The perspectives in the reflective statements offered by the project’s researcher and participant highlight some points for other institutions to consider when moving forward in capstone assessment evaluations: The process of reviewing capstone experiences between universities is useful. The pilot concluded that the collaborative peer reviewing of capstone experiences and tasks was a valuable tool in the quality assurance process and curriculum enhancement initiatives to ensure that universities are attaining learning goals and preparing employable graduates.
