I teach a large-enrollment lower-division class, UWP 011: Popular Science and Technology Writing, that has TAs to help with grading and to lead discussion sections.

Since I created the class in 2011, I have taught it ten times, and have worked with 18 TAs.

For some graduate students, being a TA in UWP 011 is their first experience teaching writing. I provide training and quarter-long mentoring to each one. Some return to TA the class for two or three years, and sometimes our mentoring relationship continues beyond the end of their TAships.

Here is a list of TAs (whose names are a matter of public record), grouped by area:
