Succinctly, Professor Quissell is great and Colvin is ... not. Hopefully your last name is in the first half of the alphabet because otherwise this course and the process of writing your capstone will be a much worse experience. Quissell's grading strategy, feedback, and answers to questions were consistently clearer and more helpful than her co-lecturer, who seems to favor theory, esoteric answers, and "grading on feeling." Professor Q is also a much more prompt grader. I'm hoping that they revise this course at some point to have only Professor Q teach it, or at least have someone besides Colvin. Though it was a ton of work, I actually found the entire process of producing a capstone quite valuable and I'm hoping that his experience will prove useful in my future career. If you're a fourth year GPH major looking ahead, I'd recommend that you start looking at topics and doing some light research early, maybe over winter break. The time crunch near the end of the semester gets real, and at points we had only about a week to fully research and write 20ish pages.
