A course description can be found below. I assumed general teaching assistant responsibilities such as hosting office hours and review sessions, grading exams, and replying to homework questions. In addition, I have seen two specific roles in my two quarters as a TA for this course. In Fall 2017, I managed our website on Canvas, Stanford's online portal for accessing important content from their courses. I also drafted sample homework and exam problems. In Fall 2018, I prepared homework assignments, tracked student discussion participation, and reserved rooms for our various needs.Fall 2017: Manage our website on Canvas, Stanford's student portal for accessing content from their courses. In addition, I host office hours to answer questions from students, and respond to questions asked by students on our online forum, Piazza.CEE 107A/207A - Understanding Energy: Energy is one of the world's main drivers of opportunity and development for human beings.
