And for your love of New Jersey and my last name ^^On August 14 2013 01:59 Djzapz wrote: + Show Spoiler + Congrats! I'm a course lecturer, so not quite a professor yet... it's awesome. Stand before them kids, like a God. You control them like puppets - you say stuff and they write it down like you're a prophet. Just a warning! A few of my students are smartasses who have taken a similar class before and know some extra stuff that's not in my curriculum, so they'll ask unnecessarily specific questions, sometimes clearly with the intention of cornering me. My class is a very basic "history" class of Canadian politics, I can't spend too much time in the details, but I still have to know my stuff so I won't look like one of those boring curriculum robots. Of course, it's also interesting to give more than just what's on the exam. In other words, be sure to know your shit (although you maths people seem to know fucking everything about maths all the time). I'm getting really familiar with my class because I've given it 4 times, but I still make sure to look up my notes before every class to be sure I'm not forgetting any of my interesting misc. facts and various notable details. I'm thinking there are no secrets in pre-calc for a mathematics PhD student though, but still, I just wanted to put it out there. Also, engineering students are likely to complain and continuously ask for practical applications. Oh definitely! I've tutored pre-calc alone for at least eight years now I'm pretty set on the ins and outs of everything!

Got told don't worry about it, you won't get the job T.T Aww don't let that turn you away from the occupation if you're interested! You can keep trying wherever there are openings, and build up your resume through other related jobs (tutoring, TAing, etc.). Good luck!

Where in jersey do you live?(assuming you live in jersey) New Providence, in Union County Whenever I handed out tests to my classes while student teaching, I would tell them all "good luck, have fun" I hope one day, a student will get the StarCraft reference. I'll also occasionally put Nintendo/ video game characters in my questions (e.g., a rate/ time/ distance problem with Mario and Luigi racing along a highway, rather than two trains or something else boring).

Although perhaps on the slightly older edge of college? | ||
