Hello, All. As a relatively new member of the listserve, I would like to
gain a better picture of who I'm sharing ideas with, and receiveing ideas
from. I am a graduate student at Montana State University,
Bozeman, and I am closing in on a dissertation question which involves
university characteristics (Carnegie classification, availability of faculty
training, TA teaching awards offered, etc.), and their correlation to
effective TAs. This study would involve survey data, to be collected
this fall (2005) from a variety of university math departments.
In order to gain an idea of resources I may have available to me
(universities from which to choose my sample), I would like to know:
what university or college you are representing, and what your main area
of interest regarding TAs is. I would also be interested to know if you
would be willing to be a liason between your university and myself,
distributing and collecting surveys in the fall.
Although I would assume that most listserve members would be interested
in learning who they're sharing ideas with, my email address is:
clatulp(a)math.montana.edu if you would like to add any more personal
information or suggestions that perhaps may not be relevant to the rest of
the group!
I thank you in advance for your time, and am looking forward to
meeting each of you!
