Maisha Fabliha Shahid (AS, ’14) has a short list of tips which she hopes will save you time and strife:<\/p>\n

\"chile<\/a><\/p>\n

To any future Honors students planning to complete a Capstone, I give the following advice, which I have arrived at after much trial and error:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spend your time really thinking about the things you are interested in and passionate about, and choose a topic that will intrigue you even (and especially) after a year of studying it.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It can help to approach the project as several small studies or questions that need to be answered rather than getting overwhelmed by the scope of the entire thing.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Start early and make the process gradual, even if you get just a little bit done per week.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your advisor will be an invaluable resource you should take advantage of even if \u2013 and especially when \u2013 you feel stuck, frustrated, and stressed.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The process will be difficult, but the sense of accomplishment after it all is wonderful.<\/p>\n

Maisha’s Capstone, \u201c’Adelante, con todas las Fuerzas\u00a0de la Historia’:\u00a0An\u00a0Exploration of the\u00a0Chilean Student\u00a0Movement\u00a0for\u00a0Education\u00a0Reform”,\u00a0explores the reasons that the student movement arose in Chile when it did: factors including an uprising in 2006, a recent shift to conservative government, and generational differences that compel these students to mobilize. Her advisor was Prof. Azra Hromadzic.<\/p>\n
