“Humberto was an excellent TA for this course and honestly it was motivating to see an upper year student with his level of knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm teaching this material. It's not easy to work through some of the exercises we did on the spot and he would always do a great job. I also appreciated that he would send follow-up emails if there was a question we didn't get to or a step he needed to double check with the exercise. Prepared & Professional - Humberto took teaching the discussion section very seriously. I would imagine that he spent a significant amount of time each week selecting and working through examples, finding resources, etc. etc. This did not go unnoticed and is really appreciated!!!!”

“Humberto cares about teaching and during discussion he made his best effort to cover the material from class by solving problems and providing with intuition and clear steps on how to solve problems. He made sure to incorporate student's feedback when it was provided. He would make sure student's questions were answered during the discussion and during office hours. The TA was also willing to provide an additional final exam review session even after the semester had ended. He also graded assignments in a timely manner. I recommend this TA to continue teaching this course.”
