She runs the course over email which is also quite bizarre. No canvas site. She also doesnt hold herself to deadlines AT ALL. Take a different capstone, the easy A isnt worth it.",

Grade is based on a (very low-pressure) 20 minute group discussion lead, and 2 papers that are (can't believe I'm saying this) a joy to write because of how interesting/fun/choose-your-own-adventure they are.",
