Thanks for the student who suggested to adjust the laptop so as to let us see the whiteboard.

Taking this course as my first semester course and you are hands down MY FAVORITE Professor! You making learning so fun and do a phenomenal job. Thank you so much!

[@andressantana]

You do a great job professor. I wish GA Tech will offer you more support to create even better videos.

[@aahpandasrun]

Don't get your hopes up about the secrets at the end of the video. They don't apply to current semesters of the class (at least in Spring 2021)

[@Farmversations]

You are a great teacher Prof. You make it easy for us. Thank you!

Wish the camera has better resolution

[@lihanlive]

Professor, I hope your camera has no autofocus function.

[@mehranzand2873]

I would really like to believe that GaTech grad students would be smarter than this bunch.

[@bronsonschnitzel7493]

Really wish Georgia tech would invest a tiny amount redoing these 7 year old videos with outdated requirements
