TESTIMONIALS
“The feedback from the Teachers Assistants (in both written and verbal forms) was tremendously positive: They indicated a very considerable improvement in their ability to communicate and interact with their students, how to motivate the students to work, and how to get the students to learn from one another through active participation in a group setting. Mr. Reznichek's methods, enthusiasm and diligence were a source of inspiration for very many of the TAs he trained. The result of this pilot project is that the Economics Department will put such training in place on a permanent basis, and extend it to courses beyond the introductory level.”
