Winter 2024 - Professor Crane seems an excellent professor, but the class feels solely meant to force internship experience on students rather than serve any purpose itself. The project and internship are good for a resume or job interview for most people, but for some it does not serve any benefit and they are still forced into it. Having this as an elective course may make more sense, but I understand why it is required. I suppose the main thing is having lectures or class content that serves a purpose other than to describe assignments we have likely done in other classes, or not have them be part of the course grade. This capstone is a tricky thing to format, and I think it currently is acceptable, but somehow feels extremely bad to both good and bad students.
