This was something that was a very common issue when I took capstone. First of all our capstone group of 5 people had many individual commitments that made it very difficult to meet at the same time. One way that we addressed this was to break up into even smaller groups that could all meet at the same time and would focus on specific parts of the project. An even bigger issue than this, however, was difficulty meeting with our capstone sponsor. My group’s sponsor was part of Albany Medical College so his schedule was always full. He was also horrible about responding back to emails we would send him. The best way we were able to deal with this scenario was through being persistent with emailing him, attempting to establish a line of communication with one of his coworkers, and ultimately, we tried to make our project less dependent on his feedback so that we would minimize delays associated with his unresponsiveness.
