What do you like best about this course?:
I enjoyed working through the complex concepts introduced in class and applying them in these workshops.
Chloe was very helpful and very understanding when students had questions.
It was casual.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
I would provide practice exams and go slower when introducing complicated topics.
Maybe find similarities between TA and the professor. I just felt there were large differences in ways of doing problems which tended to be a little bit confusing.
I may do slightly more difficult examples.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
The instructor did her best to work through complicated material and pushed the students to come to the answers together by pushing the students and framing her responses in such a way for the student to work through the problem themselves rather than just giving up on the student and either giving the answer or leaving the student to fend for themselves.
Her love for math was definitely inspiring. Always making sure that students were following her thought process and by doing it in a way that they understood the best was very helpful.
Providing help.
Other comments or suggestions::
restructure the class so that there is more organization, and create the workshop assignments so that they relate to the class and the book material being taught during that week.
