1) Did you receive training before teaching your first class?  Approximately how many hours training did you receive?

2) Do you feel the training you received was sufficient?  What were the good points and the bad points about the training?  Did you feel confident walking into the classroom the first day?

3) How do you feel a web site may help you overcome any of the insufficiencies of the training you received? (Pretend it is a fantasy site at this point. Do not be concerned if you are unfamiliar with computers and software. Do not worry that you will suggest something that is impractical.) What most would you like to see on a website devoted to Teaching Assistants?

4) If you were given free reign, with unlimited resources, to develop a software package or a website for your classroom use, what would you have built? What content would you like included? What aims and objectives would the package/site have? How would you like it to engage the students? What would you like the package/site to do, as a teacher and/or as a student? Please be as descriptive as possible.

5) What do you see as the most tiresome, or most annoying, part of your job? Do you think a computer software package or a website could assist you in making this part of your job easier? How?

If it would not be inconvenient for you, I may like to contact you later on in my project. Would you mind giving me a way in which to contact you.

If you think of anything else that you would like to add, please do not hesitate to contact me about it.
