"Dima was an excellent GSI. He prepared helpful questions with thorough solutions every week, was available and helpful outside of class, and explained materially really well. He will be a great professor!"
"Dima is one of the best GSI's that I have ever had! He was extremely well prepared for class meetings and office hours. I strive to be a GSI as qualified, knowledgeable and kind as him one day!"
"Dima is fantastic GSI. He always prepares very interesting questions ranging from basic to advanced difficulty which help us not only review but also further apply concepts we have learned in the class. He is encouraging and thinks seriously about questions brought by students."
"Dima deserves the highest evaluations. Thank you for teaching as for a year in such an excellent way. THANK YOU"
"Dima is a fantastic GSI. He was always well–prepared and clearly cared about making sure we understood the material."
"He explained things very clearly during the section and always asked if we were confused and answered our questions. His office hours are helpful as well and he was always willing to meet with students."
"Dima is a really good instructor. He is very organized, knowledgeable, and responds to the needs of students very thoughtfully. All questions that are asked in class are answered in depth –– if not immediately, they are addressed in the next class. Dima also does a great job at listing out the steps of a problem and identifying how we go from one part of the problem to another."
