At the outset of the New Media Journalism Final Project course, my initial expectation was to finalize our Capstone Project, and indeed, that's what transpired. Over the course of four weeks, we delved into each section of our final thesis paper, centered around my Capstone Project focusing on five ways parents and educators can support middle and high school students through mental health challenges.
During the first week, we crafted an introduction to our thesis and conducted a literature review. Feedback from both peers and instructors prompted revisions in the second week, primarily urging me to enhance the detail in my introduction and ensure punctuation accuracy. Surprisingly, amidst this process, I realized that working on this final thesis paper was significantly improving my writing skills.
Week three tasked us with developing the discussion and conclusion sections of our paper, along with acknowledgments. I encountered difficulties in summarizing my project succinctly, as articulating its significance proved challenging. Additionally, I struggled with organizing the chronological process of assembling my project and crafting a strong conclusion, as I've historically found concluding narratives to be a writing weakness.
The final week was dedicated to revising and compiling the entire thesis paper. In reflection, the four-week journey not only culminated in the completion of my Capstone Project but also notably enhanced my writing abilities. Overall, this experience served as a fitting conclusion to my master's degree in the New Media Journalism Program at Full Sail University, earning a perfect rating in my estimation.
