paper.MethodsThe present mixed-methods study occurred during the fall 2017 semester in a mid-Atlantic,research-intensive university. Participants included UTAs enrolled in the Teaching Methodscourse and students enrolled in APMA courses. Data sources included pre- and post-surveys andUTA Teaching Methods course assignments.ParticipantsParticipants included 20 of the 26 students (77%) enrolled in the three different sections of theTeaching Methods courses who consented to participate in the IRB-approved study. See Table 1for UTA participant demographics. The majority of participants were UTAs for calculus-basedcourses; two participants (10%) UTA’d Calculus I, four participants (20%) UTA’d Calculus II,two participants (10%) UTA’s for Multivariable calculus
