Customer Feedback Samuel Pankratz, EF 157 student: Sam received the initial details about the design enthusiastically. He was “excited to see torque acting on different shapes” When presented with the final design, he was amazed by the simplicity of the product. Sam stated, “this is way better than I thought it would be at first.” Dustin Craig, comp. sci. student: Dustin loved the clean, sleek look of the web app. He believed it looked professionally made. He went on to say, “this is way overdone for a physics class. Y’all spent too much time on this.”
