Teaching

Selected student comments:

• "I really appreciated how Professor Vance would break down a lot of complicated graphs when people had questions about more specific topics. In a class as technical as this one, I think it is difficult to make student questions helpful to the entire class, but most of the questions that other people asked were connected to a broad topic, which brought deeper insight to the subject, even if I did not have the question that the student asked. "

• "Professor Vance would typically explain each concept in more than one way, which provided me with a better understanding. "

• "The teacher would always leave much room for questions, which would help clarify points during lessons. "

• "One of the most effective aspects regarding learning in this course was the consistency of how material was presented. There was no need to struggle to adjust to the instructors teaching methods. "
