Week 12 Tutorial: Drafting the Capstone Claim

Turning a semester of case studies into one testable claim, rehearsed against the Week 1 method ahead of the Final Exam.

12 October 2027

Activity#

Bring a one-sentence draft claim about a norm the course studied — your own, from any week — and test it against the Week 1 method: what would you need to observe, isolate, and describe to defend it?

Record your reaction#

Note where a classmate’s pushback, or your own re-reading, found the claim’s evidence thinnest.

Reflection#

Revise your draft claim into a sentence that names the norm, what enforces it, and what it takes to break it visibly — the shape the Final Exam and the write-up both expect.
