What do you like best about this course?:

fei is great

Great teacher! He teaches with passion and I like him so much!

I like that he teaches the material in a concise way that the students understand what's going on

Amazing TA

Anything that i didnt understand during lecture was taught very well during recitation or during Fei's office hours. This TA put a significant amount of his own time into helping his students and it was very appreciated.

The subject

The grading scheme was very fair and the class was organized. The teaching methods were also effective and I learned a lot.

The teacher assistant was very patient with this course and taught the class very well.


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

nothing. he is a great teacher

Nothing

Nothing at all

Use a bigger black board

Nothing.

I would not do anything different except give easier quizzes.


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

he makes the information much simpler to understadn

The instructor changed my view on mathematics, he is easily the best TA i ever had, you can tell he cares about how his students are doing.

The instructor has encouraged my intellectual growth and progress by always making clarifications to tricky concepts and problem solving techniques and being available for extensive office hours.

This course had the class participate a lot and that encouraged the growth of many students as well as me.
