What do you like best about this course?:

He was always so energetic and prepared to teach.

He was very on top of our material and answered all of our questions promptly and accurately. He posted Wiki solutions and was very active to answer questions and be there whenever students needed.

Vidit was extremly passionate to teach the course...I would love to take his recitation once again for another class.

He was very enthusiastic even in an 8:40am class.

i like math, and this class gave me more problems to solve, which is something i enjoy if i am able to do it


If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:

None.

Nothing.

Give more practice problems, so students can understand the material better, and well prepared for the exams.

the TA did this already, but i would add more homework problems to do in class. for me, that helps out alot


In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:

He was the best TA I've ever had. He cared about the students and knew how to teach the material, unlike other TA's I've had in the past.

He made the material much simplier and easier to understand than the actual professor and spent time and effort into teaching students.

His enthusiasm about the class made it easier for me to enjoy it.

helped me to pursue in a math career, and possibly help other students by being a TA in the future


Other comments or suggestions::

None.

Vidit Nanda kicks ass.... major ass
