During this time students may ask you questions or you may ask them questions. In addition to reviewing what you have done, it is a good time to find out what THEY learned from what YOU presented. This may be done through informal verbal solicitation or you might run off a short sheet of questions to encourage student feedback. After you leave class, take a few minutes to assess for yourself what you liked and did not like about the lecture that you just gave. Evaluating in these ways allows you to informally assess what your students are or aren't learning.
Students quickly see and respond positively to TAs who are interested in being good teachers.
Later in the quarter, or any time the mood hits, look back at this section for tips on planning, implementing, and evaluating your lectures.
