In this paper, we present an exploration of the values which students consider when selecting their capstone project. The five core values considered were difficulty, experience gained, social value, fun, and topic familiarity. Students were surveyed and asked to indicate the level of importance they placed on each of these core values. Difficulty and experience gained were found to be the values considered most important. Students who placed more emphasis on fun and very little on difficulty were found to be more likely to perform poorly on the project. Further work is suggested to refine the survey instrument used and to investigate the reasons behind student priorities. |
