    On behalf of my team, we would like to thank the school, and especially Marcel for the informative course we had. Having gone for many data related courses over the past 8 years, this is one, if not the most enjoyable and informative course I attended. This is especially so because Marcel was very knowledgeable in this area and could address many of the technical queries we had. The team was most impressed by this.
