TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters.
