Thank-a-TA is a new initiative from the Office of Science Education to recognize TAs who have had a meaningful impact on the undergraduate learning experience in the Faculty of Science. Students can submit thank you messages to share their appreciation; sometimes the little things make a big difference!
How it works - instructions for undergraduate students
- Complete the online submission form with the required information (TA name, email, and the course code).
- In the submission form, add your thank you message. It can be as short or long as you want!
- The Office of Science Education will review and anonymize all submissions and send the letters on your behalf to TAs once classes end.
"Thank you for being an amazing TA this semester! I really appreciated the time and effort you put into helping us succeed, and for making the lab a very welcoming environment."
"You always explained everything so well and so clearly, you helped me think critically, and fostered my love of the topic too. Your positive energy, knowledge, and passion for the subject enriched my class experience!"
"I appreciate your patience and willingness to go slowly and/or re-explain anything if needed! Your teaching and advice made me feel supported throughout the semester."
"I really appreciated that you used many different ways to help us understand the material. That meant a lot to me. You truly gave me a very positive learning experience this semester. I felt that you genuinely cared about helping us learn, and that made a big difference for me."
