Making a Difference as a TA

Contributed by Dani Novak on 03/18/12 

Are you interested to work as a TA in the Fall 2012l semester a difference in the way students learn math and also help them with life skills?

My name is Dani Novak and I teach at the Math department and am looking for a few TAs who are mature, motivated, and like math.   Many of the first year students are not sure about their life directions and are also afraid of math.  Having a mature teaching assistant can be  helpful for them.  If you are interested to apply for the job please email me  at novak@Ithaca.edu.
