“…In a single academic course, Maya Elhalal and Prof. Schoken have succeeded to demonstrate the bridge between the academic and professional world. By covering ideas, methodologies and products, Maya explained how new Internet ventures emerge and operate and shared her profound knowledge that even experienced users could benefit from.
The course project encouraged me to initiate my first blog, what I wanted to do for a long time before.
Course was so interesting that I could not skip a session, additionally, her selection in guest speakers, CEOs and highly accredit entrepreneurs, made the course far more attractive than any other traditional Internet course I have ever attended.
