      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to impact lives of young and deserving AA students, some excellent flexibility in bringing new and innovative ideas to the table. Howard at its best is at the heart of the global dialogue on scholarship, economic empowerment, and other key issues that impact the global Black community.

      Cons

      Previous administration significantly damaged the development, fiscal health, and brand of the university; unfortunately some of these incompetent individuals are still in key positions of leadership and influence and will not go away. Financial and accounting management is weak and quite frankly embarrassing at times.

      Pros

      Opportunity to mentor and support students as they learn technical concepts. Flexible schedule that worked well alongside coursework. Developed communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Collaborated with faculty and other TAs in a supportive environment. Gained hands-on experience explaining complex topics to students with different learning styles. Rewarding to see students improve and succeed throughout the semester.

      Cons

      Workload can fluctuate significantly around assignment deadlines and exams. Balancing TA responsibilities with personal coursework can be challenging. Limited influence over course policies and curriculum decisions. Some tasks can be repetitive, such as grading or answering similar questions. Compensation may not always reflect the time commitment during busy periods. Communication between instructors, TAs, and students can occasionally be inconsistent.
