PrintCapstone Project: Stage 4 Instructions
You are now in Stage 4 of the Capstone Project. We highly recommend that you work on Stage 4 during Modules 11-12 and try to get this section completed and turned in early in the week of Module 13 so that you allow time for feedback before you need to finish and turn in your final product (Stage 5 of the Capstone Project).
Directions
- Complete Stage 4 of the CVAT Coastal City Audit PowerPoint including Stage 4a: Vulnerability, Planning, and Action; Stage 4b: Resiliency Policy, Planning, and Action; and 4c-e: Site-Specific Concerns and Considerations; Recommended Resiliency Action Plans; and References and Key Resources.
- Submit your updated CVAT PowerPoint by the due date to Capstone Project: Stage 4. Please employ the following naming convention: Last Name_First Name Stage4.pptx
- After you have submitted Capstone Stage 4 and have received feedback from your instructor, use the information you have gathered on the CVAT to create and finalize your final presentation on the Coastal City Slides template. Remember to refer to the Rubric in the Capstone Directions and Requirements, found in the Orientation Module and Module 1, to be sure you cover all the steps to receive full credit.
Examples
We post a couple of examples below to help you get going. We stress that there are no correct answers, and these examples are just for guidance, to help you with questions about the amount of detail we expect in various components of the Capstone project. Every city is different and there may be more information in one area or another for a specific city. For example, there is often more information, particularly in the engineering and policy areas, for U.S., European, and some Asian cities than there is for some cities in Africa. Again, please use these examples for guidance, along with the detailed directions for each stage, and let us know if you have any questions. Please note that there are slight differences between these examples and the current version of slides used in this course. The main thing we want to demonstrate is the level of detail we are looking for.
