Thoroughness and Ability to learn things quickly

Weaknesses / Areas for improvement
None that I can think of

Excellent in all three presentations. He presented to a large group and explained the implementation of quartz. His written
reports were thorough. His documentation was consistent and always complete.

Excellent. He solved some of the trickiest problems we were facing by going deep down in research.
Was he/she receptive to feedback and constructive criticism? Did he/she use that information to improve their
work?
Yes on both counts.
