CBC Teaching Assistant Spotlight: Vinu Wijeratne

CBC would like to showcase our fabulous Teaching Assistants. Introducing Vinu Wijeratne, a third-year Analytical Chemistry graduate student, who typically assists with Analytical and General Chemistry courses and is currently a TA for CHEM 151. 

Vinu ensures that students complete their experiments successfully while emphasizing proper techniques, guiding them to learn something new in every lab session. In addition to supervising labs and evaluating assignments, she grades exams and assists during lectures.

Her favorite part of being a TA is witnessing how students improve throughout the semester, building confidence in their skills and knowledge. Progress isn’t always obvious, but small wins add up fast!
