3 | 12/7/2023 22:58:31 | 5 | Shilaan is an exceptional instuctor who engages students effectively. She cares about students and always foster a positive and inclusive working and learning environment for everyone. | ||||||
4 | 12/8/2023 3:03:47 | 5 | Shilaan is one of the most dedicated, professional, compentent, and effective teachers I have had the pleasure to work with. I worked with Shilaan as a peer in the Stanford Data Science Community and as her supervisee in the Data Science for Social Good program. As a supervisor, Shilaan designed support structures that greatly improved the program and students' experiences within it. For example, Shilaan had weekly one-on-one meetings with me to review how my students were doing and make suggestions on how to faciliatate difficult conversations, guide student work in the direction of program goals, and communicate with our community parters. Shilaan also created ample opportunities for students to gain experience in research presentation, brainstorming, and peer review; these types of graduate or professional level experiences are rare in an undergraduate program, and Shilaan did an incredible job making them accessible and helpful for young students. As a colleague, Shilaan is invaluable. She has a singular ability to provide peer review, support, and suggestions. Even though I work in a completely separate field than Shilaan, she has consistently provided support and suggestions that guide my own research in new directions. Any institution should be delighted to welcome Shilaan in to their teaching and research community. | ||||||
5 | 12/8/2023 9:29:43 | 5 | I worked with Shilaan during her time as a DSSG 2021 mentor. Shilaan is very knowledgeable and passionate about data science, open science, and research for social good, and I was very glad I had the chance to work with her. It was apparent that she deeply cared about all students in the program (not just her team) and put extra effort in making them feel welcome and excited. She was pro-active in dealing with potential problems and delays. Most importantly, she handled a difficult case of a student remarkably well (the student left in the middle of the program and the remaining two students had to finish the project in a very short time) and successfully led the students to the completion of their project. | ||||||
6 | 12/8/2023 9:55:57 | 5 | Shilaan was a very approachable and organized DSSG mentor. She did a great job planning social events and talks even though the program was online; she also went out of her way to give advice or talk through any problems. Definitely set the bar for organizing a virtual program! | ||||||
7 | 12/8/2023 12:42:08 | 5 | Shilaan was a phenomenal head mentor during the year I served as a technical mentor for the Data Science for Social Good Program. She was always available to speak both with me and with my mentees, to discuss ongoing progress, next steps, and to troubleshoot both the technical and the professional aspects of working with key stakeholders on our projects. As a recent admission to a graduate program, this experience was, in many ways, my first foray into mentorship and development, and Shilaan was a phenomenal sounding board during the program. Shilaan was also phenomenal from an organizational perspective. She kept everyone on track and engaged during our larger team meetings, made sure everyone had clear idea of expectations and events from week to week, and made sure that everyone in the room was given the space to speak and voice any questions, comments, or concerns. | ||||||
8 | 12/9/2023 12:20:11 | 5 | Shilaan is everything one would want in a program director– I found her programming novel and useful, she always seemed interested in both team and individual progress and provided praise (one particular comment I still remember) as well as constructive feedback, and overall provided a very welcoming and upbeat environment to work in. No suggestions for improvement come to mind. | ||||||
9 | 12/9/2023 12:39:46 | 5 | Awesome communciation. Every meeting was succinct. What was impressive was the good pace of the program despite that Shilaan was remote for a few weeks. | ||||||
10 | 12/12/2023 22:22:24 | 4 | As a mentor, Shilaan cares about both her team and takes responsibility about the progress of her project. As an organizer, Shilaan always make sure everyone is included in the conversation and their ideas and opinions heard. She is very well organized, open to new ideas and suggestions, great in communicating expectations and handles difficult conversations well. I learned a lot from Shilaan, and I really appreciate all of her efforts! | ||||||
