Student feedback
Marian demonstrated excellent communication skills from the outset. During our initial meeting, she was designated as the Team Lead for our group of three, despite us not knowing each other beforehand. She displayed a high level of knowledge, confidence, and commitment to the task at hand. Marian was direct, open to suggestions, and consistently provided thoughtful solutions. It was a pleasure working with her, and I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.
