  • Dr ernest osei is a great professor he will make the understanding very clear with the help of us presenting PPTS in the class on various topics related to the course. He also brought some guest lectures which made the class even more interesting

  • A course with 4 presentations - super good practise if you plan to go to grad school as you likely will give a lot of research talks. Overall not too hard and a fairly fun course to listen to all the presentations!
