Steven Chen, our TA, was absolutely amazing at explaining economic concepts to students. There are people who call themselves teachers and then there are people who can ACTUALLY TEACH. This is someone who can actually teach. I am so grateful that I got him as my TA. He helped me understand difficult economic topics and he also taught me how to apply the concepts to problems. I hope he considers teaching full-time one day because he is that great. If you’re reading this Steven, know that you are the MAIN reason I passed this course *fingers crossed* Also, forget to mention that he was enthusiastic and he UNDERSTOOD that this course was hard for students. Seriously, please consider teaching full-time!

“Loved my TA! He was super helpful! He explained concepts multiple different times in different ways until it was understood. He was patient, made time for his students, and was knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, as well as very encouraging!”

This discussion really helped solidify my understanding of the content taught in the lectures. Steven was AMAZING; very helpful and enthusiastic about the subject. He motivated me to come to discussion every week!

Steven, thank you so much for your availability both in-person and online. The lesson plans and problems were excellent and your feedback was always on point. Great discussion sections and very well explained subjects. I learned a lot.
