Dear Dr. Fazlagic,
Hope this finds you well and in good spirits.
I am writing to you to provide a testimonial to the learning experience at your lectures as I was informed we could do as such. But first, let me congratulate you on your appointment at the European Commission- it is honour and might I say very 'cool' to have been taught by you!
As for the learning experience and takeaways, below are a few things that I found interesting.
The lectures quite frankly contained more information that I am usually comfortable with but it was not so much that it was counterproductive. The slides were informative and provided insight into knowledge based management quite well. What I really found to be helpful were the real world examples contained within those slides- they made understanding the lessons and recalling them during the exam a whole lot easier! I also liked how you sprung questions on the class and engaged us in a dialogue, letting us share our idea and engage in a discussions (sometimes even arguments!).
The sessions I found to be most engaging however were during our classes. The seemingly random exercises that we did during each class made understanding the theory that was to follow during the lectures much easier to grasp. These sessions also brought the students closer, making new friends a lot easier as we were tasked with generating new ideas and presenting them. It also helped me learn about different cultures and glean an insight into new patterns of thinking. As for the exams, it was good to be tested on application of theory rather than theory alone. I find that I relate to this method of being tested than being asked to write theory word by word off textbooks. I also enjoyed working on the report on Intellectual Property, interesting stuff indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed the classes I had with you Professor. I hope you keep doing what you’re doing and help as many students as you can.
Best wishes for all your future endeavours!
