LAS432 is the capstone course for the General Education program embedded in every student’s overall academic journey. The capstone course is a final opportunity to develop the General Education Common Learning Outcomes (GECLOs) and assess how well you’ve mastered them. The GECLOs represent personal skills essential for success in every career field. Self-assessment is a valuable way to identify opportunities for continued growth in any personal and professional development endeavor. Completing this assignment will also help you prepare for the Week 8 assignment.

General Education Common Learning Outcomes

Critical Thinking: Integrate principles, concepts, and methodologies to analyze and solve complex problems, including applied mathematics and logical reasoning.

For this assignment, please assess how well you believe you have mastered each of these outcomes using this scale:
