MATH 221
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Daniel is one of the best TAs I've ever had at UW-Madison. I took MATH 234 with him. Daniel is accessible both during discussions and outside of classes. When asking him questions, you can truly feel his willingness to help you get through the difficulties. Daniel explains concepts thoroughly and always uses visual methods to assist understanding.

MATH 221
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He's all you can ask for in a TA. He's patient, genuinely enthusiastic, and glad to help you wherever you're struggling. Among the TAs, he's also probably one of the easier graders. He structures his discussions by breaking the class into groups to work on practice problems. Then he walks between the groups answering peoples' questions.
