What do you like best about this course?:
She breaks down the material so you can learn where everything you're learning comes from.
She is actually really good at this job and addresses all the small details that we would have problems.
the calculus
Review before each quiz
Teacher was friendly and helped students when they needed it
The TA was great, she was really helpful.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
A little longer hours for class. I'd ask for longer office hours, but do I really want to do that?
teach more
I think it would be good to prioritize going over the sections because there were many instances when we ran out of time and the sections were not covered. Other than that when we actually get to the sections the explanations are very helpful.
I would recommend office hours for extra credit on quizes
Nothing
nothing
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
She is the best TA I've ever had, really knows what she's talking about, and does well communicating tough subjects.
By addressing each problem individually, it helps you learn a bit.
by giving me poor grades
She encouraged me to do well when i had fallen behind.
not sure
Other comments or suggestions::
She was the best recitation teacher I've had so far. The only thing I would change is that she tends to take a bit too much time on each problem. This wouldnt be a problem without the time constraint, as it is helpful, but I would rather go over 3 or 4 problems in general detail than 1 or 2 in great detail.
God bless recitation.
Becky is a BOSS
Rebecca explained the concepts covered in lecture really clearly, giving an explanation on how several theorems came to be and also explaining the methodology to solving problems.
Great instructor really made concepts we learned clearer.
