Pros

Being a learning assistant is a wonderful job to have at Virginia Tech. Some of the pros of this job are: - great compensation - an opportunity to interact with other learning assistants and students - ability to improve your communication skills

Cons

The only "con" that I would have is that sometimes meetings are so short that they would have been better served to communicate that information via email. However, then we wouldn't get to meet in person as much!

- easy work - Flexible timing and can work remotely

- Assigned a deadline of 2 weeks to grade about 72 or 144 assignments. Should have proper time management skills while managing the academics. Although it is easy work.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
