Alex teaches the class by using critical thinking to understand and discuss global events. Before the class begins, he send an article to introduce the topic and a set of questions that will guide discussion.

Insightful and helpful

During every discussion, Alex and other peers always express a wide variety of perspectives upon the topics and news. Furthermore, despite that I am not familiar with the news that are going to be discussed during the class, I actually enjoyed the discussion and learnt a lot while doing my own research for the new topics. What makes me even more satisfied is the high quality of teacher-student involvement, which always inspires me to go deeper and wider for the topics.

Very inspirational course with challenging topics. Alex prepared a lot and share many interesting opinions with us. Alex 的問題切入文章重點，引導大家思考的同時也會分享許多自己的觀點，很有趣！

我學到很多很多！課程啟發自己學會用不同的角度思考事件！謝謝老師！

Alex is an incredible teacher, sharing lots of article / news /report with us. He has always provided good insights and listened what we said and given us feedbacks accordingly. The class let me read and know lots of global news and understand whats going on in the world now. As a global citizen, being aware of the world news and having critical thinking ability are very important in nowadays. Thanks Alex, you are nice and patient!

I told my friend that in this class I can not only practice speaking but also learn something political issue 🤣 it’s quite interesting! Thanks a lot!

Alex非常嫻熟於課程討論的主題，並且會提出相關其他的資料協助說明他的論述或同學們的論點。課堂前會收到文章，文章會有幾個引導的問題，可以透過那些問題掌握文章重點。部分的問題可能需要自己上網搜尋一些資料看一下，但就算你對這些問題並沒有想法或沒有做更進一步的探索，課堂上如實輕鬆的對答就好，並不必感到有什麼壓力。這堂課雖不專注在單字或文法，但是課堂一開始Alex一定會先問大家對於文章的那些單字或文法有疑惑，可以提出來，他會花時間解釋。Alex不會著重在糾正口說上的錯誤，而且更鼓勵大家盡力用自己的話表達想法。非常推薦想要增加視野的人參加這堂課，very informative！

I really appreciate the way Alex led the discussion. No matter how long the article is, Alex always helped to summarize it into 2 pages along with 4-5 questions for students to think about before the class - that greatly reliefs the pressures of students in preparation work. Alex is very knowledgeable and his class is also inspirational. I always learnt something new from each class, which broadens my horizon. This is definitely the best class I've taken in the recent years. Highly recommend it!

在MDT上上過幾門課，Alex的課是我覺得最最棒，也最喜歡的。Alex除了本身閱讀非常多材料，每次上課都有源源不絕的東西可以分享之外，也很會引導學生的討論。無論多長、多艱深的文章，Alex都會幫忙摘要到2頁以內，並附上4-5題上課過程中一定會討論到的題目，不僅大大降低學生上課前閱讀備課的負擔，也讓學生可以事前先針對題目想過，上課時比較不會臨時缺乏話題想法，無法參與討論。每次上課都會學到很多超越語言本身的知識，拓寬了自己的界限，絕對是MDT上我最推薦的老師及課程!

非常推薦 Alex 老師的課，老師會在課前準備文章，提供相關的討論問題。課程進行中節奏掌握也很好，可以聽到同學們不同的意見。強烈推薦給希望練習口說，或是希望能討論國際時事的人！

Great!

老師很幽默

我推薦這堂課，很值得上。我本身的工作語言是英文，對全球局勢也有一些了解，但每次上課都學到東西。

Always learn something new and interesting in Alex's news discussion class, this time especially the US election.
