UnlikelyGrad Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 They work us hard here. I have three sections of lab--one freshman, two quant. I'm the only first-year of the bunch who isn't scared of being a TA, so I wrote something about teaching on my blog. http://unlikelygrad.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/teaching/ What else would you add?

frankdux Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 good notes. teaching is very much a performance. also, if it's your first year as a TA, then you should be doing the homework that they have to do as well. this will help tremendously in going over HW problems in class. and then save your HW notes so you can use them again next semester. i already have teaching experience but i was nervous for the first 10 minutes or so of my first discussion class this week, but then when i got into it i really started to enjoy it again. and by my 3rd class of the day, it was a breeze. it feels really satisfying to know you helped somebody understand something that they didn't quite get when the professor zipped through it.
