  • Ali is an amazing professor! He employs a mild friendship dynamic in class while being professional and respectful. He is great. The class is very fun as well. It is definitely not one of those classes where you sit and listen to the lecture and then leave without speaking to anyone. It's very immersive. Material is interesting and incredibly easy to follow. You also get to do an in-person negotiation against another team!
