Jungbin is a terrific TA. I really appreciate his fast response times, his regular class
attendance despite it not being required, and his independence in designing review sections.
(Prof. Santos)
He is a good TA. (Prof. Elliott)
It was a pleasure to work with Jungbin. I greatly appreciated his volunteerism. Whenever
something unexpected would pop up such as needing a pdf file of a probability table or
needing a stapler in the middle of an exam, Jungbin was always more than willing to help
me with the unexpected. Jungbin also has great leadership and organizational abilities. (Dr.

Jungbin was a helpful TA during discussion sessions. If our professor provided one
scenario during lecture, he'd do the reverse for the discussion, which would make us
think critically about the problem. If Jungbin were to TA for 110 again, I'd recommend
that he bring different colored chalk when drawing graphs on the board because using
the same color can be a little confusing. Overall, a solid TA for the class. Thank you!
Seems like a great guy.
He demonstrates great interest in the learning of students and is very helpful. Very
easy to reach outside of discussion sessions.
I thought your review sessions were really useful in breaking down concepts and
summarizing the concepts. I also liked how you seemed really caring for our learning.
Thanks!
Jungbin is a nice guy and is very approachable. He understands his material and
presents his points well.
One of the best TAs I ever had! I learned almost everything from him and he put so
much work into preparing really useful PowerPoints! Awesome job! Highly recommend!
Represented materials very clearly, and tried his best for us to understand the materials. The
only problem was the language/accent barrier, where sometimes it was hard to understand
what he was saying. Nonetheless he still tried his best teach us the materials.
Very responsible
Jungbin was the only TA with whom I associated with this quarter. I believe he was clear,
beneficial, and helpful to my understanding of the material in Econometrics. I
wholeheartedly recommend him to future students.
Thank you Jungbin for being a very patient and helpful TA. I was able to understand so
many concepts because of your help. Continue the great work!
By far, he was my favorite TA for 120A. The discussion sections with some of the other
TA's weren't that helpful, but he was clear and organized. He gave extra notes and broke
down the answers to the problem set. I would love to see him TA for econ 120b
His discussions are very helpful, especially because of the worksheets he provided that we
could follow along and fill-in-the-blank with.
Jungbin is awesome! I think he did a great job presenting formal proofs, intuition, and just
generally improving my understanding of econometrics as a whole. He's a great presenter. I
think he should feel more comfortable presenting, because he did a great job. My only
criticism is that sometimes he went too fast, but that's understandable when he's trying to get
through a whole problem set.
