Testimonials

"Daven is encouraging and knows exactly how to guide students in the right direction without giving everything away. The course itself becomes a bit discouraging after the first midterm, especially for first time programmers, but Daven's support is definitely appreciated."

"Best TA, very helpful and feels like they actually care and wants to help. He is very clear and concise and helped me a lot through labs and just general 110 tips. Thank you very much Daven."

"Very friendly and easygoing. Comes off as relatable and also gives you the hard truth if needed. He seems like someone I could genuinely become friends with. Very helpful as well."

"Amazing TA. Daven was definitely my favourite TA from any of my classes this semester. He always gave helpful, concise feedback on my programs without giving away any solutions which contributed greatly to my learning in the course. Additionally, he always explained concepts that I didn't fully understand in a way that I could more clearly understand them. Even when I finished my code for a lab, he would point out potential flaws in my final code which helped me become more aware of aspects of my coding skills that could be improved upon."

"Daven was an excellent TA. Very understanding, and was good at approaching the subject at a level that was going to be understood."

"Daven was the most approachable TA, and he really took his time to sit down and make sure you understand the concepts. He was very effective in teaching and explaining concepts, especially with more difficult concepts which he made much easier to understand! One thing that stood out was how he never seemed in a rush, but really cared about explaining well. It was truly a pleasure to have him as a TA."

"Daven did a great job as a TA, he was very approachable and gave good feedback during short and long grading. Clearly very knowledgeable in this subject and was able to explain concepts in an easy to understand way. Overall great TA!"

"Extremely helpful when students had questions and explained very well, I'm very thankful I had him in my labs because I understood the material better than in class."

"Daven is an amazing TA, really helpful and clearly passionate about the subject and helping students."

"Daven really helped me visualise and abstract lab questions, allowing me to approach each question with structured steps and build a solid foundation for understanding concepts."

"Very kind when explaining concepts, also pushed students to challenge themselves and gain independence when problem solving."

"Very good at drawing analogies and pushing students to think about the question instead of giving the answer directly. This is very effective in my opinion for helping students improve."
