In this episode of TAPcast, the TA Project team answers your questions about being a TA. Chloe Wawrzyniak, Janna Dominick, and Zoë Kitchel answer the following questions: Every day, the same student comes to class over 30 minutes late. Is there anything I can do? What is something you wish you knew before you started teaching? Have you ever been unprepared for class and how did you handle it? Up until this point, I’ve always been in a classroom as a student. Now I’ve been asked to teach a class and I don’t feel confident that I know everything about the topic. How do you handle the transition from learner to teacher and feeling confident to teach? A student came to me at the end of the semester wanting extra credit or to re-submit an assignment for a grade boost. What should I do? How do you balance your TA and research duties, and your time that you put towards each? Is there a schedule that works for you? Find more information at tap.rutgers.edu/tapcast.php
