Course Catalog / BMU 001 / Course project

Course project

Start Here: Learning Again as an Adult. Do this after Lesson 5. About 30 to 45 minutes.

This is where you show you can do what the course promised. Build your project in the builder below. The site checks each rubric row and tells you what to fix. Your certificate needs this step and a passed Posttest.

Capstone rubric

The site checks each part. A row passes when your work matches Ready. You need all six rows.

Part	Not yet	Getting there	Ready
Goal and course	No goal or course.	A goal, but no course yet.	One clear life goal and one course that fits it.
Study times	No times planned.	Times, but no day or place.	Three 15 minute times, each with a day, time, and place.
Method	Reread only.	Names a method, but did not try it.	Uses quiz yourself and space it out, and tried them.
Screen tool	None turned on.	Turned one on, but did not use it.	Uses at least one tool during study.
Help source	None named.	Named, but no contact.	One free help source with a phone, address, or website.
Check in	No note.	A note, but not after 7 days.	A 7 day note: what worked, what did not, one change.

Compare your capstone: example answers

These are made up examples. Compare your work row by row.

A strong example

Goal and course: help my son with fractions; 020 Everyday Math.
Study times: Mon 7 p.m. kitchen table, Wed 12:30 p.m. break room, Sat 9 a.m. library, 15 minutes each, phone alarm set.
Method: quiz myself on Mon and Sat, mixed problems on Wed.
Screen tool: read aloud on my phone.
Help source: Lake County Library, 555 0142, open until 8 p.m.
Check in, day 7: did 3 of 3. Mornings were easy. Change: move Wed to Thu.

A weak example, with feedback

Weak: Goal: get smarter. Why and how to fix: Too big, and no course. Ask what you want to do in your life, then match one course.
Weak: Study times: at night. Why and how to fix: No day or place. Write day, time, and place for each of three times.
Weak: Help source: the library. Why and how to fix: No contact. Add a phone number, address, or website.

Fix it and try again

For each row that says Not yet, read the feedback above, go back to the lesson for that part, and fix it. Then press Check my project again. You can do this as many times as you want.

End of course self check

Mark how sure you feel about each goal. This is not a grade, and it does not change your certificate.

I can...	1 = not yet, 2 = with notes, 3 = on my own
Name a goal and pick a course for it.	1 2 3
Plan three 15 minute study times.	1 2 3
Quiz myself and space out my study.	1 2 3
Use read aloud, bigger text, and captions.	1 2 3
Find free learning help near me.	1 2 3

Build your course project

Build your project here, step by step. When you are ready, press Check my project. The site checks each rubric row for you and tells you exactly what to fix. Fix it and check again as many times as you need. When every row passes, your project is complete, and you can download or print it.

Your answers save in this browser as you type. Nothing is sent to BMU. Files you upload stay on your device; the site only reads their name, type, size, and length. The checks test what a page can test: the parts, the math, and your choices. They cannot see what you do offline, so do the real steps too.

Goal and course

My life goal, in one sentence

A life goal, like read my mail with less stress. Not a school goal.

The one BMU course that matches my goal

Three study times

Three 15 minute study times

Tie each time to something you already do, like after the bus.
