check my answers against yours.

questions we may have!

and fun class. I can’t tell you how
grateful I am to have had you as my professor.
- No J. Thanks
for a great semester! Even though I
struggled a lot, I felt this class was good opportunity to set my
standards straight. I have been
getting tutored throughout this entire semester, but I don’t thin it
helped me as much as I thought. I
hope to pass this class on a somewhat of a good basis. If not, I look forward to seeing you
next semester! Great teaching
techniques.
- We used like ¼ % of the textbook, what happens to
the rest?
- You are definitely one of the best teachers I’ve
ever had. You made it fun. There were just a few times I didn’t
understand what you were talking about, but you always fixed it.
- I just thin as a teacher you were very helpful
when needed and very fair.
Sometimes you did throw me off during the lectures though.
- I thought you did well.
