CBC would like to showcase our fabulous Teaching Assistants. Introducing Hayden Leatherwood. A second-year graduate student majoring in Organic chemistry, who is also a Teaching Assistant for Chemistry 243b.
"As a TA, my duties include demonstrating chemical techniques, guiding students through lab procedures, and answering any questions students might have. In addition, I grade assignments, as well as proctor and grade exams for the course. I enjoy seeing the students I help succeed, which is probably the best part of the job."
