Excerpts from Teaching Evaluations:
"Professor Aqeel is a wonderful professor. she was truly accommodating to me in every aspect of this course and I couldn't be more thankful for who she is not only as a professor but as a human being." - Senior Seminar in Gender and Development
"I learned a lot more about why our society is structured the way it is and how it benefits certain people and not others...It made me think more deeply about systemic inequalities in America.... I think Professor Aqeel was fantastic. Her course was my favorite this semester, and I loved coming to class." - Gender in the Economy
"I thought Professor Aqeel was a very passionate and talented teacher. She engaged the class and connected what we were learning to real life examples. She always answered emails quickly and was free to go to office hours. While this class is a challenging course at Colgate, she helped her students better understand the course material." - Introduction to Economics
