COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS ON THEIR UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS AND PEER RESEARCH MENTORS "Tiffany is a great TA. I cannot believe she is an undergrad. I'm a fourth year and she has been better than all my other graduate TA's combined. Well prepared and informed!" -Winter 2005 "Mike was quite a TA. I really can't think of another TA with more energy, style and openness than Mike. I really had a great time in the class, and it often released much pressure of the day. The great thing about Mike is that he puts everyone at ease, and suddenly it didn't feel like a class but an open seminar. He encouraged everyone to speak and made it ok to not know or to be wrong. I felt that I learned a lot about speaking up in his session. Thanks Mike! It was a thrill to have you as my TA."-Winter 2005 TESTIMONIALS FROM UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS AND PEER RESEARCH MENTORS ON THEIR EXPERIENCE IN HC70A AND/OR HC70AL Mike Ferry HC70A Winter 2003 & HC70AL Spring 2003 "From my experiences teaching with Dr. Goldberg I now wish to continue teaching in the future and I am seriously considering an academic career."
