14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.
- excellent instructor. He motivated the whole class into doing their best.His tactic of making us do presnetations helped us learn better.
- I enjoyed being Brad's student. He gave me an opportunity to get rid of my stage fright. I did my first presentation in my life and i think it was a success. It was largely due to him.
- Implemented good teaching methods and course work was fun to learn. Very impressed by the professors interest in teaching the subject. Had to work very hard to score good grades but I think this course is the best to be offered every summer ( for prospective students) to keep up our learning and working spirits.
