Abstract

At the close of the 2008Sp semester in our CS301 : Teaching Techniques (for new TAs) class, I asked my students to come up with what they felt was the most important thing they learned from class that a new TA should know. This talk will highlight the top 20 that were mentioned, massaged a bit. This advice is pure gold for first-time TAs.
