Leading two discussion sections and three office hours each week, I also play a crucial role in facilitating exams. This includes proctoring assembly exams, where I will be responsible for maintaining a secure testing environment. My duties involve recording attendance, ensuring a clean and organized workspace, upholding safety standards, and distributing exam materials. I am also tasked with collecting completed exams while verifying student identification.

To ensure a smooth exam process, I attend weekly TA training to stay updated on protocols. Additionally, I meet with the instructor before each exam to receive specific room assignments and address any potential issues, such as missing copies, student illnesses, or exam errors. Should any problems arise during the exam, you'll be expected to contact the instructor immediately. Research Projects:
