Li Yi Jing, Joy

The course was well-organised and information was mostly able to be digested even by a novice. I appreciated the clarity and diverse mode of lesson delivery.

Lim Peiying

Prof Sheng is a good at reading the room and selecting important moments to take a break so that the class comes back feeling more energised to start the serious work. He takes the time to hear each group's response and offer genuine praises or comments.

I find the skills acquired in this module to be useful in shaping how I think about problems.
