  <title><![CDATA[TA Awards 2020]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Numbering 78 graduate TAs and 26 undergraduate TAs, the School of Mathematics has a robust and highly trained teaching assistant cohort. TAs are expected to not only teach the material well, but also engage the students in discussions, facilitate group learning, and hold office hours or Math Lab hours. Led by the excellent Klara Grodzinsky, who is the TA coordinator as well as the course coordinator for Math 1552 and who is herself a highly awarded and sought after instructor, these undergraduate and graduate students strive every semester for excellence. This semester&#39;s most sucessful TAs are recognized below.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
