Abstract

The Personal Financial Planning Capstone course can be a complex and daunting learning experience for both students and instructors. Resources exist to guide instructors through the content of Capstone (the what); however, more consideration needs to be given to the how of Capstone course delivery. This paper explores Capstone through the lens of Project-Led Problem Based Learning (Pj-PBL), offering examples of course design, application, and assessment. Research and discussion are needed to optimize Capstone course delivery as the final class that prepares students for a rigorous profession.
