FAU students love our industry speakers, as class evaluations regularly show. This semester, DATEV eG, stands out. Both talks by Victor Sauermann and Ulf Schubert received a lot of praise verbally, and we also received it again in the class evaluations. Picking from a number of similar comments, here is what one student wrote:
Die Gastvorlesung zum Thema User Interface Design (DATEV) war sehr gut!
Very German :-) and to the point. You can learn more about DATEV eG at CeBIT and about Herrn Schubert on his blog.
