Formative Assessment: Identifying Theoretical Framework

To fully understand how important the theoretical framework is for your capstone, you will prepare a 10-minute audio (podcast), video, or TEDTalk helping your audience see the relevance of preparing a strong theoretical framework for any research project. Use professional guidelines for presentations if you choose to add a PowerPoint presentation with your audio or TEDTalk. Be creative. This is your opportunity to process the importance of a theoretical framework visually and audibly.
