The roles

The Senior Capstone Project course involves autonomous learning by the student due to the carrying out of the project and continuous guidance of a professor who has the tutor's role. Each agent plays a different role in the development of the SCP:

Tutor's functions

The functions of the tutor are:

To read the information related to the SCP in the Teacher's Guide
To know the CETT Style Manual and ensure its application in the SCP
To establish a work plan in agreement with the student
To conduct regular tutorial sessions with the student to monitor the SCP
To guide student in the different phases of development of the SCP
To promote student initiative, autonomy and reflection
To provide feedback to the student from the partial deliveries of the SCP
To assess the memory and final prseentation of the SCP

On the contrary, they are not functions of the tutor:

To participate in the drafting of the SCP report
To directly correct spelling or grammar errors
To over-review the different versions of the SCP

Student's functions

The functions of the student are:

To read SCP information in the Student Guide
To know the CETT Style Manual and apply it in the development of the SCP
To contact the tutor to report on progress, ask questions that may arise and send partial deliveries of the SCP
To request regular tutorials with the tutor to monitor the progress of the SCP
To have initiative and autonomy in carrying out the SCP, without losing the contact with the tutor
To send a final version of the SCP to the tutor well in advance so that he or she has time to review it
To submit the report and presentation of the SCP within the established deadlines and format

Finally, it should be remembered that although the tutor has a key role in guiding the SCP, the student has the ultimate responsibility for the final result and the quality of the project delivered.
