Undergraduate Course Assistant - Numerical Methods

Undergraduate course, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Computer Science, 2021

This was my first experience working as a staff for any course. I worked two years in total as a CA, during which I was nominated to receive the Outstanding Course Assistant Award. My main duties were:

  • Hold regular office hours
  • Attend weekly synchronous group activity sessions
  • Develop and test quiz questions
  • Improve existing autograders for course assessments to provide better feedback
  • Improve quality for course notes
  • Proctor synchronous quizzes over Zoom

The two years working as a staff also guided me towards Computing Education Research, as I gained my first experience of research during that time.
