"Dr. Liu Su’s presentation was insightful and engaging, and as a School, we appreciated the opportunity for interaction and learning. Integrating the Case Method into our programs would greatly enhance practical learning and critical thinking among students, and it is certainly one of the approaches we are considering in both teaching and assessment. The workshop was well organized and impactful."
