My capstone had two asians that didn't have the strongest grasp of the english language. They still tried, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. One offered to write with me present to give him tips, as well as used my writing style to copy to make it easier for me to edit.

The effort was there and I appreciated it. Our "main editor" thought her job was only correcting spelling mistakes and changing things to her wording (even if they were grammatically and factually correct). Nothing about formatting either, and that got passed onto me. Said they would do X by Tuesday, didn't have it done on Tuesday, tried to turn it around on me saying she never agreed on it. Took out her notebook and it said right there "do these things by Tuesday"

It's pretty bad when even one of the capstone instructors wrote on our mid report "is this true?" when it had her role listed as main editor. Girl went off to University (we were in a 2 year program with a capstone during final year), thought I was too harsh on her and expected too much. I only ended up only getting an 80% for us on the final report. I'm mildly curious with how she'll handle an actual university capstone.

On the plus side, I work at a different university and published an abstract recently.
