Wait until it's time for you to start TAing

It takes time to learn what a good answer looks like and how to communicate it to your students. I'm not trying to make excuses, I know the students don't enjoy it and sometimes it isn't fair, but it might help to see the other side and remember that it's a learning process for the TA too.

It can also be really hard to direct students to an answer without outright giving them the right one.

And, yes, it is definitely a learning experience being a TA. It's not like we're really given much training to be an educator, so we're pretty much figuring it out as we go.
