Member Praise for Robert Todd
Robert Todd is engaging, knowledgeable and humorous (the last being important to me, maybe not to other people). I learned a lot and am using AI every day.
The class's far ranging history and knowledge of technology, knowledge transfer, and ai was terrific. Fun to see a professor so excited about their topic.
