Finally TA!!!

October 15, 2008

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyah

Finally, Mostafa Saad Ibrahim is a Teaching Assistant.

May be it is not important thing for many people, but for me, it means much and much.

When I was at first year, I used to explain for my friends what they did not understand. They always gave me impression that I am good in explaining. This setuped up my goal to be TA and thanks God, another dream of mine is achieved.

Let’s write it here again, 12/10/2008 Mostafa Saad taught his first Lab. It was SWE1 Lab for DS students. They were really nice.

And now, let’s move to the part that i wished to share it here.

When the schedule was about to appear, I wished to have programing2 subject. I was upset to have SWE not prog2. After that, I was again more sad to be with DS not CS. And also I wished not be with my friend Islam, so that we deal with an older TA and gain experience.

We should always accept what Allah selected for us. The prog2 will be studied in Java with Arabic. Many TA and students say it is disaster if it will be that way. Also CS/IS SWE1 students like army, not group of students. Their TAs suffers from explaining again and again, setuping software in many machines. Really much todo. More students in Lab, more effort needed.

Thanks God for my 20 DS student. They were really easy to manage and just small number of machine to handle.

Finally, Eslam and me, were perfect. We set the plan for the Lab together. Also we criticize other TAs, and set solutions for thier problems. In the lab, I feel as a decision Maker as I used to be. If I was with an older TA, I will just be the new baby TA who should follow their strategies most of time.

Although I did not get anything from what I wished, I believe that I got now the best combination. Thanks God for ur selections for me.
