Abstract | Several years ago, the University of Indianapolis embarked on its self-study for North Central Association accreditation with the issue of quality assessment linked to outcomes. As such, its Department of Communication was forced to demonstrate outcomes-oriented evaluation of student learning. After an extensive audit of the department's curriculum, the communication faculty agreed to implement a multifaceted senior project that would serve in two capacities: (1) as a culminating experience wherein students would engage in reflective analysis of their education and (2) as a quality assessment tool to satisfy the standards of accreditation. In this article, the author briefly describes the faculty's capstone experience as a reflective practice, explains its utility in assessment and improving quality, and identifies some of the challenges they have encountered and continue to address.
