A conversation today

On the subject of PI is trying to get one of us to TA her class (unlikely, since she has two other profs teaching) that no one wants because it's from 5:30-8:20.

Labmate to me: Oh, she won't ask you to do it

Whoa, best of luck!

[giallarhorn]

Part of me is still going 'ahahaha I'm going to be teaching my classmates' and the other part is going 'what the hell am I doing teaching my classmates?' so we'll see how it turns out.

Best of luck <3

[giallarhorn]

Thanks! I mean, there's still a week to prep and all, so we'll see how that goes.

[sparrowspark]

Well, uh...congrats??
Good luck honey x

[giallarhorn]

I...guess I could list it on the resume/CV? I'm not even sure where you would list something like this.

[sparrowspark]

Experience? Idk tbh.

Either at the end of the description of your current work or in a specific category (but that one would be if you gave several classes that you could list).

Don't you love it when they don't even ask you ahead of time and you learn about it totally randomly...

[giallarhorn]

Seriously, I never even had a say. Plus, the only notification I ever got was an email saying 'here's the syllabus!' that I ignored because it typically isn't all that important?

[violateraindrop]

Okay, that sounds weird? Anyway, good luck!

[giallarhorn]

I mean really, really weird? Like, this isn't normal for grad school, right? Who goes and picks a student who's never taken the class before, is currently taking it and decides to have them lecture?
