Basics of TAing

What can I do to ensure that my students learn the material?
How do I write good problem sets and solutions? How much time does TAing really take? How do I make progress in my research, keep up in my classes, and do a good job as a TA, all in the same term?

Teaching Tutorials and Recitations

What are the differences between recitations and tutorials? How do I encourage my students to interact with me and each other? How much should I prepare and present, and how much time should I devote to answering students' questions? What are some good uses of office hours?
