Hi all,
I was a TA this summer, and I know I didn't do a good job. I missed my alarm and missed the first half of my office hours once. I also have been rushing through grading homeworks and delivering them to the class five minutes late. Worst of all, in my rushing, I graded several problems incorrectly on the final and the professor found this. In addition, there was a typo on the solution to a homework and I told students that was the correct answer; I guess it's been a while since I took this class and I've forgotten some things.
The grad coordinator emailed me and told me I need to meet with him to discuss concerns about my performance this summer. This has been a real wake up call; I feel terrible about it, and I wish I could do this whole thing over.
I was wondering if people could tell me how bad this situation is. Am I likely to lose my future TA funding? Even get kicked out of the program altogether? Do any of you have horror stories (where you were at fault) like this?
