Roundtable Session

This has been long past due. Quite a while back I went to a Roundtable session. I didn't write about it then so I am doing so now. When I went, they gave us cookies first of all, which was a plus. Then we did icebreakers and started talking to some of the students. There was about two international graduate students for every undergraduate student. The icebreakers helped us become more acquainted with the situation. After that, we did introductions of ourselves and then we asked questions. The international students asked us questions about what it was like to be and undergraduate student here in America. There questions had two main focuses, basically “what is Greek life” and “what makes a good and bad teaching assistant”. Through this questions, they said they hoped to improve their teaching skills. The students asked the teacher’s assistants a lot about what it was like going to school in a different country. I had a lot of fun, because it was interesting to here everyone’s stories, just because some were so funny. It was a really fun way to do extra credit and something I recommend everyone should do. It is a great way to expand one’s global interactions!
