1. Mission/objectives of capstone The Yale-NUS curriculum culminates in an original capstone project which all students undertake

with the guidance of Yale-NUS faculty and other subject matter experts. In the capstone program,

students hone the disciplinary and general intellectual skills necessary to conceive, design and

execute a year-long, self-directed project within their major. The program requires every student

to engage with research in their discipline, to produce scholarship across appropriate formats,

and to communicate their results to a variety of audiences. By completing their capstone work,

students demonstrate independence, creativity and critical analysis.

2. Format The Capstone Project is a two-semester module worth a total of 10 MC’s over the last year of

the 4-year course. It allows students the opportunity to pursue, in depth, an advanced project of

their own choosing, while working closely with a faculty supervisor. Students will work on an

advanced creative and/or research or experiential project that integrates skills from the Common

Curriculum and learning in the major. The Capstone Project will culminate in a substantial piece

of work that reflects a deep engagement with the topic.

3. Selection and scope of project

Faculty can make suggestions based on identified student interest, or circulate a few topics of

interest that students could take or adapt. Students can also suggest their own topics – the most

appropriate means for determining topics will vary from major to major. The Capstone project

may be part of a larger effort being undertaken by the faculty supervisor and others, but the

Capstone itself must be clearly identified as a separate intellectual entity within that broader

project.

Students are strongly encouraged to choose a topic which they find compelling and in which they

may have some competence based on prior academic work, professional experience, or

exploration of future career options. While there will be a supervisor who is a domain expert to

be a guide, the students will work largely on their own.

As the Capstone Project is equivalent to a 10 MC module, students should plan and supervisors

should expect the student to spend at least as much time and energy on the Capstone Project

as would be devoted to one 5 MC module per semester. We note that the formal definition of a

5MC module entails 12.5 hours of work per week. While workloads may vary between projects


5 | P a g e

and within a project as it develops, projects that require either substantially more or substantially

less effort than is suggested by this workload should be restructured. Both students and

supervisors are responsible for keeping the Capstone project to an appropriate scope.

4. Definitions and responsibilities

4.1 Head of Studies/Designate/Capstone Coordinator

Any reference to “Head of Studies” will mean the Head of Studies OR the person designated by

the Head of Studies to undertake his/her responsibilities OR another faculty who is identified as

the Capstone Coordinator for that major. The Head of Studies will submit all the capstone project

proposals from his/her major to Registry at the end of Week 6, Semester 1. He/She is responsible

for approving external supervisors and appointing co-supervisors; collecting feedback from the

students at the end of Semesters 1 and 2; resolving any dispute or problems related to the

capstone project; submitting the progress report form to Registry at the end of Semester 1;

designing the assessment rubric for the major; collating all the students’ final grades to be

submitted to Registry; mediating any other issues as outlined in this document.

4.2 Supervisors and co-supervisors

Every capstone project must have a supervisor who is typically a faculty member in Yale-NUS

College. With the approval of the Head of Studies, the supervisor may be from outside Yale-

NUS. In this case, the student will be assigned a separate faculty member from Yale-NUS to

serve as Co-supervisor.

For DDP Law and Liberal Arts students: The Supervisor may be from the Faculty of Law. If so,

a Co-supervisor from Yale-NUS College will be appointed. If your Supervisor is from Yale-NUS

College, a Co-supervisor from the Faculty of Law will be appointed.

4.3 Responsibilities of the supervisor

The supervisor will work with the student from the beginning till the end of the project. He/she

will help the student refine the project goals and objectives as well as set up a timeline to help

the student stay on track. The supervisor should guide the student through the project by

answering questions, suggesting avenues to investigate, commenting on the current state and

progress of the project, and assisting with relevant resources applicable to the project. Together


6 | P a g e

with another examiner, the supervisor is also responsible for assessing the capstone module

and giving the final grade.

4.4 Responsibilities of the co-supervisor

If the supervisor is not a Yale-NUS faculty, then the internal Yale-NUS co-supervisor will keep in

contact with the external supervisor and the student on a periodic basis to ensure that the

external supervisor is meeting his/her responsibilities toward the student and that the student is

making satisfactory progress on the project.

4.5 Responsibilities of the student

The student should work closely with the supervisor to ensure that the goals and objectives of

the project are clear and that the timeline to achieve them is reasonable. As research projects

are, by definition, journeys into the unknown, failure to achieve a specific result will not

necessarily count against the student BUT any demonstrable lack of effort certainly will.

4.6 Process for Resolution of disputes/problems

If any dispute or problem arises, the Head of Studies should be informed as soon as possible so

that it can be resolved. If resolution by the Head of Studies is not possible, then the Divisional

Directors should get involved and, if necessary, set up a 3-faculty panel to resolve the

dispute/problem. If there are further questions about the dispute/problem then the Associate

Dean of Faculty will be consulted. In all such circumstances, the interests of the student should

be paramount and the dispute/problem should be resolved speedily.

