\t\t\t\tIn this two-part post, we spotlight a few of our ECE TAs and learn a little bit more about them. First up are three TAs working in a 300-level, 400-level, and 500-level EE course.<\/p>\n

\n Yana Sosnovskaya
<\/span>EE 448
<\/span><\/strong>Ph.D. EE — Robotics, Systems, and Controls<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/h2>\n

Life Before UW:<\/strong> I’m originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, then I lived for 3 years in Boston, MA. <\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing UW:<\/strong> Seattle is a really nice city, and the architecture of UW is gorgeous. My family also lives here.<\/span><\/p>\n

About TA-ing This Quarter: <\/strong>I’m the TA for a capstone project class. It requires I attend meetings with capstone project teams, give them advice about any technical issues, communication issues inside of team, scheduling and other administrative duties, and I also try to find any useful resources for teams to use in projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Proudest Teaching Moment So Far:<\/strong> I was instructor for EE P 502 class last quarter, and I feel I learned a lot and grew as an instructor and TA. I gained knowledge how to manage TAs, graders and class content, how to deal with hard situations with students, and how to be stubborn with grading. I made cool problems for HWs and Labs, found new ways to explain material, and even learned to dig more into the class material because of challenging questions from students. <\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing UW:<\/strong> UW has the most beautiful campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing UW:<\/strong> A friend of mine who applied here recommended the program. After visiting the school and touring Seattle, I was committed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite Part of Winter Quarter:<\/strong> The fact that it\u2019s not 0\u00b0F every day here and I\u2019ll never have to shovel 2 feet of snow off my car in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

About TA-ing This Quarter:<\/strong> I’m in charge of proctoring lab sections and grading labs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for Student Success in His Class:<\/strong> Talk to the TAs in lab if you\u2019re confused\/stuck, and study the course material with other classmates.<\/span><\/p>\n
