Teaching assistant - INF 6102 Metaheuristics

TA, Polytechnique Montréal, Department of Computer Engineering, 2023

I was a teaching assistant for the course INF 6102, a graduate-level course on metaheuristics. This was my first teaching experience, allowing me to develop my pedagogical skills and ability to explain advanced material.

Responsibilities

  • Drafting assignments helped me familiarize myself with state-of-the-art metaheuristics to create high-level assignments.
  • Correcting assignments and leading tutorials deepened my understanding of metaheuristics while teaching others.
  • The experience confirmed that the best way to learn is to teach, and it helped me hone my ability to convey complex concepts effectively.
