• For the Fall Quarter of 2020 I was an IA at the University of California San Diego for the Introduction to Python course. I taught groups of ~30 students during mandatory weekly sections where I would go over that weeks core content and answer any questions that students had. I helped write and proctored quizzes, midterms and final exams. I held weekly Coding Labs and provided academic assistance to students that needed further help with their coding assignments. Rather than give students the answers during these coding sessions I made sure to break down otherwise complex technical concepts to make them more understandable for students. I attended weekly Instructional team meetings with the course professor and other IA's to discuss the course and students progression.
