Hikaru did really well with a very tough job to try to teach us a lot of coding in a very short period of time. She is also kind and easily reachable.
strengths: code was very detailed and answered questions clearly, facilitated discussions and kept us engaged, availability outside of class (office hours, email, piazza) weaknesses: nothing at this time

Hikaru was a really great teaching fellow! I emailed her numerous times with questions and she always responded promptly and was very helpful. She led great discussion sections and was clearly very prepared and organized.

Great TA! She was very helpful and knowledgeable. Her background in finance provided and unique perspective on financial systems.
Hikaru is an excellent Teaching Fellow and was always willing to meet with us to discuss any doubts we were having about the coursework or the class in general. She brought in interesting and relevant perspectives from her experience in finance, and she made the subjects covered in class very accessible for those of us who were struggling with class assignments.
