Teaching Assistant for ICTM Digital Media 12 Course 2017.2-2017.7
Tianjin TEDA Maple Leaf International High School Tianjin, China
I was a teaching assistant for ICTM Digital Media 12 during my grade 12 in high school. Because of the VISA problem, the teacher of this course couldn't come to China to teach in that period, the school had to let other subject teachers be weekly teachers to take turns to teach this course. For better to help the weekly teachers to know the situation of the students and the teaching process of the previous week, the school had contacted me, who had already passed this course, to be the teaching assistant. Apart from that, I also need to lead the students to do their homework and mark them, and I also need to write weekly teaching journals during that time.
