(* NOTE: This course had weekly sections where I prepared teaching materials and taught students on social science methods and causal inference.)
“Seonhye is probably the best TA I've had at UCLA. She is extremely neat and organized with the course content and her slides are super helpful. She somehow makes even the most complicated concepts seem simpler by how good she is at breaking things down. She seems like she really cares about the students. This is one of the only discussions I've had that I feel really supplements the course well. I met with her to go over my midterm and she was very specific in why she took off points. I could tell she was a very concise and intentional grader, that she puts a lot of effort into what she does. I think she's just really good at her job. I would love to have her as a professor.”
“Seonhye is a delight to have as a TA. She is very knowledgeable about RStudio and extremely meticulous. She also responses in a timely manner and clarify things as soon as she can, if she couldnt provide an answer during section.”
“This class was unreasonably difficult and I do not believe it was appropriately taught for the level of knowledge participating students had going into the quarter. However, the discussion section was a major bright spot in an otherwise grueling class. Seonhye was extremely knowledgable in the subject and was always able to provide succinct and well thought out explanations for the topics that most of the class struggled with on a constant basis. No notes about the discussion section, it was awesome and if I pass this class it will be because of Seonhye.”
“This TA was very helpful and always tried her best in explaining topics to us. She came very organized and all of her presentations paired with the main lecture very well. I felt like if I did not go to section, I was doing a disservice to myself.”
“Seonhye is one of the best TAs I've ever had. She is phenomenal at clarifying concepts and making sure students know which pieces of the lecture are important to know. She is always prepared and her slides are extremely helpful. Not to mention she is extremely quick to grade homework assignments and always provides helpful feedback. She explains concepts clearly and makes complex ideas easy to understand. She is kind and makes sure students feel comfortable reaching out to help. Again, one of the best TAs I've had at UCLA!!!”
“Noh was a saving grace in this course, expanding on everything that the professor either forgot to share or teach in class, helping us understand the corresponding homework attached to the course that was legitimately hard to understand without TA's guidance.”
“Section was SUPER HELPFUL in getting clarification on lecture material. I appreciate that content was broken down and well structured, and also worded in a different way than the prof did. This gave me more comprehensive understanding of the information. Thank you so much! Also very available outside of class and helpful on assignments and explaining how to get to correct answer on HW.”
“Seonhye is one of the best TAs I have had so far at UCLA. She genuinely cares about her students and was always accessible for questions. Her sections were extremely relevant to the lecture material and enhanced my learning of the material.”
"Amazing! One of the best discussions I've ever had. Really expanded on and helped me understand class material."
"CARES A LOT ABOUT STUDENTS AND TRIES TO HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE"
“Even despite the lack of a discussion section component to this class, our TA was wonderful. It was clear that she is super knowledgeable in whatever is being taught in the class. She was very responsive through email and during her office hours, during which she offered some great feedback for the midterm/final presentation & paper planning. She was very kind and made clear the reasoning behind all grades on homework assignments (i.e. if we were docked a point, she would explicitly explain why). Overall, the guidance from the TA made this class more manageable.”
“We did not have a discussion section, but our TA made sure to come to every lecture and put the time into helping us whenever we were stuck. She always made herself available and did such a great job explaining concepts to people, especially since we had a lot of brand–new students exposing themselves to coding for the first time. It was so nice to know I could always reach out and email her for help or just meet with her over zoom or in person to get my work done. Overall, amazing TA and an example for what a TA should be, 10/10!!”
“The Teaching Assistant for this course was very approachable during the lectures and also very helpful through her emails. She is always giving us announcements on Canvas, clearing up any confusion that may have arisen in lecture, or preparing us for the final project and assignments. Overall, she was a wonderful TA and was also very helpful with any issues or questions that were discussed in lecture.”
“Seonhye was a great TA! She was very knowledgeable, always open and responsive to questions, and gave very helpful feedback about essays and grading.”
“grading was a lil harsh but overall the ta is really nice and make sure we learn.”
“Thank you for a memorable senior year. Thank you for making your office hours flexible and helping me with my essays. This quarter, I took your advice to heart and received better grades due to your guidance.”
“The TA seems very knowledgeable of the course and is a fair grader. She explains every thing very well and is accessible outside of class.”
“She was amazing at helping by guiding and supporting me to think through my ideas. Seon hye is a very dedicated TA and truly cares for students who put in the effort. She is also interesting and fun to talk to”
“TA was willing to help and answer questions. Knowledgeable of coursework.”
“This TA was really great! She was helpful in clarifying how to structure essays, gave great feedback when reviewing my work, and always willing to meet up to talk about the essay even outside of her regular office hour times, which was much appreciated. Gave good feedback and guidance especially for the final that was extremely daunting to me, felt better after.”
“Seonhye is amazing! I love how she presents such interesting questions and discussion topics for each section. I like that she takes attendance for our participation grade but the discussion is group discussion-based. She also leaves detailed feedback on our essays which I really appreciate. She is so warm and this creates an environment in which everyone is comfortable sharing. She's one of the best TAs I've ever had!”
“She was a great TA and encouraged discussion of insightful questions surrounding the course material and themes. She was very approachable and made the discussion a welcoming and non-intimidating environment.”
“TA Noh is excellent teacher and grader. Her feedback is helpful and supply very much detail to improve next homework”
“I enjoyed attending section and felt like it was a good expansion upon course content. The presentations were organized and the questions proposed were very insightful and created engaging and educational discourse.”
“Noh was a great discussion leader and gave us insightful questions that forced us to think critically for ourselves rather than just telling us what she thought. She led the discussion very nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of teaching.”
