Enjoy learning with excellent professors here!

The staff provided me useful information since I got the offer. I could plan my learning with no obstacles almost. They prepared lots of workshops to help us get used, which did make sense. Although I can not study on-campus because of the pandemic, I gained much from the professors, especially Dr. Alex Jingwei He. A charming speaker who shared a large number of real cases made it so fun and unforgettable. He encouraged us to show our thoughts in class. Besides, He explained to us the obscure and professional terms with patience. His classes weren't easy but I got into it and enjoyed it.
