Assessment
Capstone Assessment
The objective of the capstone experience at NPS is to be a culminating learning event integrating earlier components of students’ programs, and requiring original, analytical and critical thinking. The capstone in NPS’ programs is typically a thesis, although some programs use a capstone project, either individual or team-based.
A campus-wide approach to capstone assessment is in place using an online tool and rubric to assess the capstone against identified program outcomes, using both qualitative and quantitative measures.
Completion of the capstone assessment is part of the thesis/final report review and approval process in Python. NPS aims for two assessments per report.
The assessment results collected with the NPS CAP Instrument are distributed back to the academic units to be incorporated into program review processes.
Capstone Outcomes Assessed
The common CAP tool employs a set of program outcomes that are broadly similar across all NPS’ master’s degree programs.
- Subject Matter Competence: Student demonstrates graduate-level knowledge and competencies in their academic field.
- Methods and Technical Merit: Student demonstrates the ability to apply technical expertise and appropriate methodological rigor in conducting research and analysis.
