Teaching Assistant

My primary responsibilities were grading homework assignments (4) and projects (2), providing solutions and detailed feedback on student work, monitoring discussion board (3) and promptly replying to posts. Additionally, I posted weekly summaries (4) on Canvas to keep students informed about their progress. To ensure effective communication and support, I maintained a high level of organization and ensured that the students’ grades were accurate. I made myself readily available to students by responding promptly to emails.
