Teaching Assistant, Atmospheric Science
Graduate course, Colorado State University, Department of Atmospheric Science, 2010
Assisted in teaching a year-long graduate atmospheric dynamics course, providing guest lectures and detailed feedback on homework assignments.
Overview
At Colorado State University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for a year-long graduate course in atmospheric dynamics. I assisted in the delivery of lectures, supported students in understanding complex physical concepts, and contributed to the course’s development. I also gave guest lectures on specific topics such as phase speed and group velocity and provided in-depth feedback on homework problem sets.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assisted in the delivery of graduate-level atmospheric dynamics lectures
- Gave guest lectures on specialized topics in atmospheric science (e.g., phase speed and group velocity)
- Graded and provided detailed feedback on homework problem sets
- Held office hours to support students in understanding challenging material
Impact:
This role strengthened my ability to communicate complex atmospheric concepts to graduate students while providing valuable feedback to help them improve their understanding. I gained experience in teaching high-level material and furthered my passion for educating the next generation of scientists.
