What do you like best about this course?:

The TA knows nothing about the course materials. She is not able to answer our questions when we asked her.

Simplicity of the material for the 1st exam

The professor made learning this subject not too difficult

Learning the applications of the concepts

I like the pace of the course and how much time is spent on each topic.

The teaching assistant for this course explained everything even better than the professor did!

Availability of chloe.


If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:

I would do more examples when the students asked me questions.

Add a recitation

I wouldn't have 60 percent of our grade be dependent on just the final

Had some issues contacting TA, stopped answering emails and was canceling office hours while still unresponsive on email. Made it hard to get help for the class

I did not like that there was no physical recitation and just recitation videos posted.

I would hold more review sessions with the TA, as she explained the material in a way that really helped me understand it.

Give more exams or room for credit

Nothing


In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:

Not at all.

I've always liked math, this just reinforced it a little more

n/a

I only went to one of her review sessions, the one before the midterm, and I am planning on going to the one before the final. She was very organized, and she explained things very clearly.

none


Other comments or suggestions::

N/A

I didn't attend her office hours and there were no recitations so I don't feel like I can accurately rate her at all

if he were a little more easy about partial credit it would be nice considering 90 percent of our grade depends on just two exams

Thank you for clarifying so much in this course!
