Course evaluations

Charles was an incredibly effective teacher. His passion for political science was obvious and he showed a deep care for all his students. He made our class a safe space and contributed to making a small community which helped us learn together.

My lecturer Charles C was super helpful throughout the unit; the concepts were explained with such clarity and coherency. The assessment enquiry session was also very helpful in terms of individualised feedback … they were very approachable and I received all the guidance I needed.

Charles’ approach is very helpful and motivating; he’s open, passionate, and kind. That makes attendance feel more like a fun discussion rather than a university class.

The tutorial is very engaging … discussion is always interesting and fun. I’m not scared to participate.

Professor Crabtree was the best professor I’ve had at Dartmouth. He was down to earth, helpful, and genuinely cared about his students. He met with my research group multiple times throughout the term, even when he was very busy … his lectures were engaging and he made me want to learn more.

This was a fantastic class! It’s hard to shout out specific things that were most effective, because the entire class was very effective … really well structured, with group problem sets, individual readings, and our research project, which was a great way to apply our learning to an interesting, real-world topic.

I’ve nothing but the absolute best things to say about Charles Crabtree. One of my favorite professors I’ve had on this campus, and made class so fun while also challenging.

He is incredibly supportive, explains statistical concepts very well, and is excellent at demonstrating why statistical analysis matters to a group of people who were mostly only in the class to fulfil a prerequisite … I never expected to have a good time in this class, but it ended up being pretty enjoyable and I learned a lot.

Prof. Crabtree is one of the most empathetic professors I’ve ever met, and this makes him a great teacher who prioritizes students’ growth.

The professor is one of the kindest, most understanding people, and as such engagement in the class was incredibly high. We were able to think of great ideas and felt supported in the environment.

Professor Crabtree is very engaging and energetic. He is very supportive and makes himself frequently accessible to students. He is a kind person and wants to make a positive impact.

Professor Crabtree is by far the best professor I’ve had at Dartmouth.

This was an excellent introduction to AI agents that provided us with practical skills that we can implement immediately in our research. One of the best courses I’ve ever taken!

I enjoyed the committed lecturer, lively participants, friendly interactions, and helpful live demos on how to actually use the AI applications.

I loved getting lots of new ideas for how AI can support my teaching. I appreciated learning more about AI agents and Claude Code. I also appreciated the instructor’s willingness to engage with student questions and to produce additional content for us.

The topics covered were appropriate and relevant, and the delivery pace was excellent. Hands-on practice in class was an excellent idea. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful: they offered office hours in addition to class time, provided useful supplementary materials, and promised to create and share extra videos on topics not covered during class.

The course material and hands-on examples were carefully curated, and the lecturer is very generous in sharing his own example files. Dr. Crabtree was very responsive to participants’ questions and elaborated on all sorts of detailed aspects about what integrates how in which way (or not…). I walked away with one of my own existing assignments “analyzed for AI by AI”, identifying the grading aspects that still work in times of AI-use by students, and those that need to be reworked.

Charles was a wonderful and thoughtful instructor who adapted to the needs of the class. I was very impressed.

Useful information that is directly applicable to my work. I greatly appreciate the slides and how they are available to me with embedded links to all the resources that I would need to use what I learned. Charles was a fantastic instructor, and I wish we got to spend more time learning from him!

The workshop was very organized in step-by-step allowing even beginners to follow the materials. Also, the group exercise part was fun and made students to concentrate. Master’s student, Yonsei University

I find the practical approach of the workshop is particularly useful and makes it better than other courses that I have attended before. The experience of working on a project that uses text analysis and the coding sessions serve as models for me in future projects. Ph.D. student, Waseda University

The professor led us to actually complete a project, from the initial idea to the final submission, and we as postgraduates had the opportunity to understand a whole process of research, which was a very valuable experience. Master’s student, Waseda University
