Module 7 Narration#
Opening#
Open with the professional setting: a capstone review committee evaluating whether a student project is defensible, deployable, and well documented. Ask students what decision is being made, who is affected, and what evidence would be persuasive to a skeptical reviewer.
Middle#
Move through the module in four passes:
Define Thesis, documentation, and defense in the context of Capstone Project.
Walk through the lab as a proxy-data exercise, emphasizing what it can and cannot show.
Compare a baseline with an AI-enabled or more sophisticated alternative.
Translate the result into stakeholder language: recommendation, risk, mitigation, and next evidence.
Closing#
Close by returning to the module artifact: capstone portfolio with thesis, implementation evidence, evaluation report, and final defense materials focused on thesis, documentation, and defense: Draft the thesis and defense materials.. Students should leave knowing exactly what artifact they are producing and how it will be judged.
