Comment: Best TA I have ever had. His recitations and office hours were soooo helpful. Also, available pretty much at all times. I had to miss office hours one week, and he just scheduled another time slot just for me. I would not have survived this class without his help. I know he put a lot of time and effort into TAing this class, and if there is a "best TA" award, I am nominating him.

Rating: 7/7
Comment: I did not go to recitations. Alessandro was well prepared for both of the lectures on digital signatures that he taught.

Rating: 7/7
Comment: In recitation, he explained things well, and was really good about answering questions, or saying when he didn't know just then and getting back to us later. The lectures he taught were not as engaging as Micali's.
