Dr. Watson is a great professor for PHSC497, the course is pretty straightforward. She’s very sweet and understanding, and will help you with any questions you might have throughout the capstone paper. She also had some classes over zoom due to her schedule conflicts and our presentations were given over zoom as well. I can’t speak for how the other professors are for PHSC497, but I would highly recommend Dr. Watson! |

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. She is the worst teacher in the school of public health I have ever had. She favors students in the class, treats all of us like 5-year-old children, grades all assignments very harshly, is extremely unorganized (the rubrics for assignments do not correlate with the actual assignment and she never answers emails), and takes forever to grade assignments. I am a straight-A student and getting a B+ in her class due to her lack of professionalism and teaching ability sucks. |

If you have Paul for your capstone, you'll be fine and get through the course, but it will be a frustrating class. He's a nice guy but disorganized and not good at communicating. Our syllabus wasn't published until the second week of class, and it became immediately inaccurate because he ignored assignments on the syllabus and added new ones with no notice. He splits up the capstone paper into 4 benchmarks, but he will not give the due dates until a few weeks before. Do not ask for an extension because he will not grant one. He does not use rubrics for his class, so he takes off points, and you have to email him and ask why. Speaking of email, he is AWFUL at responding. Do not expect a response for at least 3 days if not a week. The class is online which gives a lot of flexibility, and we have never gone the full 2.5 hours which is really nice. He also does not give filler assignments or busywork aside from a few quick and easy assignments in the first few weeks. Again, he's not completely awful, and I don't think he intends to be difficult, but he has a separate 9-5 job, and you can tell that job is his priority, not this class. |

I have several friends taking PHSC497, and the course grades are entirely inconsistent. My friend in a different teacher's section said that the average grades on their assignments tends to be around 85-90 percent, in our class the average grades on assignments is like a 70 percent. Professor Bustad is an impossible grader, and her standards are impossible to keep up with. This may be the worst professor to take for this class. This shouldn't be tanking student's GPAs right before they graduate.... |

He is one of the best capstone professors out there. |
