14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.

• Syllabus should be more detailed. Schedule of course should be mentioned in the syllabus.
• He was great and really put in efforts.Was knowledgable and helped us a lot.
• Professor Hall is just great. He helped every one of his students with their projects and was often in class up to an hour after class ended. What a helpful and kind professor! I also learned a lot about UNIX in this class. Professor Hall is clearly an expert. I only wish that we had covered "categories" each week instead of a bunch of commands.

15. I had met all the specified prerequisites for the course.
