– The program offers a good mix of theoretical and practical learning. The lectures are insightful, and they are taught in a way that encourages discussions and participation. The teachers effectively create an environment where students can confidently express their viewpoints and become active participants. Furthermore, the assignments and projects, whether individual or group, have been instrumental in creating a deeper understanding, and in some cases such as the Critical Analysis, provided examples of how it can be utilized using real-world examples.
