My best academic experience was being able to program on real equipment in CS 2230 (Computer Organization and Assembly Language), We worked on micro-controller boards and delved deep into the components of a computer and how they work. What made this class so great was our professor, Colin MacCreery, because of his ability to explain complicated computer concepts in a concise and straightforward way.”
