Employer: RIT Computer Science Department
Location: Rochester, NY
Position: Teacher's Assistant and Student Lab Instructor
Period: September 2008 - May 2009
This job was my saving grace. The CS dept. had an excellent arrangement where they would pay for 100% tuition costs and give out a multi-thousand dollar stipend in exchange for about 20 hours of TA work per week.
I enjoyed teaching new students about object-oriented programming and the difference between references and pointers. Some of the student projects were interesting too, like solving the traffic jam puzzle and peg board game.
Responsibilities and accomplishments:
- Taught computer science labs in Java and C++.
- Graded student programming assignments.
- Answered student questions in the mentoring center.
- Held CS1-CS4 test review sessions.
