"I’d like to thank all the professors, because their experience of the subjects is really good. I’ve got a lot of insights from different professors, with how to deal with writing the papers and how to deal with programming stuff. Their feedback will really help you shape up your future career. Working with professors and the experiences gained working as a graduate assistant will really help me when I go into a real job in a software company.“
