COURSE NARRATIVE
The WLC 400 class fulfilled MLO 1 and 6. This class provided me helpful tools to develop the Capstone project. For this class we had two professor Dr. Christine Fernandez and Dr.Yoshiko Saito-Abbott. Most of the time, the Spanish major worked with Dr. Fernandez and the Japanese major with Dr. Yoshiko Saito-Abbott. In WLC 400, I was able to learn about how to search and synthesize information (WLC 400: Synthesizing Information Table), and the different ways of using technology for my Capstone project. Dr. Fernández helped us to develop our research questions, titles, outlines, abstracts, etc. Also, she gave us feedback about our writings which was really helpful to correct our grammar errors. I also learned a lot about research and how I can search for good sources at the CSUMB library in order to write an annotated bibliography. Another important guide to complete our Capstone project was the book The Craft of Research which gave me a lot of good information for my Capstone project. On another hand, I completed a STAMP test which assess my reading, speaking,listening and writing proficiency in Spanish. In addition, I continued building my e-portfolio and adding information to it. We also had small presentations to share our progress in our Capstone project and received feedback from our classmates. To conclude, this class was really helpful because Dr. Fernandez provided us really good information to further developed our Capstone project.
The document at your right is a table that helped my partner and I to synthesize information about my sources used for the Capstone Project.
