A. Please comment on the following areas and be as specific as possible:
1. What are the instructor’s teaching strengths?
• Awesome guy, very apporichable. Has a great attitude and really cares about the students.
• Everything! Best TA on this planettttt
• Gave the students many opportunities to ask questions but also provoked self teaching and
peer review and help.
• He’s very approachable and very helpful in helping all students in the class.
• He is extremely helpful and always willing to put in the extra time to make sure you are
understanding what is going on. He helps without just providing the answer. He helps us
understand how to think on our own with mini questions that help us get to the right answer
without directly giving it to us.
• He is very dedicated to the students success.
• He was by far the best TA I have had in my four years at UCI. He is very approachable and
encourages all of his students to come ask him for help. Additionally, he explained some of the
more difficult concepts in ways that really made you think about what was actually occurring
in the experiment. He created a very relaxed learning environment and I highly doubt that I
would have enjoyed this lab as much if I had a different TA.
• really REALLY compassionate and friendly and approachable and cool! Also nails the purposes
in your head, which is super helpful in life...
• Shows great enthusiasm in the lab
• speak clearly
• Takes time to explain things, is approachable and knowledgeable of the material being taught.
Often goes into depth on the subject as opposed to just superficially answering a question.
• This TA truly cares for his student’s success. He challenges each and everyone in order to
further understand the material beyond the classroom level.
• This was one of the best TA experiences I’ve had here at UCI. Sam was incredibly helpful and
knowledgeable. He made the laboratory setting fun and interactive and made sure we were
developed our critical thinking.
• Very easy to talk to, he’s always trying to help us do our best but without actually giving us
the answer (which is frustrating when you’re KO’ed with the flu, but other than that it’s okay
:P). I’d say one of the better TA experiences I had!
2. How can this instructor improve as a teacher?
• clarity in the overall meaning and some more detail into the use of specific techniques.
• honestly, nothing.
• I honestly can’t think of anything, Sam was great.
• I think he’s doing a great job. No criticism here.
• N/A. He was great.
• none
• None.
• Nothing stay the way you are!
• Stop threatening to take people’s TA points off D:< jkjk.

• This instructor is doing a fantastic job and does not need to change his approach to teaching.
• 4 blank answer(s).
3. Any other comments about this course?
• He is very direct and helps guide you through the material. I think he made the class a lot
more enjoyable for me.
• It was encouraging to see peers suffer together and survive together...
• N/A

• The best part was Sam’s personality. We had a substitute TA come in once it so night and
day that we really appreciated how good Sam was when he returned.
• This class would’ve been dreadful if you weren’t my TA!
• 8 blank answer(s).
