I also appreciated the opportunity to exchange perspectives and insights with peers from different backgrounds and markets. The professors provided thorough, constructive, and timely feedback throughout the program, which greatly enriched the learning experience.

Lutz Finger is easily one of the best…
Lutz Finger is easily one of the best professors I’ve had. I took his class Designing and Building AI Solutions and his workshop Building AI Agents, and both were among the most valuable parts of my program.
I came into the class already interested in AI, but Professor Finger helped sharpen the way I think about it. What made him stand out was how dynamic he was. I enjoyed bringing him difficult questions about AI, agents, business applications, limitations, and where the technology is heading. He would take those questions seriously, research them further, and often build future discussions around them. That made the class feel alive instead of static.
He does not teach AI as a buzzword or a slide-deck topic. He teaches it as something you design, build, test, question, and apply. His courses connected technical architecture, business value, implementation, and strategy in a way that felt directly useful. He pushed us to think clearly about what problem we were solving, why AI was the right tool, and what it would take to make the solution work in the real world.
The Building AI Agents workshop was especially strong. It gave a practical view of how agents are built, where they are useful, where they break down, and how to think about them beyond the hype.
Professor Finger is engaging, current, and genuinely intellectually curious. He brings real experience and strong insight into the classroom, but he also responds to where the conversation is going. That made his classes feel relevant, challenging, and unusually practical. I would strongly recommend any class or workshop taught by him.

Outstanding course, highly recommend!
I recently completed the Restaurant Revenue Management course through eCornell and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The course materials were very well laid out and easy to follow. I particularly appreciated the way we worked through the different models. It made complex concepts clear and practical. I have no constructive criticism to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course and would highly recommend it to anyone in the hospitality industry looking to sharpen their revenue management skills. I am looking forward to putting what I have learnt into practice.

I am not sure it was great
I am not sure it was great, but it was fine. I would have liked real interaction with the professor. I was disappointed to find that Cornell used Cornell ChatGPT extensively in this course...I could do that directly with the program.
