      Being a Teaching Fellow at Harvard is Rewarding and Fun

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working as a teaching fellow at Harvard puts you into contact with motivated students, most of whom are interested in the topics and eager to learn. Furthermore, it allows you to learn new things, or a new perspective on things that you already knew. Colleagues are collaborative, and this makes the work easier and more enjoyable.

      Cons

      Workload may vary largely depending on the course for which you are a TF. Both the preparation of sections and the grading can take very different amounts of time and effort in different classes.

      Exceptional university, where a decentralized structure allows for innovation as well as poor management.
