Impressively, Capital鈥檚 faculty is comprised of 鈥渟cholars who are nationally known in the areas of family, children鈥檚, environmental, and regulatory law.鈥 Further, a number of professors have 鈥淸practical] experience in litigation, negotiation, and public service.鈥 Accessibility is another common attribute of Capital鈥檚 faculty and, typically, they are 鈥渕ore than willing to meet with students out of class when necessary.鈥 Students here also find that their professors are 鈥渕otivated and engaged in the material.鈥 Their 鈥渓ove for teaching is infectious鈥 and they continually find ways to be 鈥渃reative鈥 in the classroom. And, as one sage third-year explains, 鈥渢he dedicated professors make all the difference.鈥
Students certainly have a difference of opinion when it comes to Capital鈥檚 administration. As one third-year laments, 鈥淭he registar鈥檚 office needs a lot of help.鈥 He further elaborates, 鈥淸A]lmost every semester I attended Capital, it cancelled classes after I registered. During my fall semester of last year four out of five of the classes I wanted to take got cancelled. This semester, a class got cancelled abruptly, with over eighty students registered, because of 鈥榰nforeseen changes in the professor鈥檚 personal life.鈥欌 However, a second-year argues that the 鈥渁dministration is generally quick to address problems,鈥 and a first-year asserts that they 鈥渕ake great efforts to accommodate the needs of [their] students.鈥
