Hi class! My capstone project is going well and according to plan. Nothing much has changed or added to the agenda, however I’ve just recently attended my innovation class and was thinking of adding the dream catalogue to the final report and to the modules so I might make a few changes to my plan, I know it might sound like a bad idea to do it half way through but change is always good. I have learned a lot in one day with Dr. Drew Boyd and have seen a lot of things that could be applied to the... Continue reading

Blog Post#5. Hi classmates, I’ve just had my project review brief thirty minutes meeting with my client professor Dianne Hardin, I have received a few tips and hints on some issues I’ve been facing with the project.

Blog Post#3 Hello fellow capstone classmates! Hope all is well, and everyone’s project is going smoothly. I was feeling overwhelmed as well just like Heather and very stressed about the capstone, it is both interesting and rewarding to be working on a project that involves UC and the Marketing department, but I feel it’s a huge responsibility to handle, as it involves later on a meeting with board members to present our case and key findings and insights. With professor Drew as my mentor and professor Dianne my Client and faculty advisor for this project, it makes me anxious about... Continue reading

Hello Fellow capstone classmates! This is Blog post #2 Hope everyone is surviving the past few weeks with the first initial client- consultant meeting. I must admit that it has been tough on me and going a little slower than usual; it does require a lot of patience, determination and persistent dedication. The client- consultant feedback is very important in trying to figure out a middle ground between the project’s requirements to complete all modules mentioned in the charter and the client’s requests in order to meet the deadline set and have a well strategic plan to accomplish all the...
