AGBU 4973 — Senior Seminar in Agriculture Business
This seminar is designed as a capstone course for the Agriculture Business degree. In the capstone experience, students are coached/coaxed to bridge the gap between the structured learning of traditional classroom and the dynamic agricultural business environment - which puts a premium on motivation, initiative and creativity. Students will be challenged to integrate their accumulated knowledge and technical and social skills in order to identify and solve a problem relevant to issues encountered by professionals in their chosen discipline and to communicate the results of their efforts to their peers. In doing so, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to adapt to professional situations. It is hoped that this experience will transition students from dependent learners to self-directed learners and stimulate students' appreciation of the need for lifelong learning and initiate professional and personal liaisons.
