Yesterday I got the best Christmas present (so far!)
At the end of each term, mixed feelings between the relief and the goodbye of +40 international students.
As a farewell, this treasure of comments, with their assessment of my Strategic Brand Management classes at ESCI-UPF University:
– The best was the energy of the teacher. She was funny and we learned through her.
– Working together and sharing ideas was my favorite part of the course.
– I think the best is that you combine the theoretical approach with practice!
– I liked how this course pushed us to really be creative and it almost felt like we were actually working on a real company while making the group work.
– The professor perfectly manages to mix both being caring and a challenging professional.
– I want to say a big thank you! This course helped me to understand what I want to do in my life.
– It was one of the best courses I ever had. I’m sure that with your work you not only teach the student, but also motivate them to do their life’s better.
– I learned a lot about creative branding, strategic thinking, presentation styles and even a lot about myself.
