could cope up easily with them after reflection which makes the course great overall.

I think the way the course is designed is very good.

The amount of engaging content and various ways to make us understand the concepts is very helpful. The limited time available in

the class was efficiently used to guide the students to learn the concepts and apply them in appropriate way.

I wanted to thank you for an amazing semester. I really enjoyed your class, and thank you for always being kind, understanding, and helpful! 

Student 17

I appreciate your drive to receive feedback, it expresses your desire to teach effectively and improve your own skills. Additionally, I appreciate that all of our homework has been highly relevant to our topics and exams.

Student 14

I enjoyed the actual enthusiasm for the course it didn't feel like this was just a paycheck and it helped the engagement.

Thank you once again for your dedication to teaching and for your mentorship. I am looking forward to staying in touch and, hopefully, crossing paths again in the future.

Student 12

I also wanted to take the chance to thank you for orchestrating an informative and professional course this semester.

Some of the excel skills we learned especially have helped me in my daily routine. I truly appreciate it!

Student 11

I also just wanted to say thank you for the semester, your very organized and straightforward approach to teaching was very appreciated and made this class easy to follow and I knew every week what was expected of me. And thank you for being so understanding and flexible throughout the semester as well. I wish you well and have a great summer professor!
