Seletive Comments from students
Honestly one of the best TA's I have had
The method of walking through and explaining problems is brilliant. I don't think I've had an economics teacher so far that really breaks down the logic of the question and helps students understand what is happening. In a 5 week course, the break down of homework or practice problems makes the content very digestible.
Hyunjin always did a great job of balancing teaching us the code we would need for assignments while simultaneously teaching us the necessary formulas and theories that we would need to understand how the code was working allowing us to interpret it more accurately.
