Hello Sir,   Hope that you are keeping good health and really giving tough assignments to the students.   My number has changed and I lost yours with my phone. (425) 736-2532. Can you give me your number and we can chat sometime?   My Thoughts for your website:   “I joined Syracuse University in 2000 and graduated from Computer Science in 2003. I am currently working at Microsoft, Seattle as a Software Design Engineer in Test. My responsibilities here mainly involve automation of production code for test purposes involving programming in C# and COM.   I like the competition in the company and what it has to offer and I owe it all to Dr.Fawcett. The course work offered by Dr.Fawcett really prepares you for what goes on in the industry and you are ready to take on any challenge. The best thing I ever did after joining Syracuse was to take the CSE 784 class with him, where we did a massive project in the end in very less time. It is not only that the course work is good but it is the quality and structure which are amazing. This course helped me realize the potential within me and things that needed to be worked on. It really gives you a feeling of team work and taste of success after the project completion.     All said about course work, it is not the course work alone that leads me to write this email to Dr.Fawcett explaining what I am doing but it is the respect that I have for him, he is a great individual, one of the very few people that I have met in my life with such a personality.   For all the Indian Cricket Fans, Dr.Fawcett is like Sachin Tendulkar he see’s the ball very carefully(code design) and then goes for the big one(writes code). You should see Dr.Fawcett code and you will understand what I am talking about.”   Thanks   Amit Mohindra
