Comments:
The lab classes were “very helpful”, “doubt clearing class” along with new material. Bayarmaa makes good extensions for the lectures and “clearly explains” the problem sets for us. The course is “well explained” and “elaborated” during the Lab session”. She cleared “all the doubts”. She also “replied to the emails” with questions “very efficiently” and “fast”.

She helps us to understand “every problem set” and answers the questions. The demonstrations regarding the models that we were supposed to build in assignments were “made clear” in this class. The introduction of “individual practice trial” was “very helpful”. That is, we were randomly selected through a ballot to demonstrate an exercise on the board, after which the TA explains and makes necessary corrections. This helped me ensure I do my part by making sure I solve the problem well. However, there are numerous cases where I made mistakes that the TA addressed after my first trial. This approach also made learning “very engaging” and helped me “built confidence” in tackling problems. Bayarmaa was “extremely helpful” in providing examples in our lab sections. She would not give the immediate answer to our problems but find a suitable similar problem or approach that would lead us to think and discuss with her, “till we were able to figure out the problem and solved it ourselves”. Honestly, I consider myself lucky, because she really cares about her students and always wants to help them succeed.
