Clips/Examples of Student Feedback:
"Hayley structured discussion sections very well. She gave us time to work through problems on our own and then explained them clearly and in great detail. She was very easy to learn from. I felt that she greatly increased my understanding of the subject matter."
"Hayley was enthusiastic and excellent at explaining course materials."
"I would go to lectures have no idea what was happening and then attend Hayley's discussion class and everything would suddenly make sense."
"Hayley was the best GSI I’ve ever had. She was so organized and did so well at condensing all our content into simple explanations. Her discussion section classes were so efficient at helping me understand content in such a short time."
"Hayley was a very important resource for me during the transition to online learning. She was always helpful, supportive, and seemed to care about teaching her students."
"Hayley was such a great GSI at explaining the calculus involved in the problems!! It helped me so much in preparation for the exams and discussion section was the most valuable part of this course for me in order to succeed on the exams."
"A PERFECT GSI, her section always provides more help than the lecture does. She is super smart and really good at explaining the theory and questions, one of the best I've ever met."
"I found Hayley's explanations very clear and helpful. She was very kind, respectful, and approachable, and really helpful and understanding of students having a hard time. At the same time, she was a very effective instructor."
