Here's what our students are saying about working with the ASF on service-learning projects in Software Development courses:

• "Prior to this class, I was not sold on the idea of software development as a potential career. But after seeing all of the aspects of the process, I would love to go into development."
• "I feel I am more prepared in the software development field."
• "The knowledge of Agile software engineering methods has already proven impressive for me at interviews and when speaking with potential employers."
• "I have learned that teamwork is more important than individual talent."
• "I was able to work on a project that matters in the real world."
• "I had never taken a service-learning course before so I did not know what to expect. I am pleased with what I learned from this course."

In fact, in a survey of 46 students who worked with the ASF on service-learning projects, 39 believed their communication skills improved through working on the project, 41 felt their teamwork skills improved, and all 46 agreed they acquired real-world skills that they can apply in their future careers.
