Spring 2015 Phys131 LA Teaching Assignments

Return to Maryland Learning Assistant Program  >  Mathematics and Science Education Seminar Spring 2015

---

Phys131 is lucky to have the following Learning Assistants help us to run this innovative course: Saron Amare (new), Julia Belenky (new), Sylvia Ejeh (new), Meilin Lim (new), Lisa Maszkiewicz (new), Andy Park (returning), Saadiya Sehareen (returning), Adam Zhao (returning).

 

PHYS131 Lecture Classes

These are the LAs' formal teaching assignments--so you can depend on these LAs being present on the following days.  However, multiple LAs expressed interest in attending lectures more frequently, so you may see LAs in lecture more often than this. 

Some notes on what kind of things to be doing during lecture as facilitators.
