At an MIT professor in the 1960s, Prof. Koster was always well prepared and professional. Some of us students favorably categorized him as a good teacher, an easy grader, and an admirable guy.

Prof. Koster taught my recitation section of 8.031 at MIT in 1963. My friends and I looked up to him as a splendid teacher and a fine man.
