I just took the new Technology Management course, and to simply say, ‘fantastic’ would be an understatement!
This course was everything I wanted in a technology-based course. The content was very well written and the instructor was full of enthusiasm. At the end of the second day, students actually stayed in the classroom well after the required time to ask and listen to additional questions!
