What do you like best about this course?:
Teacher is very friendly; he closes the distance by memorizing every single students' name after one or two classes albeit having a total of 7,80+ students - impressive. When asking for help in office hours, he provides much assistance and simplifies explanations in a good way.
The small size of the recitation allowed for many questions to be answered personally.
It helped review subjects in calculus class that might have otherwise been left confusing to understand
Matt did a great job of answering our questions, and helping us through the hard concepts. He was very relatable.
Mr. Charnley knows a lot about calc and it really helped me understand the material better when he went over it in recitation.
The clarity in explaining the information.
I liked my instructor's teaching style and the way he thoroughly taught us what we needed to know before the quiz. I also appreciated his willingness to help us by having office hours and helping me over email.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Possibly check what the homework problems were to better understand the confusion that students have.
Nothing, I thought he did a good job.
Nothing
Keep it the same!
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
It helped as a sort of review on subjects and give the same lesson from a different teacher.
Attitude towards class is very positive and instructor was always in a good mood
He has helped me understand calculus better.
None
He helped my intellectual growth and progress by teaching me different methods to do problems, and encouraging us to ask questions.

What do you like best about this course?:
he was very effective in helping everyone who didn't understand the information in lecture understand it through his class
TA is really helpful!
He goes over things quickly
Definitely not my grades but I do like finding things out and linking concepts. The TA is helpful and supportive of that, even when its not during his office hours I have emailed him and received a quick response with help but not a totally detailed solution-- he helps you solve the problem.
The effective teaching.
The reviewing of the material learned in class
practice is helpful
It was a great supplement to the regular lectures. Being able to go over various questions and topics that maybe were not covered to the desired depth in lecture was greatly helpful.
I improved on simple algebra…
That it was very easy
helped me understand further understand materials I learned in lecture
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
nothing
Maybe use better examples or relate more to the professor
I would immediately quit because I suck at calculus. But seriously I would probably not do anything differently. The TA is great.
Nothing.
nothing
more practice and review
Nothing comes to mind.
I really don't know considering the fact that I can hardly do math, so probably nothing.
Probably make webwork more user friebdky
nothing
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
made me understand the content even more
I mean it taught me math. So. There's that.
He just helped me understand the material. It isn't a easy subject for me to understand, but he made it easy for me to understand.
He helped clear up any of the material that was confusing to me in lecture
practice and review
He worked to make sure that every student's questions were answered to their satisfaction. He helped me achieve a deeper understanding of calculus, a topic I expected to struggle with.
Every time I failed a quiz, it would encourage to try to do better.
He taught in a very easy to understand manner
I know now how to study for math classes
Other comments or suggestions::
The TA is really nice and chill. Give him a raise or something lol
I would definitely recommend this TA to other students.
more classes, it's too short
Calculus is hard, I liked the TA, it was the subject that was difficult for me.
Hes a very good TA, very helpful
Great job Charnley

What do you like best about this course?:
I hate calculus, but the TA did his best in his teachings. I appreciated that.
The instructor was very prepared and taught in a way which assisted in the understanding of the concepts taught in lecture.
His teaching style
He went over the lectures in summary and answered specific questions
He was extremely helpful when anybody had questions.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Nothing.
I honestly wouldn't do anything differently; for an instructor teaching for the first time, he did an excellent job and his teaching methods are fine as they are.
Provide more explanation
Nothing
There is nothing more to do differently.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
None.
I learned new ways to solve problems and it reinforced my understanding of the course material that was taught in lecture.
Helped me understand the concepts faster
Michael made a calculus easier to understand. He was very approachable and I didn't ever feel hesitant asking questions in class. I think you would make a great professor one day because he's very enthusiastic about this class and clearly cares a lot about his students. The one thing I would encourage him to do is to speak a bit more clearly when explaining the steps to a problem. Other than that I thought Michael was an excellent recitation instructor
Instructor answered any questions asked
He really helped me whenever i had a problem, thus he helped me improve on difficult questions.
Other comments or suggestions::
None.
None.
He was very fun and the class was enjoyable.
