Experience feedback
Very friendly and respectful teacher. She always responds to our emails and requests very quickly. However, students often complained that they did not receive adequate support for this project, which may have contributed to the lack of engagement of many of them. Many times it was us, CTS, who contacted the students to ask if they had any questions and clarify the project, but at a certain point we stopped contacting the students constantly, as it did not make sense for the client (CTS) to always have to seek support from service providers (students and teacher). Despite this, two presentations had ideas that can be used in our company, and we can apply the others in the future when the company is more robust.
