- I'm really enjoying the course. This is my first eCornell course and I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but I really like it. The simulation has really made me think, and the discussions are very lively and work well, and the instructor's questions have really pushed them in some interesting directions. The diversity in the group has been a lot of fun to see, and something I miss in my work classes where we are all a bunch of computer geeks and see things from almost the same point of view!Stephen Strom - System Architect - Computer Sciences Corporation from Washington, DC,Course: Managing Strategic Change
