The answer to this question is kind of funny.  Not funny in the “haha” kind of way but in the “interesting” kind of way.

I think the most important aspect of this class was not so much learning about the basics-ARM, AI, etc, but rather obtaining the introduction on how to try to best interact with others via an online medium. Through the ups and the downs of the new system, we were able to interact and trust each other as a class.  Then we were pushed forward to interact as a team. This aspect moves us into the “real world” of O.D.; having to work with people who are not necessarily in our physical location.

Another added bonus to this course was having the opportunity to learn from someone who has been in the field so long, that the books are written by himJ.  Even if we only received 10% knowledge transfer from Professor Rothwell, the 10% is more valuable than most.

I leave this class feeling excited about the next courses and thank each of my team mates for an amazing first semester!
