This was one of the most interesting courses I’ve ever taken. I loved that the instructors used Tcrunch to get student feedback. And I really liked the way they organized the course. The discussion topics definitely contributed to my learning and I enjoyed reading the responses from the other students. |

Will is a SME in SE and I appreciate being taught by a practicing Systems Engineer. Besides being a good lecturer, Will is very helpful outside of class time during class project discussions. We appreciate him staying late after class when we had extra questions. Will is rather easy going and has a good sense of humor. |
