Teaching

I have served as a Teaching Assistant / Teaching Associate at UCLA since 2024, supporting upper-division mechanical and aerospace engineering courses.

Across recent evaluations, students frequently described the discussion and lab sections as helpful, well-structured, and relevant to course assessments. In particular, comments often highlighted strong content knowledge, clear explanations of practice problems, and responsiveness to student questions.

Selected student comments:

“Chuanjin Su was a good teaching assistant for the course. During discussion sections, he provided a few problems that had very relevant concepts that helped us work on homework problems and be prepared for examinations. Additionally, he re–explained the important concepts to know from each week’s lecture and explained thoroughly about solving these problems.” (26W MAE 105D)

“He was very engaging in his discussions to assure that we were very prepared for the problems we were going to have for the midterm and final.” (25F MAE 131A)

“Chuanjin was the best instructor of this course! He was incredibly knowledgeable on his required experiments and provided a clear rubric of exactly the points he wanted included in the report.” (25S MAE 157W)

“Chuanjin was very good at lecturing and teaching the technical side of our experiments. His lectures were very clear and organized and easy to follow.” (25W MAE 157W)

“Chuanjin is one of the best TA’s I have ever had and was the sole bright spot in a course that I suffered through the entire quarter. He truly did everything he could to give students a chance to succeed.” (24F MAE 131A)
