I really like Professor Vivian's way of teaching this course! This class focuses a lot more on soft skills rather than the traditional technical concepts, and the class size is also much smaller than usual, which is a pretty brand new experience for me. The activities we do in class are heavily team-based, so these were very good practices for collaboration and communication. Professor Vivian also took the initiative to know everyone in the class (and even took notes of everyone's behavior during class), which shows that she really cares about everyone. She is overall extremely nice and also very helpful during office hours (you can talk to her about anything). In the end, we have to work on a project that requires the group to make a poster, write a report, and present the findings. Not very hard core, but definitely a fun and practical experience to prepare for something you'll encounter during your future work.

Vivian is so easy to talk to whenever I have any questions and concerns. She's very easygoing and her expectations for the course are very manageable since she understands most people taking the class are just waiting to graduate. It's a fun class and I would recommend to anyone taking this class to take it with Vivian.
