Comments

My favorite class this semester. Such a great way to end the QUEST experience.

One of the best courses I've taken in college. Taught very well and was a great experience.

Post examples earlier if possible! (or even just templates so we know what is expected)

I learned a lot from this class in terms of consulting and consolidating information so that the general public can understand it. However, I feel like sometimes the class could have been planned out better (more on top of assignments and deadlines and more communicative about those to the class) and that instructors could present unified information (not give out different and conflicting information about assignments). I feel that the alumni were helpful in giving a set of fresh eyes to the situation, but they pulled the project away from being more "client–based". I also think that making the prior two courses, the data course and 390, a little bit harsher could have prepared us better for 490.
