Reading the hand-written thank-you letters and cards from my students has always been one of the most rewarding moments of teaching "Leading with Empathy". These heart-warming words give new meanings to my research and teaching.
"I loved every moment and am going to miss your welcoming smile every day. I thought you did such an amazing job teaching this class and your passion for psychology has really inspired me to want to pursue social psychology. You never failed to show us / teach us new and interesting material, and you were always so prepared for the class lessons! I can't wait to go back home and share with my friends, family and teachers all that I have learned! :) I will, without a doubt, recommend this course to anyone I honestly had such an amazing time at Brown. I found that the people were friendly, the course material was new and stimulating, and you were so kind, welcoming, and caring. I will take away so much of this material and I can't wait to try to apply the methods of leadership and empathy that I have been fortunate enough to be able to learn. "
"You constructed a course that brought together many complicated ideas into one cohesive course that evaluates empathy. You made class everyday special with the interactive games and your willingness to have a discussion with students! Every day I was excited to go to class because each day expresses a new aspect of psychology and empathy I didn't even know was there. After this course I might even go to the psychology field! I really appreciate that you opened my eyes to interesting and new topics of study I didn't even know existed... Thank you for one of the best two weeks of my life! In this case, I didn't even mind going to school!"
"I have learnt so much from you and I truly appreciate how dedicated you are to us and our topic of study. You have helped me to identify a new level of interest and passion for psychology and the study of empathy. I am so excited to continue exploring all that I have learnt at Brown, in the future. "
"Thank you for being a great teacher! You have taught me many life lessons that I will continue to use in life everyday. Taking your class really opened my eyes into the field of psychology, Until now, I never considered taking any psychology class in college. I want to become a computer scientist, and then major in marketing. That field, to me, would never consist of psychology -- I thought it would all be math and science classes. But now, after taking your class, I now understand the importance of psychology and perspective taking in a field that I never thought would consist of classes like this."
"Xuan, I honestly don't think I can truly express my gratitude and appreciation of these past two weeks with just a letter. You are such an awesome teacher, and you have been a huge role model for me and will continue to be. i am so, so happy I took your class, and I have learned more than I thought was possible about myself, humans, and the world."
