“Reed is really knowledgeable about the psychology of work and makes 9 am Friday class much more fun than it normally would be!”
“He is very kind and understanding and takes on a good leadership role while still being sympathetic towards students and their needs.”
“Reed is excited about the course materials and is able to stimulate conversation (even in a 9:05 AM section) which makes for a better class experience. His feedback on assignments is clear and helpful and I would feel comfortable consulting him for help on assignments or ways to improve the content of my answers in assignments.”
“He makes an effort to make sure everybody understands a subject before moving on.”
“I think that he is deeply interested in the subject, which promotes people to be engaged in the discussions he runs. Further, he provides us with other resources that did not come from the lecture to try to help us understand certain concepts better, which are sometimes helpful.”
“Reed is good at involving the class in discussions and has. a good understanding of who his students are. He is attentive and is good at explaining material.”
“Reed is super enthusiastic and funny. He is clearly very knowledgeable about the class and I love his digressions from the course content. He is super willing to answer questions that aren’t always related.”
“The TA allows students to engage in discussion with one another, which increases understanding of the concept and provides different perspectives. The TA also manages the structure of the overall discussion well so it does not feel rushed.”
“Reed is a great TA which I hope everyone taking the Psychology of Work: Theories course could have. He is always willing to guide us through difficult topics and show us their differences, as well as guiding us through engaging examples like the Carter Racing and Kidney Procedure problems. A very high quality TA, can t say enough about Reed.”
“He gave additional examples of real life applications of theories and ideas we discussed in lecture that were relatable and easy to understand making us think more about concepts in lecture.”
“Reed is a great TA and he has made sociology of work so much easier to understand and do well in!!”
“He is always available to help outside of class time.”
“I have met with him twice for office hours, and both times he has been very helpful answering my questions and providing clarity.”
“He really helped me understand how my first essay could’ve been improved and helped me apply this feedback to the second essay we had to write for class as well. I was able to turn in a better draft for the second one.”
