Fall 2011,
+ favorite blog quote: "I have actually commented throughout the semester at how astounded I am that I like Natalie as much as I do despite the number of times she has had to assign me homework, projects, presentations, or lab reports….it’s really unprecedented."
Fall 2012,
+ favorite blog quote: "As Natalie says, "this is a safe place, we are all friends." Even just saying those few words shaped my view of my own abilities, and just knowing that even if I make a mistake, I will not be judged poorly for it, has done so much to facilitate my progression towards being a valuable contributor to the BE community at MIT."
