| Message to Students and/or Parents: |
I approach my sessions the way I wished the teaching assistants would have taught/helped me. I try to approach the questions I receive in each seminar multi-dimensionally, since I know that no one student thinks alike. When conducting seminars I know that in some questions there are different areas of the problem that each student may have difficulty with. That is why I try to approach each problem multi-dimensionally, trying to help every student, and not just specific students. |