5. Project framework and guidelines a) Students may start discussions with the HOS and potential supervisors in advance.

However formal enrolment in the Capstone Project module takes place at the beginning

of Year 4, prior to the end of the second week.

b) The supervisor is a faculty member of Yale-NUS or someone approved by the Head of

Studies. If the supervisor is external to Yale-NUS, a faculty member of Yale-NUS will be

appointed as co-supervisor.

c) At the end of Semester 1, supervisors will give students feedback on their progress. Both

the student and the supervisor will submit a brief description of progress made so far.

Each major can decide on the format of this Semester 1 report although a suggested

format is also available. A grade of IP will be recorded based on the supervisor’s


7 | P a g e

endorsement and an assessment determined by the Head of Studies which will then be

submitted to Registry. Students who have not made satisfactory progress should be

advised by the supervisor and Head of Studies on steps to take in Semester 2 to fulfil the

requirements of the project.

d) Depending on the design of the project, students will submit a formal thesis or some other

piece(s) of work in the second semester.

e) Depending on the major and project, viva voce style presentations may take different

forms and be graded as determined by the supervisor and Head of Studies. If these are

required, then they should be completed before the end of Week 13 in Semester 2.

f) Grading of the final project will be done by the supervisor and another examiner

independently and the final grade will be the average of the two grades or as mutually

determined by the supervisor and examiner. If the two grades differ by more than two

grade steps or a mutually satisfactory grade cannot be determined, a third examiner will

be appointed by the Head of Studies (or the Divisional Director, if the HOS is the original

supervisor/examiner) to assess the project and determine the final grade in consultation

with the Divisional Director or HOS.

g) The format used for the overall grading of the capstone project will be designed by each

major but should be recorded on forms to be submitted to the Head of Studies who will

be responsible for collating all the grades and determining all the students’ final grades

to be submitted to Registry.

h) Where necessary, the supervisor is responsible for ensuring that the project follows the

College’s guidelines on ethical standards of research for undergraduates.

i) Policy on Failure – Any student who receives a final grade of D in the Capstone project

will have to satisfactorily complete a remediation process to be confirmed by the

supervisor and Head of Studies before the student is allowed to graduate. Upon

successful remediation, the grade will be changed to a C. Remediation will be undertaken

during the long vacation under the supervision of the supervisor and the final remediation

report/thesis submitted by the end of the third week of June so that the decision on the

remediation is available by mid-July. Any student who receives a final grade of F or fails

the remediation will have to re-do the whole capstone project before being allowed to

graduate. Such students will re-enrol for one more semester at the College and register

for the Repeat Capstone module by Week 2 of Semester 1 or Semester 2 if the student

decides to take a leave of absence for one semester before re-enrolling. The Repeat

Capstone module will also carry 10MC’s but has to be completed within the one semester


8 | P a g e

and the student will be working on the project full-time. The deadline for submission of

the final report/thesis will be Week 11 of the Semester and grading procedures will be

the same as for the normal Capstone project.

j) Late submission policy – Any final thesis/report that is submitted after the end of Week

11 of Semester 2 will be subject to penalties as described in the Submission of Capstone

Report Guidelines document (link). However, students with Assistant Dean of Students’

notes, which are given for medical reasons, will not receive any grade penalty. Where

there are other extenuating circumstances as recognized by the Head of Studies, the

penalties will not apply until the agreed period of extension has been exceeded.

k) Academic integrity – Students should conduct all work on the capstone project according

to the policy on academic integrity that is part of the academic regulations of the College.

Any violation of the academic integrity policy will be subject to the disciplinary policies

and procedures of the College and may result in required remediation of the project prior

to graduation.

l) The year-long Capstone module is offered in Semester 1 of each Academic Year for all

majors. In order not to be out of sequence for the capstone module, it is highly

recommended that all capstone projects should be completed within Semester 1 and 2

of any academic year. In the event that a student has taken a leave of absence in a

previous semester and will be scheduled to graduate one semester later than the

students of the admitted cohort (at the end of Semester 1 of the following AY instead of

Semester 2 of the current AY), the student will still register for the capstone project in

August (Semester 1) of his/her penultimate year so that the project can be completed the

following April/May (Semester 2). After which, the student will continue for one more

semester in the following August (Semester 1) in order to take additional modules

required to graduate. Students in such circumstances will need to propose an academic

plan at least three weeks (start of Round 3 of the Module Registration Exercise) before

the start of Semester 1 of his/her penultimate year supported by the HOS and approved

by the Capstone Committee. However, if for some extenuating reasons, a student is

unable to register the capstone project in Semester 1 and is requesting for an out of

sequence registration to register the capstone project in Semester 2, the student must

indicate in the academic plan with substantive reasons for why the student cannot start

in Semester 1 of the penultimate year. All requests must be submitted to the HOS with

an academic plan supported by the supervisor and will be considered by the Capstone

Committee that adjudicates such exceptions at the beginning of Semester 1 or any other

https://students.yale-nus.edu.sg/2016/04/06/capstone/


9 | P a g e

relevant time. The decision made by the Capstone Committee will be final. The Capstone

Committee will be chaired by the Associate Dean of Faculty (Academic Affairs) with the

Head of Studies and relevant Divisional Director as members.

