“Nishaad Rao was an excellent GSI. He was incredible at explaining main points from lecture, and his problem sets were a great backbone of what to study. He read the class and their reactions well, and was able to adapt to our needs."
“Nishaad was patient, helpful, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to have as a teacher. He seems like a natural!”
“Nishaad is one of the best GSI’s I’ve had. He brought a great energy to discussions and livened up a Friday afternoon. He was also very helpful and willing to meet with students outside of lectures and discussions. Nishaad was excellent at breaking down the course material into more digestible segments and clearly explaining how the math fit in the logic of the course. I appreciated his clarity, logical thought processes, and friendly demeanor.”
“Rao is the only reason I was able to get through Cho. Truly, U-M is fortunate to have GSIs like Rao.”
