Student Evaluations
Below are a few selected excerpts from my teaching evaluations. For a full summary of all comments and scores, please click here.
"Discussion sessions with Socorro were an integral part of my success in this course. The way that she went through material and explained topics, as well as walked us through additional examples and practice problems solidified my understanding and knowledge of economics. I really felt that her discussion sessions were indispensable to my learning this quarter!"
"Socorro did a great job during our discussion sections, she always explained the material thoroughly until the class understood it and went through examples. The examples, along with Socorro's explanation of them, really helped me personally understand the concepts."
"Socorro was one of the best TAs that I've had in a while. Despite the pandemic, she always made the class feel welcoming and worth looking forward to in the week. I think most students in my class could agree they felt safe asking questions and engaging with anything from lecture."
"She was always willing to help in OH and prepared material of her own to help the class. Socorro made sure that you understood every aspect of the problem before moving on. Very responsive to emails and had a great attitude every time I saw her."
"She was very organized and her teaching helped me understand material that I may have been confused on during the lecture."
"Socorro Martinez would be my first recommendation to any student looking to get into microeconomics. Her way of explaining and patience was a joy to be around and she taught efficiently."
