Clearly communicating my understanding of architecture and computing is a wonderful challenge. I encourage students to take an active approach in their learning and exchange ideas within the  local and global learning communities.  My appreciation goes out to the stellar students who catch the essence of my teaching and enrich the assignments with great effort and insight.
