“Linas is an intuitive, sensitive, generous teacher. He is the best kind of instructor: one who facilitates a student's own discoveries into her project, without any imposition of his own style, preferences, agenda, or ego. I would happily toil away in any course that Linas is teaching!” - Abigail Browde
