Classroom

details of current day's class

  • During the assignment part, track the performance of each student (live)
  • If any student is stuck, ping on flock.
  • It's the duty of the TA to make sure that all of their students have solved all by the end of 1 hour

  • Not a passive interaction

  • All of Standup Session must be done on the Wacom Tablet

Contest Discussions

  • preapre the explanations beforehand

  • Make sure that they have prepared the material for they day.
  • If you feel that there is some issue with the material, notify us so that we can provide an editorial
  • 1st session is going to be an intro session - to establish connection and trust
  • You should know each of your students personally, and be able to provide detailed feedback about each

Metric

  • Daily stand-up ratings.

  • No. of help requests resolved.

  • Average response time.

  • Contest performance.

  • Cautions:

    • Help students, don't blatantly tell them the answer - could lead to your termination. We do perform plagiarism checks
  • Students can ask doubt on both flock and interface. Be active on both.


  • If the TA feels that he is good at a topic, and wishes to take classes / remedials on weekends, we would encourage that. Rewards will be performance based.
