The highlights from this class were the broad but comprehensive overview of the topic, fun and useful projects, and the applied nature of the information. Most students felt strongly that what they were learning in the class was immediately applicable and very important. The worst aspects of the course were the disorganized lectures, unclear homework instructions, and the lack of communication from the instructor. Suggestions to improve the class included giving more detailed instruction for assignments, better organization of the class time and schedule, and better communication from the instructor and TA. Students interested in the class should have a background in programming languages, and the information is useful and interesting.

89The best aspects of the course included the combination of business concepts and skil s with computer science into a hands-on, dynamic project of choice. Students found the course to be very practical, and thought that the professors’ respective areas of expertise complimented one another well. Some students would have appreciated having assignments central y posted on Blackboard with clearer requirements. Further, some students suggested that less time be spent on business planning aspects and more time spent on product development. Prospective students may find themselves in a better position if they enter the class with a project idea, and should be ready to create and adhere to their own deadlines.
