From University of Virginia Student Experience of Teaching surveys for my discussion sections. Ratings are on a 1–5 scale; comments are quoted as written.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this section and how effectively Jonathan went over course concepts. He made complex concepts easily understandable and had a very laid back teaching style that made in-class discussion more inviting while still getting down to the core concepts.”
“Jonathan made the content very easy to understand and he always challenged us to think more deeply about theory, something that was critical in writing the essays and doing the exams.”
“His passion was evident, and I felt his direct nature ensured that students were both challenged and entertained. Everyone always wanted to come to discussion.”
“My TA was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared, and his explanations helped clarify difficult concepts and strengthen my understanding of the material.”
“Jonathan consistently created an open and respectful environment by encouraging students to share different perspectives and interpretations of the material.”
“Jonathan was a very welcoming TA who made sure to engage with students on their own level, building a comfortable environment in the class. He welcomed all responses and ideas with an open mind, and made sure students understood content correctly.”
“I felt like I really learned a lot in this class and it definitely increased my interest in this subject!”
