EA/ED 2016 - Ask a Northeastern Student

I was one of those TAs for the fundies class. They put a lot of thought and effort into that class. They also just hired a recent grad just for that class, to work on curriculum and organization. There’s a weekly staff meeting with all the professors, TAs, and tutors (totally 40-50 people in the fall), and we’d bring up specific students who we saw struggling or excelling to make sure they got the attention they deserved, and also to discuss what students in general needed extra help with so the lecture could be adapted. I was a neuroscience major, but because of my tutoring and TAing, I ended up spending more time in the CS department. It’s a great community and I made good friends there.
