Excellent course. A real privilege to have this kind of instructors. Exceptional opportunity to receive information directly from one of the main protagonists of the event.

The method of instruction and excellent communication of the instructors allowed for me to understand and retain more about this very complex topic than I had imagined I would.

This is a very interesting course with a very informative professor and instructor. I just received “The Stress Test” in the mail, but have not started reading it.
