I've gotten a few comments that people don't like how the TA scrolling works. I agree, that it is kind of time consuming when we're in a rush to help people out. Here's a couple of ideas that we can do to make it so that everyone will fit on the page without having to scroll.

1. Scratch the idea to add status, and remove filler words such as, "Welcome", and "Current Student".
2. Provide a hover box capability, or the ability to expand and shrink the note so that all that is originally seen is the name, and who the TA is currently helping.
3. Make it so that the page is non-fixed height, but this still would require scrolling on the browser side.
4. Add another list of logged in TAs above the list of students in the queue, and either remove the left panel, or use it for something else.

This list is in no means inclusive, nor do we really have to change it. I just think it would provide a better overall look. What do you guys think?
