 **[[Contact Information]]** has detailed contact information for members of the Capstone team.
-=====Schedule=====
-There are two main components of Capstone, which leads to two interrelated schedules:
-  ***[[Instruction Schedule]]** describes the schedule for instructional activities aimed at understanding and applying the principles of product development.
-  ***[[Project Schedule]]** describes the schedule for the activities involved in successfully completing your project.
-=====Time Management=====
-In most classes, the instructor schedules your time by giving you assignments with fixed deadlines, along with
-exams covering defined portions of the coursework. This principle applies to only 20% (2 hours per week) of your time in Capstone.  The majority of your time (8 hours per week) is allocated to your work on your individual project.
-The instructors cannot schedule project time for you.  You must be responsible for scheduling yourself.
-Successful teams make good use of their project time.
-**[[Capstone Time Management]]** provides more information on successful time management.
-====Assignments====
-% of your Capstone grade is based on individual assignments.  80% is based on team assignments.  Both of these categories are discussed below.
-===Individual Assignments===
-The individual assignments you will have each semester include the following (follow the links for more information):
-**[[..:assignments:all_year:Discussions and Instructional Packets]]** (5% of the grade) Each student must complete an instructional packet for each class period. For coaches, a course packet must be submitted by each member of the team.  The packet includes questions on the readings, results of team discussions, and questions about the application of your learning to your work on the Capstone project.
-Only students who attend class and participate in the team discussion during class time will be given credit for the team discussion part of the packet.
-**[[..:assignments:all_year:Product Development Exam]]** (6% of the grade) During the final exam period, you will have an individual exam on the theory of product development and its application to your project. The exam will be approximately 75% machine-scored (for theory) and 25% free-response (for application). The exam will be given on Learning Suite at the regularly-scheduled exam time.
-**[[..:assignments:all_year:Peer and Coach Evaluations]]** (1% of the grade)Twice per semester you will be sent an email link to a Qualtrics survey asking you to evaluate your team members and your coach. Full credit is given when you complete the surveys.  We ask you to take these evaluations seriously.
-**Online Course Evaluation** (1% extra credit) We ask you to take the Online Course Evaluation provided by BYU.  This gives feedback to the instructors to help us make changes to improve your Capstone experience.  We will give 1% in extra credit to every student who completes the Online Course Evaluation.  Learning Suite will automatically give you this credit when you have completed the evaluation.
-** Late Work Policy ** Capstone policy is that //no late work is accepted on individual assignments//, unless //prior// arrangements are made due to circumstances beyond the student's control. If an illness or other emergency prevents your submitting an individual assignment on time, please contact your pod instructor immediately.
-**[[..:assignments:all_year:Individual Contribution Summary Worksheet]]**  Your proficiency in the crucial design skills (see Chapter 3 of the textbook) will be evaluated twice per semester by reviewing your contributions to the team reported in the Individual Contribution Summary worksheet.  This will be part of the Product Development Project grade, rather than the Individual Personal Development grade.
-===Team Assignments===
-The team assignments include Weekly Status Updates, Design Reviews, and the Final Report for each semester. The Final Report will be graded, and you will also be given a professionalism score based on your Weekly Status Updates and your full participation in Capstone, including following Capstone processes.
-**[[..:Design Reviews:]]**  Each semester you will have three design reviews.  One will be a presentation-only review; one will be a presentation plus artifact review; one will be a presentation plus artifact plus design report review.  Only the grade on the final review of each semester applies to your Capstone class grade.  At these reviews, you will
-be graded on the quality and transferability of the artifacts you submit.
-**[[..:Design Reviews:Architecture Review and Fall Semester Design Report|Fall Semester Design Report]]/[[..:Design Reviews:System Refinement Review and Final Design Report|Final Design Report]]** At the end of each semester, you will submit a final design report.  This report will be a final version of a report initially submitted at the final design review of the semester.
-**[[..:Assignments:All Year:Weekly Status Updates]]** Each week you will submit a status update to the sponsor detailing your progress on the project.
-**Other Professionalism Items**  Fully meeting Capstone expectations and following Capstone policies will result in a high Professionalism grade. More details are found in [[Grading#Team Professionalism Score]].

 In the Capstone program, students have been given significant access to the resources of the University.  To be able to use these resources, we must follow the polices that govern their use.  Failure to follow [[Capstone Policies]] will negatively impact both your individual and team grades.
