Reviews from Students :
"Wish Bridgette had taught the whole course, she is bar far the better of the two lecturers".
"Bridgette explains and gives comments after students’ presentations. She also teaches us how to think strategically. It is interactive in her lectures".
"Lectures are systematically structured and concepts are clearly explained. Step-by-step approach".
" Duncan and Bridgette are easily two of the best professors to have taught us yet, according to me. Their teaching methods and styles were very well received by the class as a whole from what I tell".
"The lady in question really brought the case study alive. Both lecturers were both entertaining and informative. I will rate her"
"Good use of cases, models, thoughts and engaging style"
Bridgette is one of the very best. She knows the subject and like a mother feeding a baby, feeds the subject to her students. She makes it interactive, getting examples from students to drive home her point and frameworks. She is an excellent teacher.
A very good lecturer, clear focused and draws attention. Excellent, lively, informative, engaging style.
