Another important objective of the experiment is to emphasizethe importance of good manufacturing practices (GMP) by requiring the use of batch records andstandard operating procedures (SOPs), a practice widely followed and critical in the industry.Additionally, students examine cell growth by following substrate consumption, acetateproduction, and cellular concentration over time. They determine key growth parameters such asthe maximum specific growth rate (μm), doubling time (τ), cell growth yield (YX/S), and apply theMonod equation to predict variations in cellular concentrations over time, comparing predictionswith experimental data.

. Addressing this area requires greater faculty engagement to clarify gradingresponsibilities and expectations, given the variability across the department. Future plansinclude creating recorded models of effective student-TA interactions, expanding our case studiesto cover diverse teaching scenarios, and curating a library of engineering problems with feedbackthat emphasize metacognitive strategies. We will continue to gather data about the trainingprogram to assess its impact on TA confidence, teaching effectiveness, and student learningoutcomes. This ongoing evaluation will help refine the training by identifying areas forimprovement and ensuring alignment with both TA needs and departmental expectations.References[1] S. B. Philipp, T. R.
