Anonymous : Professor Michelle Yik explained all the concept in an excellent, professional and enthusiastic way. I learned a lot about the effect of cultures on our personal growth and on our understanding of the world around us. I was able to see the difference between the western culture and the Chinese one, and I tried all through the course to analyse my personal growth from different perspectives. What I liked the most is the analysis of Love, through the Sternberg Triangular Theory of love.
