That was fun
Comments Off Yesterday afternoon I joined two other alumni to talk to the current Capstone class. There are only 7 of them this go around and they’ll be in two sets this semester.
It was comfortable walking back in the School of Ed building and I got winded on the stairs as usual. I always forget that it’s like climbing a mountain to get to the fourth floor. I think somewhere around the second floor the building slides a couple extra flights in there just to be funny.
It was great to hear the stories of the other two alumni and how they worked through their projects…when you are experiencing the project and the class you tend to say the appropriate things. When you’ve been out for one or two years as we were, you are a little more candid. No matter the struggles we experienced we were overwhelmingly positive about the learning experience.
The Capstone class was one of the most difficult because it wasn’t just about the school work. It was about working as a team, working with a client and producing a product and presentation all in 15 weeks. The class pushes you. It’s the perfect wrap-up for the program. It’s like the last lap in a foot race. You think you are going to blow out your knee and your lungs are on fire, but then you cross the finish line and you kind of want to start all over again.
