What do you like best about this course?:
The opportunity to work with other students.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
I think that if we went over the relevant material during, say, the first half of recitation, it would be useful in understanding the material.
Ask review questions, at the beginning, related to previous workshop to keep past ideas fresh in the students' heads.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
Rebecca is the best TA that I've had for my three years at Rutgers. She has been always willing to help and assist students, no matter how redundant their questions were.
Rebecca has encouraged me to pursue abstract algebra at a higher level which I did not expect to want to do at the beginning of the semester.
