		<description>Hi Abdul,

Overall UPenn is a great university, but IMHO the MCIT program is weak. I dropped out of it after two classes. My grades were fine, I just didn't feel the benefit I was getting was equal to the effort I was putting in. The workload was very heavy, and the relatively poor quality of the instruction made it difficult to get through. Often our assignments would rely on code libraries written by the prof, and half the time his code would be buggy, and the students would have to spend time in class convincing him of it.

I had the same teacher for both classes, which means it's quite possible the other profs are better.</description>
