Using Big Data to Solve Economic and Social Problems (Ec 50) - Spring 2024 and Spring 2023

Harvard University

Teaching Fellow for Raj Chetty


  • René singlehandedly taught me economics. Very grateful for his ability to calmly and concise explain complex topics to someone with no background! I went to his office hours almost every week to learn the content and always left feeling like I had a good grasp on the material.
  • Rene was an amazing TF. He explained all of the topics amazingly well and answered any of my questions. He helped me succeed in this class.
  • Rene was a great TF! He was super knowledgeable and very helpful when students were stuck on material. He did an amazing job to help us understand the class materials by summarizing lectures. He assisted us and gave us necessary tools we needed to do my lab.

  • Phenomenal teaching– brings own approaches and strategies to understanding the content, creates a safe environment for stupid questions, provides incredibly helpful and personalized and rapid feedback.
  • Our TF was one of the quickest graders I have ever had. For exams, he quickly returned grades and thoughtful feedback. Additionally his personality and knowledge of the topic made section very enjoyable
  • Your sessions were very useful for this class. They complement well the material we see during lectures. Your questions and examples during sessions were useful to correct mistakes and learn as we moved forward with the class. 
  • Excelent Job!! Overall, Rene was great. He was helpful and supportive. At times he would move very quickly through sections that made it hard to follow. However, he was very accessible, very supportive and wanted students to do well. 
  • Extremely warm and passionate about supporting his students! Clearly knowledgeable of the class as well as the subject matter. Extremely speedy grader as well which was always appreciated.
