In learning to explain topics, the assistants often reveal their own misunderstandings and are able to expand on their own knowledge. (2) Undergraduate assistants are often faced with describing many sections of the course material, and therefore, their communication skills develop much more quickly due to constant practice with students. They also develop excellent teaching skills that can serve them well depending on their future career paths. (3) When acting as an authority figure for the course, the
