He was a super chill TA who helped us a ton with coding and made sure we didn't get lost in assignments. Always willing to answer our questions and he was quick on the email replies… like a few hours tops. R coding is a bit of a challenge. No hiding that. Especially if you haven’t coded before. If you're not into putting in the time and effort, maybe think twice about being in HGLO. The person below must not have been feeling the whole honors class workload (or they’re lying about getting a high grade). Everyone I knew ended with solid A's or A+'s and liked him. If you are going to do HGLO, I recommend getting him as a TA.

Tristan is not a very good TA. He is a very nice person but does not aid with R work very well. In discussions, he will talk about coding assignments that are due in 2 weeks... which I can guarantee no one has even opened yet. He also very much picks favorites in class and only calls on them and engages with them, which is fine by me cause I didn't want to volunteer but I could tell it was annoying for other students. He was pretty uninformative about the coding assignments too.

Honestly a great Instructor. Gave some critical feedback to help you improve but was understanding with grading and course load. Very responsive to emails and adjusted coursework when necessary for summer term (also the course is really interesting) 10/10

Best TA I've had. Considering they forced the professor to retire after my class, he was probably the only reason we passed.
