Luke was very knowledgeable, patient, and very open to satisfy my curiosity, for example I asked him to generate errors to see how system will response, etc. He would go above and beyond to answer questions or demonstrate the functionalities, even some of my questions were out of the class scope. He gave me a real experience with the system. I definitely will take another class with him and recommend him as a teacher for others. Thank you Luke!.
