Email from Spring 2018 CS3743 Student Good evening Professor Clark, I just wanted to reach out via e-mail because you told us to let you know if this class had an value. Last week I had an interview with <major DBMS vendor> and many of the technical questions were in regards to SQL. They asked me a lot of questions on relational databases and normalization, and writing queries. My final interview was this week, and they called me this morning with an offer! I just thought you should know your hard work and all your help definitely doesn't go unnoticed, and I can credit my success in this interview to your teachings. I hope this brightened your day! Thank you, <spring 2018 CS3743 student>
