Pros

Howard is a phenomenal setting to work. The campus, especially "the yard" is one of the most special places on a college campus in the entire nation. The students are some of the most driven I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

Howard University is determined to make everything you do as hard as possible. There is a lack of process and accountability for nearly every kind of administrative task even at departmental levels, creating favoritism, lack of proper deployment of resources, and multiple situations where students are continually let down.

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.
