Hadfield ’08, who is enrolled in the course, credited Edwards for his accessibility, noting that “he meets with students every week to discuss their projects.” Other students laud his habit of challenging his pupils to go beyond their academic comfort zones. “Harvard needs more professors like him,” Sandra L. di Capua ’07, who is also enrolled in the course, wrote in an e-mail. “Professors that inspire...
