Estrada is awesome, this class is awesome, and his TA (Maureen) is awesome! every class began with a case study, which allowed every student to participate and share experiences, opinions, and facts. Leo's lectures were interesting -- everything talked about is eye-opening and makes you understand the world of planning so much better. The course is not too difficult, but you definitely need to attend lectures and catch up with the readings because it will make preparing for finals/midterms that much more easier -- especially since lectures dont involve powerpoints or online postings so you have to basically be knowledgeable in everything because any topic is fair game for the tests. take this class! you will be glad you did! thanks leo and maureen! :)
