"Ed was a great GSI. He was very helpful and understanding."

"good incorporation of lecture material and real world."

"I loved the handouts that Ed gave us in each discussion. They were extremely helpful for studying. I also really liked how the whole course was divided into the industry groups because I feel like I actually gained an in-depth understanding of something specific. It was a great way to apply all of the concepts we learned. I also liked the current event presentations because they were easy and I felt up to date about things happening in the industry. Ed was an amazing GSI and made the classroom environment very comfortable. He is extremely approachable and has a style of teaching that makes everyone at ease."
