"Neha Betai led an amazing discussion and is one of my favorite TAs I have had at GW. She went out of her way to make this discussion a productive space to learn by encouraging engagement with a class that didn't always want to participate."

"I've never seen a TA who greatly understands the material they teach like Neha did. She really understood what she taught us. As a result, she was prepared to answer absolutely any questions that were asked of her."

"Genuinely amazing TA. I learned more from discussions than I ever did during lectures."

"Neha was amazing at synthesizing the information explained in the lecture and simplifying complex topics."

"The instructor is very knowledgeable in the course material. She also encourages students to participate a lot."

"Actually works out math problems on the board, gives 1-on-1 help to anyone who needs it, tries to make sure you actually understand when you ask for help — she is very knowledgeable."

"Neha does a great job of thoroughly describing economic principles in ways that are easy for young students to understand!"

"Great TA, she knows how to teach, very kind and understanding. She makes time to answer questions and have office hours at a time that is convenient for you."

"I felt very supported in my discussion class. All of the reviews of material we did in class were very clear and helpful to understanding the content."

"TA Betai clearly knew her way around the subject and was willing to help if you had questions. She was approachable and had a few good economics-based conversations outside of class."

"Neha is so helpful and there is lots of time to ask questions! I really enjoyed discussion and the activities we did were helpful!"

"Neha reviewed and expanded upon ideas covered in class to help us understand the material."

"Betai was knowledgeable and very approachable in class."

"Ms. Betai was awesome at explaining concepts and handing out helpful worksheets to us."

"The discussions were excellent supplements to the lectures."

"Neha is very helpful and knows her econ — definitely helped me when I struggled in this course."

"Neha was very attentive and went over all of the major topics we talked about in class."

"Nice instructor, she is available and explains well."

"The discussion section was very helpful, and I appreciated having a quiz every class because it helped me make sure I was following the curriculum and not falling behind."

"I liked that we were applying the information during the discussions and not just hearing it regurgitated."
