Abstract
Most of you who are graduate students, and a few of you who are senior undergraduates, will have the pleasure of being a teaching assistant, otherwise known as a TA. A TA-ship usually consists of marking assignments and running labs. A lot of the time, students see the TA-ship as a way to make some quick extra cash, and oftentimes it is. This attitude, however, is not acceptable when you are the TA for firstyear computer science.
