STUDENT REVIEWS
“My TA was very helpful in breaking down complex topics into easier–to–understand ideas and offering practical ways to remember and apply them in real–life settings. Her approach to the class was through conversational discussions, which proved to be very effective. This allowed everyone to build on each other's comments and deepen our understanding of the concepts, rather than it being just a one–way lecture. ”
“ My TA fostered a very positive and inclusive environment by encouraging, but never forcing, participation. Especially during a time when there is so much conflict in the world, she made our discussion sections feel meaningful, engaging, and truly enjoyable to attend.”
“My TA, Pharren, was wonderful in allowing me to grasp course concepts and reading materials. She always made sure that the entire class participated and allowed us to answer homework questions together while also providing her own answers/input.”
“Pharren was a great TA and ensured we were prepped for our readings and lectures. She made sure to make our discussions interactive and a safe place where we could learn and have meaningful discussions.”
