Miss Xu was an effective lecturer and teacher. … I feel she was able to efficiently teach the 10 weeks of material in the 5 week period she was given.
The instructor’s teaching was always clear and understandable.
The course was structured very well and the video lectures were helpful in carrying out the required lessons. This is especially impressive for a 5 weeks summer course, where everything goes by quickly.
In the second half of the quarter, the instructor applied our feedback that she asked us to give. I really appreciate it, because it means that she was willing to listen and adjust accordingly for our learning needs.
Her teaching is clear and helpful. … This teacher is absolutely excellent at teaching.
Miss Xu is an amazing teacher who’s always there for me when I needed help and answered my emails right back.

Hands down, Lusha is one of the best TAs I have had the luck of teaching me. Without Lusha, I strongly believe I would not have passed this course. … She was super understanding, and would go out of her way to help explain any questions students had.
A great TA who always likes to review material to make sure every student learns what was taught.
Straight forward and no beat around the bush. TA Lusha completely understood the subject and made sure that each discussion section was important to me. She also went above and beyond when asked a question. A great TA!
Ms. Xu was very patient and had an approachable demeanor when asking a question. She showed up for 7 am discussions and that alone is commendable. She explained the material clearly and effectively.
Lusha is an extremely great TA who goes over the correct material to help students understand what the teacher expects of them on the exam. … She is also very good at explaining how to solve problems as she’s writing them out on the board so we can understand the thought process.
She was a very patient TA and her worksheets were helpful and easy to understand.
TA Xu is organized and knowledgeable about the material. She thoroughly understands the subject matter and gives useful feedback regarding the course’s assignments and projects. She’s a really good TA.
Lusha was an extremely helpful TA. She explained all of the common mistakes that students would make in their code. She also provided some tips on answering the homework questions.
Diligent and organized.
