“Very informative and engaging! The format worked very well and spending a few hours together twice a week made it feel like a project-related work meeting where we were coming together to share thoughts and give feedback to each other. The discussion was very valuable and the assignments helped me think through the subject matter, and attach it to tangible, real-world case studies in my own professional life.”
