Justin''s hair is a character of its own. I struggled in this class bc I have never taken any kind of computer programming. Justin could be helpful and was always really high on science but sometimes I found his discussion sections cumbersome and confusing. He really loves the subject matter though and is always excited to answer any questions.

In a class where the professor and other TAs were unhelpful and unclear and mostly off-topic Justin was a breath of fresh air. He explained things clearly at a basic level so that you could actually understand them using simple examples the other instructors muddled and confused with high-level math.

Provided just the right amount of help to get me started on a problem. He explained topics in different ways if the topic was unclear to me.
