Professor Frezzo is one of my favorite professors at UMD. He is incredibly supportive and wants his students to succeed. If you are interested in pursuing a career in IT, he is a great person to ask for advice. INST347 is a relatively new course at UMD so it did feel a little unorganized at times, but as someone that wanted to learn more about cloud and virtualization, I found it to be a valuable course. I did wish it leaned more into obtaining a certification but not every student is interested in that. I would have liked to have had more labs during the class as well. Frezzo is very easy on grading so even if you are not well-versed in the topic, you will probably still finish with a good grade. The final project sucked to work on, but that was because of hardware issues related to the Arduino board. I hope that in the future the final is hosted on a more stable platform so we can focus more on cloud implementation rather than troubleshooting hardware/connection issues.
