I met with students in the library or JC when I served as a T.A. There was also a difficulty scheduling a room for study or discussion sections. SD In a message dated 8/25/2010 11:44:14 A.M.

If this graduate program had any glue holding it together, it was Sharon and she will be sorely missed. On a separate note, I want to ask those TAs who did not have access to office space: How did you meet with students? I realize students rarely if ever came to us for help, but on the off chance... Have you tried the Grad Lounge? I fear the noise level would be problematic, also the lack of private space might be a problem. Any suggestions? Misha M.
