Graduate Teaching Assistant
The primary purpose of my teaching assistantship is to support undergraduate teaching and learning. I act as a support to the professor by working in a group setting where the relevant material is discussed, examined, and clarified on a weekly basis. I contribute to the delivery of academic inquiry by providing students a smaller class setting in which to unpack ideas and develop tools for greater knowledge. In tutorials and office hours I provide personal academic support and mentoring for undergrad students. I also attend lectures and meetings, mark papers and provide students’ email correspondence.
