I'll keep this short and sweet: I am entering a terminal MA program as a first-time TA, and am wondering what my general responsibilities will be; how will it differ from having (presumably) more responsibility as a doctoral candidate a few years down the road at another school? Having just graduated from college and now starting an MA program with no teaching experience, I am certainly not ready to start teaching classes or presenting myself like an expert in my field. Anyone with experience with this similar scenario willing to share how first-year grad TA's cope/manage their responsibilities? How may it differ from being a TA in a doctoral program? I am in a MA History program at a relatively small honors university. I appreciate any insight! QuietScholar
