What do you like best about this course?:
The availableness of the TA was extraordinary. Was even available on Sundays.
The information present was straightforward.
I never seen any TA open his office hour for entire week to just help students. You are the best TA ever in my life.
The TA was very helpful with answering questions and would go the extra mile in order to help us understand what we're learning. He posted lots of helpful links that helped with the material we were learning and was one of the best calc TA's I've had so far.
Fei Qi was a great TA and instructor. I was exposed to a lot of material during the lecture but Mr. Qi really made the ideas and methods concrete for me to learn and grasp. Great person!
This TA is really helpful. and funny
There were a lot of parallels between this and my other courses
Qi has a passion for mathematics and this comes across in the way he teachers and students respond to it.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
More examples on board
Nothing
Probably the same. Maybe add some workshops.
hold 2 recitations because 1 may not be enough
none
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
N/A
Inspired critical thinking, and presented information clearly.
Fei Qi emphasizes LEARNING over grades which makes him one of the few among the University. This is far more effective as a student to understand the material completely. Every course should have Fei Qi teaching.
Help me establish methodology of solving math problems
He encourages us to use maple to solve problems we can't by hand
Qi made me want to work and study harder just to not let him down
He was very thorough in clearing up any questions from the lecture and provided a lot of supplementary material
Other comments or suggestions::
Great TA. Very clear and extremely helpful.
Thank you very much!
