MAIS 700 Capstone Course, will provide students with an alternative way to complete their MA-IS studies. MAIS 700 is a grouped study reflection on the way the student's understanding and practice of interdisciplinarity has developed throughout the course of their MA-IS studies. Rather than the one-on-one focus of MAIS 701, in which students work singly with a supervisor, MAIS 700 will allow students to interact with and receive feedback from their peers, and to hear about others’ experience of their paths through MA-IS.
The main elements for the course will be the following::
In their final papers, students will be encouraged to explore integration and interdisciplinarity in relation to topics in their areas of special interest and experience.
As a capstone course, MAIS 700 will provide a new kind of opportunity to reflect on student's intellectual development and on how their thinking and understanding have developed throughout their MA-IS studies.
Before commencing MAIS 700, the completion of both core courses is required, as well as completion of all the courses to be applied toward your focus area(s), and your electives as outlined in your study plan.
