GTA Roles: What to Expect

GTAs take on multiple roles while managing their own courseload. In this session you will have the opportunity to connect to and learn from experienced GTAs.

Four graduate students who have served as grader, lab leader, recitation leader, and section leader share what their workload looks like and how they manage their time, tips and tricks on how to work with students, and challenges they have addressed. GTAs will walk away with a set of tools for successfully working in their roles.

This session is part of the 2026 Spring GTA Preparation Program.
