Students' feedback

Below a selection of the most flattering (and rewarding) comments I received from my students over the years:

“Dear Martina, thank you so much for all your help and support throughout this whole capstone process. We so appreciate it! With utmost respect, your capstone group.”

"This was the best economics module I've ever had, and Martina is the best economics lecturer I've had. [...]"

"Martina is one of the most brilliant teachers I have ever encountered in my student career. While you listen to her teaching you can clearly see that she has a deep understanding of her subject, which is also shown by the fact that she always manages to answer all the question she is asked in an effective way. Besides, she is able to make a complex subject like econometrics simple to understand for anyone, through real world examples, associations, intuitions. Not only is she incredibly smart, but she is also extremely humble and approachable , which is another characteristic I really appreciate of her. She would always stop at the end of her class to clarify my doubts and help me go beyond the material dealt with in class, welcoming my desire to know more, always with a big and heart-warming smile. [...]"

"Martina is WONDERFUL. She is so patient, kind and thoughtful in her answers. Coming from a non-quantitative background, I was quite concerned about this class and feel nervous to speak up. Martina is able to read the classroom however and engage students no matter their level. I also appreciate the time she dedicates outside of the classroom to help us understand different concepts. I appreciate Martina so much!"

"I love Martina's style of teaching. Even though my classes were entirely on zoom, she managed to explain everything very clearly and to make the most of our hour together. Especially helpful was the use of the iPad. I think that the way Martina explains intuitively these complex concepts is very helpful."

"Martina is a fantastic teacher. She is very knowledgable and is able to speak to any of our questions. She makes the seminars exciting and fun to be in, and does a great job at articulating these complex issues. She has also made herself very available to all of us if we need additional help."
