What Students Say about My Class CMS306M: Professional Communication Skills?
"She was understanding to students and truly cared for her students. She also was helpful with clarifying any questions students had."
"Great, approachable, and really good at explaining the criteria for our assignments."
"I really liked how personalized the class felt, and how I was able to develop genuine connections with my peers and felt that the instructor cared about my learning/progress."
"Yixuan was very clear about her expectations for the assignments and the course overall, and was also very encouraging. She created an atmosphere where people could feel comfortable talking in front of others, and you could tell that she really wanted everyone to improve in their public speaking skills."
"She was enthusiastic about the coursework, kept us engaged in her presentations, and offered all the resources and information needed to succeed."
"I think the most effective thing I could have learned from this was to move on from social anxiety and being in front of the class speaking to an audience. I has difficulty in past years of my life moving and this class made it possible."
"I liked how we were able to talk to classmates and sometimes do group activities. I think it was helpful since I was able to see issues from different perspectives and was able to work with a diverse group of people."
"What I enjoyed in this course was that Professor Liu was a someone that was willing to help her students out. If we had a presentation that we needed her opinion on, she was always available. If you told her if she could move your presentation to another date she would change it for you. She also was a great teacher. For her lectures, she always tried to include examples and activities to help her students. Overall, I feel like this course will be tremendously helpful in the future, and it's thanks to Professor Liu."
