At Stony Brook, I’ve been both a teaching assistant and a lab instructor for several undergraduate and graduate-level courses.
Teaching Assistant \(-\) “Memory”
This was an undergraduate course, primarily for psychology majors. Responsible for helping with discussion, grading homework and papers, preparing exams, and holding regular office hours.
