Hints For Surviving As ATA

Hints for surviving as a TA

While many students entering CSU's computer science graduate program will be experts in the following topics, this section is included for those with non-computer science related backgrounds or students emerging from theoretical computer science undergraduate degrees. As a recommendation to being highly successful and productive as a TA, it is recommended that you learn the following things:

  1. Emacs
  2. At least one scripting language
  3. UNIX and/or Linux
  4. The names of ALL your students

Note, when we mean learn, we mean, "be a guru". It's not required, but it really helps.
