TA: Improvements
Always knowledgeable, excited to help, and glad to give tips or explain what needs to be explained.
The TA was able to go through each topic clearly and work examples in a very clever way.
Great vibe within the classroom
His ability to take material from the lecture and explain it while working through the recitation problems
Understanding Students perspective on difficult topics. He ws able to communicate processes of problems effectively.
Ability to explain concepts in more than one way, and always check to see if students were understanding the material. If we were not, he would figure out which step he lost the majority of the class and try to explain the step in a different way.
Very approachable and helpful
Availability, always open to meet and discuss topics.
Very nice and respected his students.
Stephen had an ability to teach the material very similar to Grodzinzky, in a method that was the same each time, and taught the importance in understanding each step as well.
doing examples with the class to make sure we understood the concept
Great ability at explaining problems and concepts
How he helped students through the worksheets and wouldn't let them leave without a good understanding.
Very easy to understand and helpful
Stephen is hands down the best TA I've had at Tech. He clearly loves what he does and goes above and beyond what I expected of him. I would go to his office hours when my lab let out early, and he almost always stayed late, answering everyone's questions. Truly lucked out in having him as my TA. I would love to have him again.
Very enthusiastic and knew calculus very well. Always willing to help and made time for his students. Wanted to be there teaching and explained problems really well and made sure we understood
Explanations that did not simply give answers, but helped improve student learning. Such a great TA!
TA: Greatest strength
