These meetings will occur primarily during weekly lab hours
  • Report to the instructing faculty with team status and notes on the development and challenges of your assigned students
  • Maintain awareness of student health and well-being by looking out for unhealthy patterns and promoting reasonable work-life balance, as well as interpersonal dynamics

  • Follow up with students - on tasks or issues identified by the faculty during reviews
  • Be available for a few non-scheduled hours per week - to meet with students and help as needed
  • Support instructors in running class feedback sessions - directing cohorts of ~5-10 students at a time in constructive critique and peer reflections
  • Support instructors in grading and providing useful feedback to students in a timely manner
