Quality Practice:

• The instructor was very straightforward and precise in terms of the delivery of lectures. The presentation style did not complement the textbook style which was a plus. I’d suggest adding a few practice sessions where about 5 projects are being given to the students to practice User stories, Epic, etc. Answers of which should be provided in the form of a workbook. (Uche O, ★★★★★)
