It has been a few months since I’ve last updated my ePortfolio, and the world has since changed quite a bit. Ohio State has canceled in-person classes due to COVID-19, and the timeline of my capstone has been extended to help account for this change. On the Planning page, you will see an updated version of my timeline.
After understanding the results of my capstone survey, I researched the importance of a holistic approach to collegiate education in determining the success of a STEM student. The information I found demonstrated a strong correlation between language/fine arts/non-STEM courses included in a STEM curriculum and the students’ increased mental health, physical health, peer relationships, and better grades.
I am not making strong headway in writing my paper in American Press Association (APA) format with the abstract, introduction, literature, planning, methodology, and results. The only sections left are the conclusion and works cited; I will also be editing afterward to ensure clarity throughout the paper.
