Student Evaluations
Some notable reviews:
- "Aidan was super helpful during the experiments but made sure to guide us in the right direction rather than give us the answers, he's one of my favorite TAs thus far!"
- "Aidan was an excellent TF who was supportive of every student in the lab. He did a great job clarifying concepts and generally helping out in every lab, and his feedback was constructive and clear."
- "He was always willing to answer questions and guide you in the [right] direction [if] you were lost"
- "Aidan was extremely fun and helpful, and he helped us to get through a lot of the more confusing parts of the lab instructions!"
- "Fair, engaged, encouraging. Aidan is the best TA to walk the Earth!"
