• She was very helpful when there were any problems with the course and would offer to help as much as possible.
• Olga was sooooo incrediblly helpful and i wouldn't have understood as much without her help, she was always there to help anyone who needed it.
• Was able to help me a great deal!
• there was only one hr/week to meet the TA. and she was always late in grading our work which caused me personaly to repeat the same mistakes
• Loved the instructor. She was my favorite TA at GW so far. Very helpful, smart, and easy to understand.
• Olga did a terrific job in the lab section because if we didn't understand something, she would help us and explain to each person.
