Because of Covid-19, there wasn't too much to do for this course, but happy to have had some sort of deliverables regardless to plan for 4B

“Does the capstone project count as a course (0.5 credits)? Because then i only need 4 actual courses in 4A and 4B instead of the usual 5.”

u/set-yourself-on-fire: “Yes the capstone project counts as a course. In my department it is CHE 482 in 4A and CHE 483 in 4B, both are 0.5 credits.”
