Physics 104
Charlies Tahan

I love the review sheet we get! It is so helpful:) Discussion sections are good and your attitude is good. In lab, it would be really helpful to get a short intro into what we are doing so we aren't clueless when we start, but overall you are a really good TA!

Charlie is very well prepared for discussion. He knows how to pick out the important things of each chapter and present them in an easy way, one of the best TAs I have had on campus.

Charlie gave very fair lab quizzes. His review sheets were helpful. I wish we would have talked about the lab more before we started...sometimes it became very confusing. Overall, he is a swell guy!!

More time should be spent making sure the students understand the lab material.

You are a good TA and know what you are talking about; however, I can't understand what you are saying or what you write on the board! Also, you could act like you want to help, not that you have to jump up and down because you are teaching, but I'm afraid to come to your office hours. I feel like a nuisance and wasting your time.

Great job Charlie!

You have done a good job. This material is not always easy to understand, but you do a great job simplifying and clarifying. Best of luck in your future.

There could be more promptness in the return of quizzes, homework, and exams so that we know earlier.

Great TA. Helps when you have questions. Can tell that he wants us to do well on exams. Honest.

I think that you are an excellent TA. You simplify and explain things concepts clearly.

Charles is a great TA - he really wants us to understand and lets you know what is/is not important.

Could use a little more discussion at the beginning of lab to understand what is going on and what we should expect to see.

You are awesome!!

He is a good TA. Very easy to work w/ and approach.

Helpful-you can tell he puts some effort into discussion sections.

The techniques are very effective. His enthusiasm for physics is truly remarkable. His discussions further enhance my ever increasing repertoire of physics knowledge. Without him, I'm lost.

Charlie goes above and beyond the call of duty for your average physics TA. His exemplory knowledge and overall love for the subject of physics is amazing. His organizational skills amaze me as well as his effortless, but brilliant assistance in helping his students understand the rigorous curriculum.

Charlie helps out a lot and helps to put concepts in understandable terms. Extra effort on practice worksheets before quizzes is greatly appreciated!

I just have one comment, it's not really good form to tell us that we're pathetic. Other than that Charlie is a great teacher.

Nice job, keep up those review sheets.

Charlie is a great TA however he could speak up and speack a lot more clearly--he mumbles quite a lot and talks to the chalkboard.

Try to annunciate better and students will get a lot more out of the discussion sections.

Sometimes TA doesn't answer questions very clearly, especially in office hours.

Kind of mumbles when talks and is intimidating to ask questions.

He's a decent TA. When I need help, he is good at helping me to understand.
