Thank you for this session! I learned so much today

Thank you for this session and course! I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Arvin, Paloma, and Jack are excellent teachers and know how to convey the lessons effectively and enjoyably. I've never felt bored in this class, and it's because of the engaging teaching style. Thank you for your time, patience, and kindness! :D

Paloma demonstrated strong adaptability during the session. She recognized signs of confusion, such as when Tomas hesitated about the number of terms in the formula or misunderstood scientific notation, and promptly adjusted her approach. She also explained the differences between arithmetic and geometric sequences more than once, using varied strategies to reinforce the material. Additionally, when Tomas brought up a different formula involving n−1, she validated his prior learning and clarified the distinction between finite and infinite geometric series. One of her strongest moments of adjustment came when she clarified how to model a 10% increase using a common ratio of 1.1, rather than simply following what was stated in the question. Her response showed a strong ability to interpret learner misconceptions and course-correct. This kind of flexibility and awareness helped personalize the learning experience and made a clear impact on Tomas’s growing confidence.

This session was welcoming, student-centered, and emotionally intelligent. Paloma learned everyone's names, celebrated correct answers, and gently coached through errors. She used warm affirmations like “Good job” and “Nice to meet you,” and took care to ensure each voice felt heard. Her emphasis on teamwork and understanding, not just correct answers, helped students open up and stay motivated.

Paloma fostered a comfortable and encouraging learning environment, which clearly boosted Tomas’s confidence. She often affirmed his correct answers with enthusiastic feedback, such as “Good job,” “That’s right,” or “Exactly,” reinforcing his progress in a supportive tone. Her calm and patient demeanor made it easy for Tomas to express when he was confused or unsure. Paloma also built rapport by acknowledging her own moments of uncertainty, which humanized the session and created a mutual learning atmosphere. One standout moment was when Tomas said he wanted to "develop a deeper understanding," and Paloma shifted into a conceptual breakdown of subscript notation, explaining how helps identify the common difference. This level of attentiveness showed her investment in not just helping Tomas find the answer, but making sure he genuinely understood it. Paloma clearly created a positive space where learning felt collaborative and pressure-free.

You were highly responsive to Tomas's needs. When he was confused about a concept, such as the common difference in a recursive series or the n-1 exponent in another formula, you stopped and provided a thorough, patient explanation. You also demonstrated flexibility by seamlessly switching to Khan Academy when you realized you did not have slides for geometric series, ensuring the lesson continued without significant interruption. You also handled an unexpected student, Fatima, joining the session very professionally.

Thanks for the session, the jeopardy game was really fun to play and I also think that it was a great way to remember some of the things that you teached us.
