At the first annual Orientation session for Graduate Teaching Assistants at Dalhousie University, a panel of award-winning GTAs shared their experience with new teaching assistants. Here are some of their thoughts.

On teaching . . .

On students . . .

On rapport and communication . . .

On creating a learning environment . . .

Thanks to panelists Jane Brooks, Mark Bruhn, Farhad Dastur, Stephen Vanslyke, and the participants at the first Graduate Teaching Assistant Orientation held on September 30th, 1993.
