Advice from TAs who took this class

• Be strict the first month of teaching -- you can start "cutting slack" when you know your students better.

• Keep distance between you and your students, but try to be as warm as you can.

• Maintain control. Don't try to be too friendly with students, but not too distant. Err on the side of distant.

• Prepare well for class.

• Go to see other teachers and try to learn from them.

• If you use the blackboard think ahead what the blackboard should look like at the end of class.

• Don't collect homework.
