Want to improve your teaching skills and your chances of getting a TAship in the future? Please come to the annual EECS TA Workshop. We will have group discussions focused on different aspects of TAing, led by experienced TAs who will share some of the things they wish they had known before they began teaching.
During this first workshop in the series, we will address topics such as the following:
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?
For the second event:
