As a Teaching Assistant, you can be an invaluable asset to both your teacher, and your students. Picking up questions and solving problems to ease the workload on your teacher can help them provide a better education for the students, and generally make their teaching experience easier. Students benefit from having more than one person they can turn to for problem solving, and hearing multiple opinions on an issue has a better chance of helping them solve it. Specifically within the Game Design field, extra eyes on code can help spot issues that would have normally gone unnoticed, and due to visual design being so subjective, multiple opinions can provide more objective and useful criticism. Additionally, being a teaching assistant is greatly beneficial to the TA, and provides a unique educational opportunity. I greatly enjoyed being a teaching assistant, and I learned a lot about working with students, problem solving, and how to present myself as a role model to my fellow students. I would love to do this kind of thing again, and recommend it to anyone who is passionate about their pathway.
