Student Comments:

"Paul has been one of the best TAs I've ever had.  He really went out of his way to make himself available to his students and to help us understand the material.  He went above and beyond my expectations.  The sections always helped to clarify the lecture material and Paul was able to explain things in a clear and concise way."

"One of the best TAs I have ever had for a math class.  Very approachable and very concerned about the students understanding the material."

"Paul is a really helpful TA, possibly the best I'va had.  He really takes the time to help students understand and cares about students.  His explainations and examples are great!"

"Paul exemplifies the quality all TAs should have: not only extremely adept at teaching and explaining difficult concepts, but extremely concerned with students' mastery of the concepts as well as students' success in this class.  Easily the best TA I've had at UCLA!  Takes the job/responsibility of a TA seriously."

"This guy is so good.  Thanks for making him a TA.  We should scrounge up some extra money and buy him some knind of nice car.  Like a Mercedes.  Or maybe an Audi.  Yeah an Audi is probably better.  He seems  like an Audi guy."
