She employs a variety of ways to promote recollection and mastery of material such as weekly review quizzes and handouts. She holds several extra office hours in lieu to midterms (both in person and online), and even goes above and beyond by writing for us ANOTHER practice midterm. I wish she could be my TA for every class!" "Jessica always comes to discussion prepared and explains the material very well. She is a big help because she makes weekly handouts for us and encourages us to ask questions and participate. She puts in a lot of effort to make sure that we understand the material. I think Jessica is one of the best TA's I had at UCSD."
