TEACHING REVIEWS

Harvard College:

“I am so lucky to have AJ as my section leader. He is very genuine and personable, which contributed to making section lively. He is great at explaining and reviewing concepts we've learned in the class. If you are confused on a topic and need clarification, he is extremely accessible and will meet with you until you are no longer confused.”

“A Jay ran extremely effective sections. He was able to explain information from lectures in a way that made sense to everyone. He answered everyones questions and created an environment where people felt comfortable speaking up and asking those questions.”

“AJ was a great TF. He presented the information very clearly and was super helpful in answering our questions. I always left section with a much better understanding of the material, and he always made sure that we understood what he was saying before moving on. I honestly wish more TF's at Harvard were like AJ - I felt that he really cared that we understood the material. He also was a very enthusiastic TF which made coming to section more enjoyable because it felt like he wanted to really engage with us each time. I have never taken an economics course at Harvard, but he explained the concepts related to economics in such a way that it made things very clear to me!”

University of Michigan:

“AJ and Dori were amazing - so well organized and incredibly clear with such a complex topic - would recommend to anyone! I feel all frustrated MDs should take their course.”

“I enjoyed the format of the class and assignments. Having the flexibility throughout the semester to complete 10 out of 12 memos was very much appreciated for a busy adult learner. This caused me to read the articles more thoroughly and be prepared for class. Also enjoyed the group project and paper. Great way to learn from others both as you are working on the projects and also as you listen to other team's present. Thank you for "mixing up" the expectations. Content was interesting especially in terms of where technology might take us and understanding limitations. Having AJay was a great add. Nice that he could add into the chat discussions and also during the on campus sessions. Truly enjoyed the class. Thanks to both!”
