Students interested in Capstone Projects in Food and Agriculture should develop a project by using the in-program Individual Learning Contract (ILC) available online through my.evergreen.edu, but only after browsing the Capstone Projects in Food and Agriculture website for models of successful student projects, current opportunities, resource availability/restrictions, and project guidelines. This website also contains examples of how you will can fulfill the expectation to document your project once approved.

A skill you’ll need to learn and use is WordPress to create pages that correspond with your Individual Learning Contract’s learning objectives, activities, and outcomes including:

• a weekly post of your activities with image and text
• a log of your weekly and cumulative hours
• a map of your location(s)
• a Zotero-based bibliography of resources
• multi-media options for videos, podcasts, audio files, slide shows, and photo galleries

You will be provided a site template that includes placeholders for all of the above.

For students on or near campus, 4-8 credits may be earned through common work designed to build an intentional learning community, which may include a required weekly group check-in, a weekly lecture or film, and a reading-based seminar. All students will be required to create mid-quarter and final self-evaluations as well as a final presentation.  Appropriate alternatives for the final presentation requirement will be negotiated with students who are off-campus or overseas.
