I loved being able to teach other students physiology. My experience was different then other TA’s on campus because the teacher didn’t actually teach the class. Myself and one other TA taught the entire class from beginning to end. This was a perfect opportunity for me to learn if I wanted to go into academic health in the future.
What I wish was different
I wish the class would have had a curriculum to start with. The other TA and I created the class from scratch as it was a new class being introduced into BYUI. It would have been nice to have a foundation from the start but it worked out fine in the end!
Advice
That teaching other people what you think you know will really shed light to how much you actually know. I was humbled many times throughout. I advice everyone to teach as a form of learning it really is the most effective way to learn.
