As part of a review of our curriculum I have been trying to find evidence
that "capstone" courses succeed in accomplishing any unique educational
goals or that some types are more valuable than others. Obviously I assume
that a capstone course teaches its subject matter but I am hard pressed to
assume that any of the courses I have seen so labeled are much different
from other advanced courses. I'd be interested both in references and in
people's general thoughts on the matter.