6. Timeline Each Head of Studies is responsible for preparing and ensuring that their students meet the

following deadlines for the items listed in Table 1 that need to be submitted to Registry. All

supervisors will submit Semester 1 Progress reports to the Head of Studies. Students will submit

Semester 1 and Semester 2 feedback forms online. This feedback will be kept confidential with

the Divisional Director, but the Divisional Director will have prerogative to discuss relevant

content with the Head of Study and/or Supervisor.

In Semester 2, the final report of the capstone is due on the Friday of Week 11 and all other

assessed activities (e.g. viva voce exams, exhibits and poster sessions, etc.) should be

completed by the end of Week 13.

7. Presentation of capstone work in the Residential Colleges

As students progress through their college years, they move from a tight bond with their year

cohort in the residential college as freshmen, to broader associations with people from different

colleges and years through their activities with various affinity groups and their majors. In their

final year as seniors it is both satisfying and useful to recover those connections of their original

class cohort bond, a kind of return to the grounding elements of their first year, prior to their

collective launch into post-college life.

As all Yale-NUS students have to work on a capstone project, one way to engineer and

rediscover this cohort reconnection is for seniors to present their research to their year cohort

within their colleges. We imagine a series of evenings over the course of the latter part of the

first semester and through the second semester in a student’s senior year, whereby seniors

gather each week for dinner or some refreshment with their rectors and Assistant Dean of

Students or designates. These evenings would be organized by the Rectors and the RC

staff. Over the course of each session, four or five seniors present their work. Those students

presenting would be allowed to invite their advisors and friends to hear the presentations and

join with the group for their meal.

These presentations would serve two major purposes: to help hone the presentational elements

of student capstone projects and to help recreate cohort connection in order to enhance the

development of the alumni cohort. They would not be required or graded. Instead the individual

majors that do want formal or graded student presentations, should have their students present

a viva voce at the end of the year in a controlled group session with all students presenting the

final versions of their projects. It is these presentations that could be assessed and graded.


11 | P a g e

8. Administration, policies and procedures

Details for each major are in Appendix 1.

9. Grading

At the end of Semester 1, a grade of IP will be recorded based on an assessment by the supervisor. Depending on the design of the project, students will submit a formal thesis or other written work at the end of Semester 2 and will generally make a presentation or exhibit of some kind, the nature of which will be determined by the individual major. The final project will be assessed by the supervisor and another examiner, and the overall grading of the Capstone module will be as defined by the major as presented in the description of the Capstones of the individual major. The final grade will be submitted to the Registry by the Head of Studies.

10. Funding/resources Students can make use of all the resources available from ERT and other resources available

within Yale-NUS College. Each Capstone project will have a small amount of money (SGD 50)

which will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts. Majors can petition the Dean of Faculty

to increase this standard amount for each student for particular kinds of Capstones that have

specific needs (e.g. lab or studio art-based or field-based Capstones). Individual Capstones can

also petition to the Dean of Faculty for specific resources once the capstone proposal has been

submitted. Guidelines for the application and use of this funding are available at: link.

10.1 External Support

External support or funding must be declared to the Heads of Studies and is subject to further approval.

11. Student preparation Each major will have individualized preparation requirements and these should be shared with

students in Year 3.

12. Supervisor preparation All supervisors are reminded that the Capstone Project is only equivalent to a 10 MC module.

Therefore, students should plan and supervisors should expect the student to spend as much

https://students.yale-nus.edu.sg/2016/04/06/capstone/


12 | P a g e

time and energy on the Capstone Project as would be devoted to one 5 MC module per semester.

Both students and supervisors should keep the Capstone project within a limited and realistic

scope.

For the preparation of supervisors, the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Yale-NUS College

and the Dean of Faculty Office will sponsor workshops on effective supervision of capstone

projects in Semester 2.

13. Prizes for completed projects Prizes may be awarded for the outstanding capstone project in each major. The highest scoring

projects will be considered by the Head of Studies and faculty. One (maximum of two) capstone

project(s) may be chosen based on scholarly merit, originality and contribution to the field of

study.

14. Feedback and Evaluation Students will be requested to share their feedback and evaluation of the Capstone Project at the

end of Semesters 1 and 2. Heads of Studies will also discuss the capstone projects with the

supervisors in their major to share good practices and avoid difficulties/challenges that might

have occurred in the past year. Additionally, post-graduation, students will also be requested to

give feedback on the impact of their capstone project experience on their career or further

studies.
