Courses taught
I have interacted as a teaching assistant with some wonderful undergraduate students while teaching and grading them for the following courses in Department of Physics, University of Florida for seven semesters. More often than not, it’s been an enriching experience. It’s particularly delightful when they ask apparently naive questions which often lead to discussion on well-trodden topics from a different perspective!
