Comments / Thoughts / What You Learned / Challenges: It was interesting to see the different approaches everyone took to developing the app, and also what everyone felt was necessary to include. I feel I learned a lot, but I would have enjoyed this rotation more if it was more hands-on as opposed to mostly lectures.
