"Samantha’s presentations and advice during office hours have been incredibly helpful. Having an opinion from someone who recently took the same class has aided with many of my assignments. Even if it is a very short conversation in the library, I can still learn a lot from her stylistic advice along with her general advice about the class. The office hours clarified the general trend of the class which made choosing a topic much easier. On the other hand, many of the inventing arguments have not been helpful since I cannot see myself using those lessons in my own writing"
"I agree that the Thursday sessions are extremely helpful. Having Sam review my papers beforehand has been very beneficial. At times there's been assignments where the guidelines confused me and I had written something completely opposite to what the assignment was asking for and Sam helped clarify with me what I was supposed to be doing"
"I agree that it is very helpful to hear advice and feedback from someone like Sam who has already taken the class. Also, during class time I like how Professor Pleydell and Sam both address the class because if one person is unclear then often the other can clarify. Many of my friends do not have a TA in English 101 so it is like I have an extra resource"
"I agree that the Thursday sessions are helpful! Samantha is great at answering questions, and giving pointers that ultimately allow you to improve your work"
