I taught Adam in the Business Analysis course at Griffith University in 2011. This course is accredited by the International Institute of Business Analysis and requires high level skills in systems analysis, enterprise analysis and problem solving. Students work in groups to analyse real world information systems problems. Adam excelled in every area. He has a great talent for synthesising large amounts of information, has very good interpersonal and communications skills and always behaves in a professional and courteous manner. One of the best students in my 30 plus years of teaching!
