What Students Are Saying…
“All aspects and teaching abilities of the TA were outstanding.”
“Weijun was very present with us throughout the course, and knowledgable in the course material. She really cares for us and our success in the course, and I would love to have her again as my TA in the future.
— Students from Social Networks and Support discussion sessions (2022)
“She was more than happy to help us, made formula sheets for us. She would email us countless times with additional help for our homework. She went above and beyond and held a finals review session that no other TA has done in my experience. She is a great TA!!!”
“My TA had extensive knowledge of the material, was always prepared in the class slides, and was able to break down the homework in more comprehensive ways.”
— Students from Probability and Statistics lab sessions (2023 and 2024)
“Weijun is the best TA that I have had at UCI…She was extremely patient, understanding, and helpful.
“I learned a lot about the course material from our sessions, and she helped me through this asynchronous course. I struggle in these types of courses because of the lack of engagement, but I was able to succeed with Weijun's guidance and help. She did an outstanding job, and I would recommend her to any Professor looking for a competent and exceptional TA. Thank you Weijun! ”

“The feedback I got for my assignments always came back with great depth of information that helped me yield better assignments, I also enjoy reading what my TA had to say and the overall kindness that was shown when I introduced my self to the class was very nice and made me feel like I'm not isolated.”
“Weijun is extremely responsive to students and is very patient. Open to suggestions and student concerns. She’s very encouraging and optimistic, willing to discuss anything, and knows how to provide substantial material even if class activity is low. Exceedingly obvious that she cares about students on individual levels, takes pride in her own efforts. Truly 11/10.”
“The TA in our discussion was very nice and knowledgable. One of her strongest points in the discussion was her ability to answer everyone's questions and answer them well. I would also say her strong point was with technology, she was able to share her screen and show us exactly what is going on in different software programs.”

“A dedicative, lovely, knowledgable TA who offers constructive and sincere advice to student who is about to graduate.”
“She prompted students to get into discussions about the lecture material and look for applications and modern-day examples. She was very interested in the subject matter and displayed that enthusiasm. “
“She communicated her high expectations with us, which I believe lead us to succeed in and enjoy the course as a whole."
“Weiwei went above and beyond what any other TA would do. For starters she learned all of our names, something that, in 8 quarters at UCI, I've never had a TA do. Discussions were also fantastic, filled with information, and integrated small group discussions which were helpful for people, such as myself, who aren't great at talking in front of the whole class.”
