Human Element Leadership & Management (HELM)

For this class, taught by Mike and Pete, I can't think of anything to improve. I found it to be a very valuable course as having never done a leadership course before. I took a lot out of it primarily due to the way that it was taught. The interaction and wealth of knowledge about the subject matter by the instructors will stay with me for years to come.
