Feedback from students

• Chuncheng was very supportive and always encouraging students to voice their opinions during our discussion section. He definitely understood the struggles students face in this asynchronous format and made sure we had some structure and normalcy.

• I really liked his feedback on my papers. He was very nice, and his feedback was very personalized and intellectually stimulating.

• Chuncheng = KING. Love him. He is a very cool TA. He always does what he can to help us understand the material and is very engaging with us so that we know what is going on in class. Love him!

• I think one of his greatest strengthens was being able to transition to online classes and facilitate the transitions of students as well. He was very considerate, and accommodating. Another strength was that the discussion he brought up were very relevant and really helped students better understand and learn new material and concepts while also applying them to our lives/society.

• It was good to see examples and real-world applications to the concepts learned in class. He was very good at showing us how the course material was relevant to both the real world and the medical field, taking his audience very seriously.
