Erin was great - there was a lot of homework for 203 but it is an intensive class. She made the material really accessible and I loved having her as an instructor.

Erin is super friendly and one of the better TA's I had at UW-Madison. She will do her best to answer any question. Likes to use a lot of Spanish music which is a plus. Pretty cute too.

Good at presenting concepts clearly in class - especially grammar. gives good feedback as well on exams. Wish we had more communicative activities though. Helpful and doesn't make you feel bad for asking questions.
