The following questions and responses are from the exit survey from my first block teaching the 0xMacro Smart Contract Fellowship as full-time instructor.
Note: I worked as “Instruction Resident” (like a paid TA role) for 12 weeks before starting full time. I also had taken the 6 week course immediately prior to becoming a TA.

Question: Were there any lectures from Abhi that you found particularly engaging or informative, and what about them stood out as positive?
Answers:
The SPARTA hack lecture was super impressive -- being able to break down a hack like that and then attempt a live demo is definitely a daunting task. I thought it really showed the amount of work that he was willing to put into preparation for a single lecture and the entire program as a whole.
The LP lecture was very clear and helpful and made it a lot easier to implement an otherwise confusing & sometimes counter-intuitive contract.
Abhi is a super clear communicator. I also found that his ability to empathize with the problems that students were facing from the student's perspective particularly outstanding.
This is probably a popular one - reproducing the Spartan hack lecture live really made me feel like I could do it too.
Buggy solution reviews went well. Signatures/ECDSA/EIP-712 lecture went well. It's hard to remember exactly why.
I like with Abhi (Melvhile as well) clarity when he present things. For example Abhi presentations of complex topics like LPs and different hack, it was really beautiful to see how he do it. All the time on the ponit without any unnecessary elements. Grate!
Sparta Hack - the fact that he improved from the previous version and reproduced the hack and showed us the process was awesome. Also the Liquidity pool lecture.
The SPARTA hack lecture was really really awesome, it was super interesting and engaging.
The EIP 712 signatures lecture stands out to me since it was a very good explanation for a topic that i was confused about. He also explained constant product and IL pretty well.
