will be of national benefit in enhancing student employability and assurance of learning. Other than this final report conference papers, workshops and journal articles were produced. The project's main output was a good practice guide about how to structure, teach and assess a capstone course. Overall, the project aimed to enhance student satisfaction and engagement with their business education and provide business with better, more work-ready graduates. |
