TA Evaluations
My first TA evaluations are in. And it looks like I did not do bad for my first experience as Teaching Assistant. It really was interesting. Giving three of the lectures was definitely a highlight. Grading not so much. Now I have to gear up for the next school year, during which I will be a full-time TA, going up to 20 hrs/week from 10.
Student evaluations varied a lot, but thankfully leaned towards the better side. I think the most negative comment was "help wasn't as helpful as other TA's in previous computer-based classes". But it is evaluations like this next one that really make it all worth it. One student wrote "Very helpful T.A., probably the best I've had so far".
I hope to keep it up next semester. Tomorrow I find out what class I'll be TAing. Oh, the suspense!

TA'ing sounds like fun.
Many of the TAs I've had have been real good.
Do you TA in CSci or Business classes?

I'm Ta'ing in CSci. That is currently the department I'm at. Do they give UI classes in Business school?
