Student Evaluations
“Nora is an incredibly kind leader in the classroom. She creates a safe environment for diverse view points to flourish, and is very adept at helping students navigate complex and sensitive subject matter.”
“Nora is great! Her section really helps me reflect on the materials and connect the dots. For example, she raises good questions that prompt interesting responses from the audience from new perspectives. She gives really helpful guidance and feedback on assignments, which make the assignments way less stressful than they originally appear. Nora is also really considerate and understanding when students have health or other personal circumstances. I really enjoy my time in her section.”
“Nora is a really effective teacher. She is really good at facilitating discussion, even when her students are not being particularly talkative that day. She is also really respectful of student's needs.”
“Loved Nora! I always felt like I was encouraged to participate and speak up. I loved Nora's thoughtfulness and gentle encouragement and support.”
“Her background in the subject showed in her enthusiasm in leading discussions. She also pushed the group to think more deeply about our readings. Her feedback to assignments were very helpful as well. I took them to heart and was able to use her comments to improve in my assignments.”
“Nora was a wonderful TF this semester. I loved learning about her experiences in relation to the course material. Above all, Nora does a very good job of providing specific and helpful feedback on assignments.”
