WLC 400
World Languages and Cultures Major Capstone
Course Description
Students work with the instructor and WLC faculty advisors to research, synthesize, write and present their Capstone projects. Students will also complete a Graduation ePortfolio reflecting how each MLO was met. This course is required for all Japanese Language and Culture, and Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures majors.
In WLC 400, I was introduced on how to create a final project. The work that we did in class prepared us how to write our essay for the project. The way the course was structured, I was able to meet Major Learning Outcome 1, Language Proficiency, and Major Learning Outcome 6, Information technology literacy. My partner and I wrote an abstract and a literature review in the target language. In both of these, my partner and I used logical connectors to make our sentences flow with one another. Additionally we used a plethora of databases to find research about our capstone project, which is femicide in Ciudad Juarez and how the profiles of the victims are represented in Desert Blood: The Juarez Murders by Alicia Gaspar de Alba and Las Hijas de Juarez by Teresa Rodriguez. In addition my partner and I will discover how the culprits of the femicides are represented in each literary text. Since this class I have finally discovered what is required to have a good literature review. But I would like to further my understanding that I way I can apply it when I am in a Master's Program and it is time to write a literature review. I hope to further explore this learning by doing some research of my own on how to have a good literature review. Overall I was able to evolve my writing in Spanish In addition, I had the opportunity of conducting research using a variety of online databases.
